Firstly; to SN...I never had anyone to encourage me growing up. To be able to inspire you to find that same inspiration within yourself means so much to me. I believe in you! You're doing spectacularly!
Hey Dottie;
Your question to me is a hard one. Remembering who I was back then, I didn't think I had a choice. I did what was presented to me, an opportunity to get a job then followed my nose.
In hindsight of course, things are different. I would've been a stay at home mum studying until my kids were grown. Uni was free back then, so maybe a masters in neuro-psychology would've been top of my list, then a doctorate in research. If I'd believed in myself then as I do now, the sky would've been the limit.
I think we're inspired by others, either past or present, which may encourage us to 'act'. But how many actually do? I truly believe the positive we see in people, is intrinsically within ourselves. Bringing that out into the open then inspires others; and so on it goes - paying it forward.
Famous events/people often get the acknowledgment. But there are many who inspire who aren't in the limelight. Look at ourselves for instance; by me surviving my life, then being on here while I'm still recovering to help members, I'm a living example of triumph over adversity. People may or may not be inspired by that, it's up to them.
Speaking of hindsight; I wouldn't have it any other way!
Stay amaze!
