Irene Mccormack's Life
To be inspiring means that you inspire others to either be as good as you or to do better because of you.”
Irene McCormack’s life is reflected in this quote because she herself was seen as a role model and an inspiration. She was seen by many people that knew and heard of her thinking that she was a real heroin to people who were less fortunate. Because of what she has done she has inspired many people to live up to her standard and as well as go beyond what she had done for others.

God’s already made it plain how to live, what to do, what he is looking for in men and women. It’s quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbour, be compassionate and loyal in your love; and don’t take yourself too seriously— take God seriously.” (Micah

    Influential people say things that make you think and to influence you to do better. Muhammad Ali inspired me to do better by saying, “I am the greatest. I said that even before I knew I was.” Clearly, he was trying to tell you not to get in the mindset of saying I am the worst, I can’t do this, or I'm going to fail. Inky Johnson inspired me to do better every day by saying, “The only person you try to do better than is the person you were yesterday.” Obviously, Ink Johnson is trying to tell you to do better no matter what even if you were amazing the day before. Carrie Fisher inspires me to try to do some funny or embarrassing things by saying,”If my life wasn’t funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.” Apparently, Carrie Fisher…

    4. In keeping with God’s plan, a person can take part of the democratic capitalistic society, but without becoming corrupted by it. A person keeping true to faith and prayer will be more capable of sympathy, of doing more for the good will, and of creating an abundance of good will (worth far more than its weight in gold). Keeping God in one’s heart will keep selfishness out.…

    Envy Vs. Anger

    In society today, envy and anger run rampant among people. Those with envy and anger show their hatred toward the world in many ways, including mass shootings and harming others both physically and mentally. Taking the lives of innocent people has become commonplace. In Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus describes the greatest commandment by stating, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” If one cannot love oneself, one will never be able to love their…

    Everyone needs to be inspired and having others inspire you can only have positive effects. Its one of life's win win things. By doing or saying things that inspire others we ourselves benefit, as we are giving rather than receiving, which as I see it, makes us all better people. Also, those we inspire benefit and hopefully go on to inspire others. It can only be good thing for society as a whole when we are inspired by others and we ourselves are an inspiration to others.…

    Inspiration is a complicated and complex emotions to break down for analysis. Inspiration makes you go beyond the definition of the words. It goes deeper than the eloquent tying of sentences, and the bad attempt at humor. Inspiration is a transcendent adventure which logically shouldn’t happen. I start off listening to a story and word by word it is less about the story but more about the relationship between my life and the speaker’s story. You start asking yourself; can I do it? What if that was me? What if I changed? And then you have this uplifting and urgent urge to work harder, be nicer, be better. The most inspiring stories and speakers are the ones that talk about failure. Growing up we learn that to make it in life you need to be nothing but successful.…

    How do we then apply this to our lives? One time I was sitting out on the soccer field with Mrs. Wertz, tired and wanting to run from my problems, and she reminded me of something that my youth pastor, Nick Rundlett, a football coach here, told me: “Don’t sacrifice what you want most for what you want in the moment.” That’s always stuck with me. Now, what does wanting God most look like, or rather, how do we get God? While salvation stems from God’s revelation of Himself to you- the story doesn’t end there. He calls us to be holy. (1 Peter 1:6) Faith and works go hand in hand. (James 2) You can tell a Christian by their fruit. (Matthew 7:16) What we want most is God, and while we have Him, and will assuredly have him fully one glorious day, we…

    Mother Teresa once said, "God is thirsting for our love. When we, from our own free will, surrender to his will, He will use us to be his instrument in this world, to let our love be His love for others. This can only be through continuous prayer. Then we will be: a pencil in God's hands." I think this quote plays an important part in the way we treat others everyday. It should always come to mind before we consider do something wrong to someone else. If we hurt someone else, we are also hurting God. Do we really want to hurt someone who love us so much that he would die for us? Mother Teresa knew how good it made God feel to see her do the great deeds she did and I believe this is what kept her going strong at it her whole life. This same feeling is what keeps me doing nice things for others everyday. Even though our world is…
