STTA: True Motivation

STTA = "Something to Think About"

Here's something I read in the January 2009 issue of Bit's & Pieces on Leadership. This is valuable food for thought for anyone whose business is to motivate others.

No one is inspired by the negative. The problem is not lack of awareness, it's lack of inspiration. Most people are not stupid. They know that there are huge changes going on in the world. My job is to inspire them, to get them to believe that the journey is possible and worth the effort, by showing them small achievable steps.
