Who Do You Most Admire in Life?

Who do you most admire in life and why?
My maternal grandmother experienced a lot of unhappiness in life but she truly enjoyed life and more than any other adult in my life showed me how to live in the moment; to be happy in the moment and not put off happiness until things are perfect. And she was the first person to tell me I was a treasured person just for being a child in her life! She made me feel valued and loved just for being me and I do this with my children because of her.

My paternal grandmother was very mean and unhappy but one time when I was a little kid I wrote her a letter telling her about my school year and that I loved her. She kept that letter on her mantelpiece until she died. That taught me how a little kindness can have a profound affect on someone's life.

I also greatly admire Oprah because she is super-rich and uses her money for good and not evil like so many super-rich people do. And she is such a genuine, kind, happy person who truly experiences great happiness from giving to others. Before I had her as an example I thought that money would solve my problems and make me happy, but I learned from watching her over the years that money cannot solve or cure what ails you inside and it cannot bring you emotional peace or happiness. These things are what makes life beautiful and worth living and must come from within.
