Who and What Inspire You?

by JimRaffel on August 29, 2010

From a blogging perspective I am most inspired by other bloggers. Some bloggers have the ability to capture so much of themselves in their writing that to read their blogs is to know them. About a year ago I came across the blogs of Anne and Krista, both of which have helped inspire my personal development and renewed interest in blogging.

who and what inspire youAnne. I read Nothing in Moderation and Better Than I Was Yesterday on Bananzattack almost a year ago. At the time I remember thinking to myself, you came through all that and transform yourself into the person that writes this blog? If you can do that, then I too can do almost anything to become a better person.

Krista. Shortly after meeting at a Tweetup I took a look at Krista’s blog and a post about time was right there waiting for me to read. I was at a point in my life when I needed some time to heal. Reading the words of someone else reminded me time takes, well time.

Not every blog I read is about business. Not every book I read is about business. I get outside the box and look for ideas and inspiration anywhere I think I can find them. Sometimes I even look where I don’t think ideas and inspiration will be and – surprise there they are.

Your turn, who and what inspire you?

    Ray, the work you’ve done on your blog is pretty damn inspirational too. Keep writing it’s going to get you where you want to be.
