finding inspiration in the midst of uncertainty
A couple of months ago, I wrote a post around this question: What inspires you in the law and in life?
I’m very drawn to the topic, and exploration, of inspiration. In these uncertain times, discovering what inspires us can be both grounding and uplifting.
Over at her blog, Build a Solo Practice @ SPU, Susan Cartier Liebel tells us about the lifelong inspiration she’s gained from her mom’s aversion to the words “I Can’t." We can also find inspiration in great design and natural beauty.
Some times, when we’re feeling particularly challenged professionally or personally, inspiration comes in the form of another human being; a friend, colleague or total stranger who gives us a sense of hope or much-needed perspective on the possibility life holds. My mother recently sent me a video story about golf enthusiast D.J. Gregory.
Born with cerebral palsy, the 30-year-old, against all odds, walked every hole of every 2008 PGA tournament. In all, he traveled through 44 tournaments, 180 rounds, 3256 holes and over 900 miles on foot. I was so inspired by his story and believe you will be, too. Watch the video. It’s well worth the 12 minutes.
