Indirect Inspiration

There are lots of people in my life who directly inspire me. My Grandma inspired me to college, my great aunt inspired me to go to college, a really good friend and mentor inspired me to not let certain people in my life affect my future. All these people and tons more have been a great inspiration in my life. We all have mentors, family, and friends that directly inspire us everyday, whether on purpose or accident, with an action and words, it happens all the time. What about those people who indirectly inspire us though? Those people that you don't really know, your role model celebrity, a motivational speaker, an author, or maybe an athlete. They are people who don't personally know us, but some have the goal of motivating and inspiring their fans. These are the people we forget about, the ones that don't directly inspire us. Of course they wouldn't know that we have acknowledged them. They don't know us, they don't follow us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. But most of them have a goal and that is to be an inspiration and role model.

So after that long "rant", I'm not going to say who inspires me out of the people I know personally, I'm going to give credit to one person who has inspired me to stick through the tough times even when things weren't going great for me. She did this just through making music to share  with her fans. Her own personal experiences helped me get through some of my own and her fight for herself encouraged me to "Stay Strong" even when I though that I couldn't. Demi Lovato has help me see that I should be confident with myself, no matter how I look and what kind of personality I have. I am no longer afraid of who I am or who I could become if I tried just a little harder.
