You only live once?
FALSE!
You only die once.
You live every day.

InspireMe was founded by me Prince Ea. Born and raised on the North Side of St. Louis Missouri, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from a full scholarship at the University of Missouri St. Louis, with my BA in Anthropology. Over a decade ago, I was making music with grand ambitions of gaining respect, being named the best rapper of all time and performing in front of thousands of fans. This egoic pursuit caused a lot of suffering. I began to compare myself with other musicians that were "further along" than I was and this caused much internal pain.

The suffering and unhappiness was so much that I stopped making music and decided that I simply wanted to be happy. This is when I began to read ancient and modern texts on spirituality. I became enthralled in everything from the Baghavad Gita to the Tao te Ching. Through literature and introspection, I realized that "doing" will never make me happy, it is only in "being" where happiness and peace arises.

Another Huge Realization was of the limited number of breaths that each of us is to take on this planet. This realization of the brevity of life was what led me to create Inspire ME. I am grateful for every moment, every unrepeatable miracle, and while I am here I want to help the real-life heroes to reach every single heart on the planet to show them that at our core we are Love, we are free, and we are one.

InspireMe is unlike any other association in the world. This unique charity organization has sparked the imaginations of many people across the UK and around the globe. Inspire ME is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. We are building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world's most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at our events around the world, all year long.
