Book excerpt: Inspiration can be a powerful tool for your mind. Inspiration can aid in you achieving what you wish to achieve in life. Accidents happen and they do affect lives. This book tells the tale of how an accident has affected my life. Due to my accident and the changes my life has undergone, inspiration has been essential...a lifeline of sorts. Inspiration can have a negative side and that side of inspiration is examined a bit in this book, however positive aspects of inspiration are explored. People, events, and other aspects of life can inspire you. People that inspire me are discussed including family, friends, and famous household names. People, such as Ellen DeGeneres, Michael Strahan, and Barack Obama, are discussed. I want to thank everyone for the inspiration shared with or given to me, and hopefully I can share some of that inspiration through this book. Use your inspiration in any ways that are positive for life.
