I find myself much more inspired by history and current events rather than anything personal.
Actually, that's not quite right, history and current events tends to inspire the 'big picture' of the story, the setting, the background details, the themes, the sorts of things that are supposed to give stories a feeling of depth. Personal stuff inspires the details, the characters and the emotions. Well, tends to really, but if it really came down to picking one or the other for primary inspiration, I'd probably have to give it to history. History is full of so many wondrous and terrible events, events that we can learn from, events that are relevant still today, and events that continue to affect us. History has tragedy, love, loss, life, heroes, villains, winners, losers, fools, and geniuses aplenty. What more could you ask for for inspiration?
