Self explanatory really. This is for those famous, and infamous celebrities whom I consider have been positive, motivational role models in my world. Below I will explain why in some cases.

Robin Williams – sadly missed genius of comedy and mimic. Played impressive serious acting roles as well as acting the clown. Always entertaining.

Peter Jackson – achieved the impossible by bringing the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Hobbit books to life so impressively.

Sigourney Weaver

Rannolph Fiennes

Stephen Hawkins – genius of Space, and the complete example for me of never judging a book by its cover.

Mo Mowlam

Annie Lennox

Russell Howard’s Good News

Blackadder – yeh ok fictitious but fun

Ridley Scott

Steven Spielberg – changed the way I viewed films and knows how to play on your heart strings where love and children are concerned

Richard Branson

Nelson Mandela – inspirational figure to millions, whether as an individual or leader of his country. Carried with such humility too.

Tanny Grey Thompson

Daley Thompson

Steve Redgrave and Matthew Pinsent – sporting achievers of the highest order for me.

Chris Hadfield – Astronaut

All paralympians and armed forces veterans (from World Wars and also recent conflicts and events like Invictus Games)

Olympic Games competitors – both Winter and Summer

Salvador Dali – probably my most obscure choice. Intriguing nonetheless. Every picture contains so much to take in and doesn’t seem to stop either.

Bryan Adams

Ray Mears

Antonio Gaudi – never realised the impact of this man until I went on a visit to Barcelona. Certainly a man way ahead of his time in architecture and art. Very impressive.

Local volunteers

Nurses and Emergency services

Armed Forces

And many more….some very good close friends and relatives.

Have a think of who motivates you and why….some of the most humblest humans can be the most inspirational in your life, so take a look around and understand what drives such people. You might be surprised with the findings….
