At conferences, seminars, annual meetings, management and staff development - there are always people, groups and individuals that are brought in to motivate and encourage us with their passion and influence. Sometimes they are successful and other times they are not. Their success or lack of could be because of the culture, the environment, etc.
In daily interactions our routines show how close or far we are in relation to people. We show what motivates us by what we do and how we act.
Every day, maybe subconsciously, we look for others to constantly motivate us and those around us.
Maybe we have it wrong. Maybe we should be our own motivation. Maybe we should be the catalyst to motivate others. Maybe…
It takes a little. It takes a lot. But whatever little or a lot it takes, it starts with the individual.

I can do anything good.
