Thought it would be nice to have a thread for this and I'm totally interested in peoples answers. It could be anything from a person, some art work, music, film, place, event, etc...

(this is a part of my homework for my training loll & wondering others (not sure myself yet) & thought would make a nice thread too) 😊
“And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    My Nan  inspires me . She was amazing and always had these we’re sayings and I’m starting to write them down becuase I’m slowly losing her memories but she was a amazing person who was always there for us to talk to about anything 
    Sometimes all you need is one person to believe in you , for you to begin to believe in yourself.

    Was randomly watching an interview with Eddie Izzard the other day, and oh my goodness what an inspirational human being. They talked about how they'd ran over 80 marathons, toured the world, and now they're getting into politics, all while facing the usual social challenges of having a non-binary identity. Blew me away, honestly. I've always known of Eddie Izzard but never taken much (if any) time to really learn about them.
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
