Fear Is Not The Enemy

Posted by Sean on September 16, 2010

But our greatest ally.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
- Marianne Williamson

I’ve read this poem many times, have seen it in many movies, and each time I get that tingle in the back of my throat.

Dare to be great

 

Are you inspired?

Are you motivated?

Be sure to keep that feeling.

Discovering that Money is NOT a Good motivator

Posted by Sean on June 5, 2010

Thanks to my great Twitter friend and fellow nurse Phil Baumann for sharing this insightful video about what motivates us at the workplace.

The video is a tad long, but well worth the information. It seems that research has shown money isn’t the motivation we thought it to be.

What motivates you?

What motivates you to read a blog?

I’d like to know why do you read someone’s blog?

What draws you in?

What keeps your attention?

How did you land on that blog’s page?

Was it by accident? Or are you visiting by a recommendation? Maybe a friend of a friend? Are they a fellow member of a group? Maybe a link from another blog you read?

I think we all have the same habits to our daily doses of internet informa-tude. Our ritual websites we visit, read, comment and browse through. We all probably have a custom home page we created to accommodate all of our many tastes & interests.

I’m curious to learn what is it that grabs your attention? Does the title of the blog matter?
