The things that we love tell us what we are.
If my writing comes to a halt, I head to the shops: I find them very inspirational. And if I get into real trouble with my plot, I go out for a pizza with my husband.
I always start my day with two things that really ground me. One is a book of daily inspirational readings called 'The Book of Awakening.' Basically, it talks about having the life you want and being present in the life you have. I also write three things I'm grateful for in a gratitude journal.
If you look at a building by Mies van der Rohe, it might look very simple, but up close, the sheer quality of construction, materials and thought are inspirational.
Reach for it. Push yourself as far as you can.
I wanted to write a book about what it's like to be 50 and trying to reinvent yourself - that struggle. There are all these books and inspirational speakers talking about being a lifelong learner, and it's so great to reinvent yourself, the brand of you. And I wanted to say, you know, it's not like that. It's actually really painful.
I'm not doing what I do to prove what a woman is capable of. I'm not doing what I do to make Formula E more diverse. I'm doing what I do to be successful. If that's inspirational, then great.
Hopefully, when people see 'Senna', they will understand why this inspirational story needed to be told, why it had to be made as a movie for the big screen, and why it is a film for everyone.
Keep your feet on the ground, but let your heart soar as high as it will. Refuse to be average or to surrender to the chill of your spiritual environment.
Like the United Nations, there is something inspirational about New York as a great melting pot of different cultures and traditions. And if this is the city that never sleeps, the United Nations works tirelessly, around the clock around the world.
Don't say I was an inspirational teacher - my former pupils would laugh their heads off. I was grossly incompetent, but I hope I didn't do the children a disservice.
I think it's great that you have inspirational female roles, that it's not just the pretty girl on the arm of a man.
The hymn 'Amazing Grace' is so inspirational - I wish I'd written it.
A film like 'Dangal' is universal; though it narrates a story that happened in Punjab/Haryana, we like its inspirational story and its idea of celebrating the girl child.
For years, I've worn my dainty gold bracelets with inspirational sayings and encouraging one-liners to motivate me in my career. I liked to look down at my wrist and be reminded of my goals.
From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.
Give light and people will find the way.
Rap music's been around for too long now to be inspirational. The words are, but the music isn't.
Be brave enough to live life creatively. The creative place where no one else has ever been.
The 'Dezeen's of this world are extremely inspirational but have no realistic dimension any more.
From its brilliancy everything is illuminated.
Inspirational content really resonates, like how to raise venture capital.
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Every story I create, creates me. I write to create myself.
'All in With Laila Ali' is educational, inspirational, compelling programming profiling individuals that have reached for the sky, pushed themselves to the limit and did things that you would think were impossible.
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.
I'm not an inspirational quote kind of person.
My initial goal for the 1984 opening ceremonies was a show that would be majestic, inspirational, and emotional - a 20 goosebump experience.
I think the end goal, hopefully, is to take advantage of the attention I've gotten along the way and use it for good and build some communities, and as I get older I can continue to do things and be surrounded by things that are inspirational to me.
My tastes and inspirational artists were always rather eclectic and diverse.
