Probably finding other people out there who were living lives that inspired us.  When you see or meet or read about enough people choosing to try to do with their lives what they want to do, and keeping going, even after setbacks, it makes a person think maybe you can do it too.

It helps to have big dreams, but to be able to handle when things don’t go the way you planned for them to.  And by big dreams, we don’t mean, like conquering the world or selling records or anything like that.  It’s more like dreaming of feeling free, being able to get by with just a little money so we can spend our time doing what we are passionate about, and trying to be appreciative of the beauty around us.

It did take a while of looking and figuring out before we knew what it was we wanted to do with (at least this part) of our lives, though.  There were some really sad and confusing times along the way.  But conquering fears is really some of the best fun.
