Instagram is one app that I cannot get enough of. If I’m not creeping on my friends’ photos or stalking one of my favorite influencers, then I’m finding people to inspire me to be better.
With so many people killing it, inspiration can come in all different shapes & sizes. Whether it’s someone who makes you laugh when you’re feeling down, a famous figure who provides motivation/education to achieve your goals, someone who encourages you to love yourself — the jar for positivity is often times overflowing if you choose to look for it.
Need a little positivity in your life? Following inspirational accounts on social media can be a great way to begin your day with a positive outlook. If you need a little extra help feeling inspired, here is a list of 8 accounts that inspire us:

Janelle
- Favorite account: @willsmith
