Last night, as I was thinking about what I would post about today I was feeling uninspired. I wasn't feeling very creative and I was drawing a blank. After a long holiday weekend you would think I would wake up with all kinds of creative thoughts ready to put pen to paper.

But... I had nothing.

Nothing until 11 o'clock PM when I was suddenly inspired by our local news who ran a story about amazing accomplishments and highlighted Jonathan Lester. You know who he is, right? I know are least 2 people reading this blog know who he is.
Jonathan Lester is a left-handed Boston Red Sox pitcher. His 2006 rookie season was cut short due to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. But, less than two years after being diagnosed with lymphoma, Lester pitched the final game of the 2007 World Series against Colorado and just last week he threw a no-hitter as Boston beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-0. He is the first Red Sox lefty to toss a no-hitter since Mel Parnell against the White Sox on July 14, 1956.
If that's not inspiring - I don't know what is. So I started to think about what inspires and motivates me. Although I am not pitching no hitters for a Major League Baseball team, I am raising two children who I hope will grow to accomplish amazing things just like John Lester. And that is what inspires and motivates me.

Good question. The way some people living their lives - doing what they love to do and loving what they do. The way some people passionate pursue their destiny. Anytime I meet these kind of people, I am inspired to keep on living and pursuing my desting. Your kids give you so much joy. Enjoy the childhood times, because you only get one chance to watch them grow up.
