Often times it is easy to get discouraged, and to let your dreams just fade into the background. Once that has happened for me I just sort of wade through life until something inspirational stirs my soul and awakens the dreams again. So to keep this from happening, I am making a list of the things that I find that wake my soul up and get it excited so that I can resort to them when I get discouraged. A few from my list would include the movie Braveheart (as well as the soundtrack), staring at campfire, and reading Hebrews 11. The list goes on, but I would like to know what inspires you? What stirs your soul awake?

Hot and nasty sex.
That and insightful revelations and innovations in artwork or music.
Actually, the biggest motivator for me is to imagine the heartbreak I would feel on my deathbed if I didn’t accomplish, or at least make my best attempt at, my life goals.

Interesting topic. I’ve been thinking about this all day since I read your post, and couldn’t come up with a thing. Perhaps this is why I’ve been depressed for awhile–I’ve forgotten what inspires me. These days, I only seem to be running on the fear of meeting deadlines, the responsibilities of life, and memories of my recent failures to accomplish goals that I didn’t necessarily set for myself, but are requirements of my job. I’m beginning to feel like I’m on some journey to the darkest depths of my soul.
