I Am Inspired
I am inspired
What is it that you really want to do ?
What is your own special dream that you want to live out ?
Do you believe your life is going to be a masterpiece like the Mona Lisa, or is it some smudged finger painting ?
Ultimately it begins with a choice. It begins with a decision that no matter what, you are going to live your life as a work of art by getting inspired from all the great people around you.

What Is Inspiration?
“To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.” – Tony Dorsett
Many people think of it as a quality that is elusive and can’t be forced, and yet it can be found if you choose to look for it.
Others think it’s a way to generate ideas, but it’s more than just ideas… it’s being moved to put those ideas into ACTION.

Inspiration is all around, if you know where to look. When your life is chugging along slowly, without much enthusiasm, try these four places to put it back into high gear.
1. Your country's flag.
No matter what country you live in, millions of patriotic men and women before you made sacrifices so you can enjoy a better life. Every time you see a flag, let it inspire you to vote, conserve energy or resources, or volunteer. Your country will be made stronger for the generations who follow you.
2. Appliances and electronics.
Every man-made device you see in your home or at work started with an idea in someone's mind. Often it took the inventor years of struggle and development to make his dream a reality. If they succeeded, you can too. Every new idea is attacked by critics and naysayers. But when you look at your car, television, or refrigerator, let these successful products remind you that with enough hard work, dreams do come true.
3. A school building.
When you see a school, think about all the teachers who dedicated their lives to your education. Remember too, that learning is a lifelong process. Curiosity keeps you

    “Do your job.” A simple quote by Bill Belichick (New England Patriots Head Football Coach) but this quote means a lot about my character. The reason it means a lot to me is because if you work tremendously hard and do your job your team will be successful. My head football coach, Mike Rowe uses this quote as well and adds “If everybody does your job you will be successful. Trust your teammates since they will fight for you and the rest of the team.” I am tying this quote to football but it can be used in any team sport you are involved in. Football teaches character and that’s why I love it so much. I’ve learned so much about myself and how I want to live my life just from being in football.…

    It is uncertain whether or not people actually realize the meaning behind the flag. Some would say it means nothing, that it is just a piece of fabric. But, it is not merely what the flag is, but what it stands for. There have been times, when during the National Anthem, that people have refused to stand, cross their hearts, or remove hats from their heads. So many people gave their lives in order to secure this country which we so carelessly disrespect.…

    The American Flag is the embodiment of freedom, and is made powerful through dedication and sacrifice. The ultimate sacrifice for America and Freedom has been made countless times by the brave and selfless men and women of the American Military. Walking barefoot through snow at Valley Forge, being slaughtered on the beaches at D-Day, fighting in booby trapped enemy infested jungles, and battling an enemy driven by a religion that has no honor; these are Americans defending their freedom and the freedom of others. To give four years of your life you have to be dedicated to a cause; that cause has to be even more important if it requires that you fight and possibly die. Our Military has always been a large part of the "face" of…

    What the United States flag means to me is freedom. I hear the stories of the people who have their whole life chosen for them in different countries. Which sounds absolutely horrifying to me. I enjoy being able to decide my future like what kind of job i'm going to have or what college I’m going to go to. I don’t want that taken away from me.The Flag also ensures me as much safety as possible. What I mean by that is we have so many people who risked their life and are risking their life right now to keep that flag standing. All those people who have died died to ensure that I and everyone else live free and that means the world to me.…

    I loved art. When I was a young child I would always design new temples, and pyramids in the sand. I loved to paint, I would make my own paint and draw on anything I possibly could. I was passionate about it all. Father and mother always supported my art, but they expected me to follow father’s footsteps and become a scriber. I didn’t want to be a scriber. I wanted to be a painter. I wanted to design the newest, most beautiful pyramid in Egypt. It was a big dream, but I was determined to make it happen. I would be the greatest painter Egypt has ever seen.…

    The flag represents our military and stands as an item of worship for them. “Soldiers going into harm's way have worn and continue to wear, the American flag on their uniforms.”(Davidson) Wearing the flag on their uniform is them showing respect for our country. “As a veteran I view and treat our flag with the greatest respect and as a symbol of the sacrifices that so many veterans have made in the defense of our country in so many wars and conflicts,” stated by Kenneth E. Irvine, MSgt, USAF, when asked how he felt about the desecration amendment being put into motion.

    What the American flag means to me. The American flag is something that I've looked at since I was 5 years old in preschool. Every day in school since then I have said the promise of loyalty with my peers to the flag with my hand on my heart. When I see a flag blowing in the wind, or when I see a crowd of people standing with their hands to their hearts while the National Anthem plays, it gives me chills. When I recite "The Pledge of Allegiance," it is more than just words to me. It is a reminder of honor to be a citizen of "the land of the free and the home of the brave."…
