Hello Roger,
This is an excellent topic very close to my heart and I know that it is yours too from seeing what you have to say in your posts over the years. There are other qualities I see in you which are inspiration for me.
I could say that all the people mentioned in here inspired me in some way, Starting from Tony Robins, Brian Tracy where I was shaping my financial world. Later there was John Paul II. Although most of you know him as a pope, for me his inspiration was on different level. He was my countryman and knowing that he represents my nation and that he builds up respect for us was what mattered.
Later in my live came totally different discoveries and so far these are my biggest inspirations to date. These were my kids and their growing up. There was a lot of questions about how and why. Finally it came questions about God and religion. This caused me to question my own understanding about it and look for explanations. I revisited university and took courses in philosophy. Studied bible many times back and forth and read books about spirituality. I never blamed my kids for moving away from believes we were teaching them from their birth, as I knew they they are refusing to accept the truths preached by those who every day themselves are breaking rules which they present as coming from God. I encouraged the discussion and learned from them. Together we have discovered that there are answerers and together we have started to see shapes emerging from the confusing and contradictory understanding presented by different teachers over the centuries and millenniums.
I wish you all, that you could learn from your children. Our children by being young, are much less affected by our surrounding and conditioning caused by the societies we live in, so their minds are more inquisitive and they are less afraid to show carriage and question the status quo.
