My grandma always told me, "You can't sit around on your laurels waiting for things to happen, you have to get up and make them happen!"
I think oprah is pretty inspirational
My friend Wendy! She has the best work ethic of anyone I know!

― Maya Angelou
I think there are so many great women that inspire me. Maya Angelou was so full of wisdom. I would have loved to hear her speak.
My maternal grandmother! She lived her life simply and mindfully! She raised 6 girls that turned out to be phenomenal women! My mom being the baby of the family. My grandmother always shared stories and quotes about her childhood to adulthood. I miss her immensely!
I love my mom, she has always seemed to have inspirational words when needed!
My grandmother had lots of health issues, but never gave up. She's been gone for over 15 years, but still inspires me to keep going.
I'm done accepting what I cannot change and am going to start changing what I can't accept.
I read Malala's book many years ago, and her strength and courage continue to inspire me.
My daughter inspires me because of her positive outlook.
I am inspired by Melinda Gates, a great American philanthropist
RBG!! She's so amazing.
My mom. She's the strongest woman I know.
Michelle Obama inspires me.
