Where does your inspiration come from?

I've been thinking a lot about what gives people inspiration. What makes you pursue your dreams, loves, talents? How do you discover what you love? These are the things that give me inspiration:

1. Reading a good book--preferably one by Torey Hayden, Donald Miller or something about Jim Elliot's life as a missionary.

Speaking of blue like jazz, have you seen the trailer to the movie yet??

2. A cup of chai tea, preferably at Boston's, with a good friend.

3. Bike riding, laying around....just being with friends...

4. Reading blogs, really about anything. I could sit around and do that all day. Nerd, I know.

5. Being around children with Autism/disabilites. I feel that once you know what your purpose is, you feel empty when you're away from it.

6. Capernaum.

7. Pandora. Favorite stations: Modest Mouse, Explosions in the sky, Ron Pope, Gavin DeGraw & The Rocket Summer
