3. Bigmammajen - Untitled

This photo of an old shed that has long outlived its functional use reminds us to look closer at what we may walk past every day and not notice or give a second thought to. It inspires us to think about the strength and beauty that can be found in what we neglect.

4. Ypierre - Many Inspirations!

Ypierre's perspective inspires us because she has chosen to view the "obstacles" life has put in her path as "opportunities" to strive towards greatness. The eternal optimism in this story motivates us to look at our our own "opportunities" with fresh enthusiasm.

5. Petenice - National_Happiness10.jpg

Kim Dodd's photo of two children sitting contently gives us a sense that they are wise beyond their years. We think about what poverty means - and when one is bonded to family, especially a brother or sister to share life's experiences - simple daily activities can be much richer. We are also inspired to see others comments who where motivated by this photo to spend less on their own desires and to look to help others.
