Success and prosperity are the outcomes people desire from working hard. Working hard comes from motivation, and motivation comes from being inspired. Being inspired is how goals are achieved, and how fears are conquered. It is a motivational factor that helps individuals strive towards success. People experience inspiration from encountering hardships and obstacles to prove to themselves they are intelligent enough to overcome other situations that may come their way. Others may be inspired by looking up to their idols and wanting to achieve similar successes as them. Inspiration can cause people to take risks and try out different tactics in order to be successful. Life will have many suffering situations that individuals will have to face; but it depends on how the person will prioritize their goal and to what extent the individual will go to achieve them. Inspired individuals facing poverty and major struggles will strive for achievement by taking the journey to success, regardless of how dangerous the pathway may be, resulting in the desired goal being attained. 

When individuals are going through hardship but are still longing for successful results, they will proceed to keep trying. Inspiration is a self motivator that many people use to have triumphant outcomes, which is why these individuals have the tendency to struggle in life first, then live life in joy after. The people that have very little are the most inspired, yet are the ones living in poverty. These individuals have the most insight because they do not demand more, nor are they greedy; whatever is already provided to them is what they use in order to fulfill their desires. The photograph provided depicts how the less fortunate still manage to maintain joy and are still striving to achieve their goals. The photograph has three children on two different objects joined as one, crossing a river to get to school in the Philippines. These young children are thriving to get to school by taking dangerous pathways in order to have a set future. They are not wearing any safety wear to prevent them from harm’s way, their mindset is just on getting to school regardless of what may happen. From their facial expressions, they do not look fearful or worried, and this may be because they have been doing this for a long period of time. Them not using a boat or a different source of transportation indicates that they are not wealthy and are living a dangerous life. They are trying to reach their goals by inventive thinking, and whether the idea is dangerous or not, they are still striving for success because of what they set their priority as and how inspired they truly are. Everyone has the potential to achieve anything, but the only way this will happen is how much the goal is prioritized. Regardless of what resources people are provided with, they can reach success by effort and creative thinking. 

When there are circumstances that are not easy to handle, giving up or saving it for another day is what many people say and use as an excuse to not doing it. If the person is serious about being successful, the individual will do whatever it takes to make the goal become a reality, and not a dream. I can personally relate to this because I have experienced my little cousin losing her mother in a very tragic car accident. She was always wanting to get nineties in all her academic courses and when she really set her mind to it, she had lost her mother. This caused her trauma and depression which led to grades lower than her goal. When she realized there is nothing to do to bring her mother back, and realized how failing her courses would lead to more issues like a dead end future, she decided to get her head back into the game. She was still in a traumatic state of mind, but still strived for success because she was inspired by her mother when she was alive to do so, like the three children are doing in the photograph. Even though the children in the photograph are in a very dangerous and tragic situation, they are still striving for success. My cousin is still recovering from this devastation, but is not letting her desires be defeated, because she knows her mother would want her to still keep trying. Life has cruel ways of making people realize what to prioritize and how to do so, but the outcomes will be more benefitting and joyful to experience in the future if people work hard now. 

Life has many situations that involve trauma and destitution, but if the individual is inspired and motivated enough to achieve success, they will. Everyone will face devastating situations, but being strong and putting yourself first will result in joy in the future, even if you are struggling right now. Life has many things planned ahead, if people keep their eyes on the ball, they will have victorious outcomes to celebrate.
