be inspired by someone you know-

Last week copies of my father-in-law's long awaited first novel arrived, and he had his very first book signing event this past weekend.

For him this novel was a bit of a personal "tour-de-force." Seeing it come to be is an inspiration for me.

It is easy enough for anyone to talk about doing something or even begin any type of self-defining effort. Being able to live a passion strongly enough to see your efforts through- despite all personal struggles, the obstacles of life, moments of self-doubt, the sneers and questioning from one's peers- this is the mark of a special type of individual.

Bringing your dreams to life- this is a leadership quality.
