Inspiring stories

There are days when life just seems to so blah...
I feel like I need to do something different, I don't know what yet.
I went looking for inspiration and came across some inspiring stories...
some of them moved me to tears. One speaker said "when all your basic needs are met and you feel like..."contribute to a course that's larger than yourself".
