INSPIRATION

We all receive inspiration from somewhere or something.  Inspiration, motivation, dedication.  Where does it come from?  I received inspiration yesterday from my daughter.  She took on a new project, powerlifting.  I know, I had a perception too of pumped up powerhouses, YIKES!  Not true.  My daughter is in her prom dress one day heading out with her boyfriend and out there competing lifting weights the next.  She set a goal a few years ago to play volleyball in college.  This seemed far fetched at the time considering she is 5'2 and comes from a class D high school.  She will be going to college next fall and will be playing on the team.  She has been training for powerlifting which to her was lifting, exercising, eating right, staying in weight class.  She went to regionals and state and received medals in both.  I teared up last night watching her compete in state because I knew how much she put into it and what an accomplishment it was. People tell me I should be proud.  I am proud, but I feel kudos also goes to my grandparents and parents.  My grandparents instilled in us integrity, work ethic and great business sense along with being honestly good people.  My parents always encouraged us with any idea we had, no matter how silly they may have thought it was.  I have passed all this on to my girls.  It brings to mind a quote I heard the other day "The difference between try and triumph is a little UMPH!"  This gave me a kick of motivation and I hope it does to you too.
