I often think about why I continue things or even why I get out of the house every day. Here’s some of my inspiration to keep me going each day:
-My future with wanting a house and family of my own
-My boyfriend and having my eyes on our future
-My family
-Knowing that I can support people who are trying to maintain positive
-My bills because I need to pay them 😉
-My love and heart tell me that getting out is good for me
-My desire to be around people
-My passion
What gets you up and out of bed each day?

4). Wanting to be social
5). Having to pay bills
6). Liking the positive change and impact I have on others
7). My family
8). My boyfriend
9). My like of eating out 🙂
