Vern,
We all need motiviation. But all motivation don’t work for everyone. For whatever reason I have never responded much to the rah-rah motivation. As soon as the music is gone so are the effects.
I respond to sincere honest actions. I also don’t respond well to “look at me, look what I did” tam boon type motivation. It means more if done anonymously and not looking for public acknowledgement.

I respond to things like true stories of US immigrants coming ashore with nothing and build a successful life and business through hard work and persistence. I respond to obese candidates of “The Biggest Loser” driving beyond their perceived capabilities to transform their life and body.

Keep the true motivation coming.

Sometimes motivation comes when you don’t expect it. I remember I got a spam email, but at the bottom had a quote that almost had me in tears, and now I read it everyday!
For me, I like to play this Michael Jordan commercial, it gives me the tingles( I couldn’t think of a better word, ha) every time. Here’s the link

Hi Philip,

No worries – I enjoyed your site. That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Nick speak and it’s quite powerful.

Re: the Adidas link – it didn’t work in my computer (here in Thailand) so I left it out. I have a pop-up blocker and a slow connection most times. I’ll leave it in your comment though in case someone want’s to check it out.

Thanks for finding AFA – and hope to see you around more.

Thank you very much for mentioning my site. I am glad that the videos did motivate, and I am very happy to check out the ones that you found. I have come across Nick Vujicic’s video before. It is truly inspiring. It makes me wonder how I can let things bother me that are nowhere near as hard as what he goes through daily.

Here was the other link, I didn’t know if anyone would be interested.

Just make sure you allow the pop-up. It is a very flash heavy page, so it might not load well on slower connections.

Thanks again! Oh,
