    The first thought from Seth hits a target that was to become the bane of my professional life a few years ago. We were expected by those who should have known better to measure everything we did. A nightmare! The company went bang, no surprise to me.

    My source of inspiration is my brother and my parents, even my sisters who are settled abroad. I learn from small examples and tiny creatures too. For eg , the ants who are determined to climb a huge wall or a vessel to reach for food.

    Recently, I am inspired by "feeding the birds" so I started a lens on it. It got me thinking that if birds are being fed, we human beings should have no problem to survive right?

    My inspiration comes from the Creator of Heaven & Earth! The one and only Lord above! I love giving God a shout out when ever I can and since this was a lens about inspiration I guess I just felt the impulse.

    I saw your updates on Twitter and thought I would pop in and see these updates you were talking about. This is a fantastic lens. I think you should add some Napoleon Hill, he's a huge inspiration!

    Good luck and may God bless!!!

    Hi,

    Wonderful quotes and photos. I'd love it if you'd add your lens to the "Where Do You Find Inspiration" module on my "Inspirational and Motivational Designs" lens (www.squidoo.com/inspireddesigns). People should see this!

    Your lens is thought provoking. 911 brought fear and mistrust to our lives. How are we going to recover our trust and feeling of safety? I find the movie Love Actually and the music of Pete Seeger bring peace back to my life and inspire me to pass that along to others.
