I read somewhere that "Inspirations are deeply rooted in our everyday experience," and I believe it's very true.
No big things and goals but every small moment of life is what pushes me and inspires me.
More specifically, I would say, My family, the people, and the things around me inspire me the most. They are the reason I keep going.
However, I know this answer might sound generic so I'm gonna elaborate a little further.
My children, my life partner, my extended family, my parents, my culture and tradition everything has a great part in shaping my life. There's no way I can leave behind anything but my life is about everything.
So when it comes to inspiration, I would say, the hardship we all faced together, the life experiences I have shared with them, and the resilience I have learned over the year is what motivates me to go forward.
If I have to say more specifically, then it would be my family first who inspires me the most; then my surroundings.
For the past few years, we have been struggling financially. After the pandemic, we didn't financially recover very well and are still in debt. Our lifestyle changed, we had to cut off/down so many things from life to survive. It changed us who we are!
During this whole time, I learned, how much family bond is important. Every family member of us became close to solving these problems. We became too resilient and strong.

In between these struggling days, there were small things, little happiness that made us keep going. It was never something big or any huge achievement but this small happiness is what inspires me.
The encouragement I got from my life partner is another thing I need to appreciate more. Even in any small hardship like not getting the bus on time, he was there to make a solution for me or give me the courage to find out the solutions. That's the inspiration I needed.
The people around me, and the surprises are what motivate me to be a better person every day, to add something so I can make a difference. It's their word, their support, their presence that inspires me every day.

There's no single thing but a thousand ones that inspire me. There's no big thing but every positive thing that motivates me in my journey. If I make a list then my family would be on the top tier, and the small things in life would be the second. But it's everything, the learning they give me to stay grounded and appreciate the things I have, and to do better is what inspires me.
Thanks to
@saffisara for such an amazing question, it made me take the time to think about my life and be more appreciative.
