What inspire you to be a better person?

[DiegoO]

I must admit that sometimes I just don't give a damn about becoming a better person.

Been jobless, with broken dreams, in a broken society and broken family; is not helping me in any form.

Despite all the negative, for some reason when I remember small moments with beloved ones, a switch turn on and I strive to be better.

Just being alive inspires me to do better.
when I didn’t have a job. I went out to find one.
when I didn’t have food, I picked up cans and crap metals in the streets…sell them for money to buy some food. I also went out to the mountains to look for roots, berries to eat.
when I went to another country and didn’t know English and was teased I took it in and learned English and I became better. When I lost everything, I sat back, took time to heal and start over.
before answering this question, I was thinking how lucky I am that I have this life.
I am older now and have children. They see my behaviors/thinking…my 13 year old son told me he knows why I am ALWAYS able to find good parking spots in busy streets.. I never pay much attention… he said because I think therefore I can.
he sees others who thinking differently… therefore they don’t see those parking spots.

you think therefore you are.

This is a great question.

I would say people who inspire me and my nieces and nephews. Whenever I hear a story about someone who overcame an hardship or someone who had all the odds against them and still succeed, I get inspired. I ask myself why I am complaining when I have what I need? Then I find a reason to not complain and I feel that I'm becoming a better human being.

I guess I don't need to say why my nieces and nephews make me a better person...

Hmmm. . . that is a daily challenge. Because the world can be a horrible, horrible place. And it makes us into horrible beings, because we are always trying to get back at someone.

This is my problem. I admire folks who can figure out how not to strike back. But I find it so hard. Jesus lead by example and I can't follow it. Then you have folks like Stokely Carmichael, Ghandi, John Lewis, etc. who can literally move mountains through non-violence. I don't understand it. But I want to be a better person. It is just so freaking hard.

But I get you. I get the anger. Mine manifests differently. How did these other people do so easily, what we find so hard?

Going to church inspires me to be a better person.

Hun sometimes we just need to have more faith in ourselves. Have you ever heard the expression.. we must love our self more than anyone else? It’s true to a certain extent I feel. You just need a little encouragement and you need to break down those walls. My dad passed away on my Birthday 8/8/17 and since then I’ve wanted to do things that would make him proud! Sometimes you just have to have a purpose … never lose hope ❤️🥰

I don’t know besides Jesus the Christ, Driven Monkey, Concrete and Tactile Accomplishment, and reading…

Christ, unfortunately some people use him as an excuse to be a worse person though.

[AngelOfLight258]

Thinking of the people I can help by doing so.
