Inspiration. It can come from many places, it is what gets us going, keeps us going and makes us want to “keep going.” Without it we likely won’t get much done, or have a reason to even try. If you are “inspired,” then you know what it is like to have the ability to get things done, because after all that’s what inspiration does for you.
There must be something present in one’s life to inspire them. It is likely different things for different people. We all don’t thrive on the same type things.
My inspiration comes from two main things in my life. These are:
- My faith. My faith is the center of my life. I juggle the many, many aspects of my life and tasks in my life by “relying on my faith.” In order to keep myself grounded and on track I spend time with my Heavenly Father daily. My time reading His Word and praying helps to put things in perspective and keep me going.
- My children. Before I had children I never imagined the responsibility you feel as a parent. It can be overwhelming at times, but mostly it is inspiring. It inspires me to be a better person, to watch my actions and attitudes and to excel in the role of guide, teacher, friend, encourager, and so much more that we have as parents.
This is what inspires me, your inspiration may come from a very different place, but no matter what let it drive you, let it guide you and let it make you a success today!

We need to look for inspiration daily in our lives. My family is my inspiration on a regular basis and the desire to provide a good and balanced life for my children drives me forward.
In the business world my drive to help others succeed and prosper becomes my driving force in my daily activities.
Thanks for the great post.
All my inspiration comes from God. Everything falls under that for me.
Hi Alyssa – congratulations on becoming one of the writers here! I’ve always enjoyed your unbridled passion and joy for your faith, family and community.
My family and my faith inspire me. My faith transcends every corner of my life (including my work) so I am thankful for that! But I am also inspired by the testimonial of others whose faith and family inspire them.
Hi Alyssa!
I would like to say that all of my inspiration comes from my children or my family, but the truth is that I am inspired by the people around me. I sometimes have a hard time surrounding myself with the right people, but I guess that God lets you know sooner or later if He agrees with your actions!!!
Great article! So happy to have you as the new Inspired Bliss Editor!!
This is absolutely fantastic.
I love it.
I get inspiration from different things each day, from a movie, to gardening, and even from something a child may say. The Holy Spirit is so great that way. He knows just what it takes to get our attention and speak to us. :O) Thanks for the article Alyssa.
