Here's some motivation for you to persevere and find your true potential!
When have you done more than you thought you could? What challenges do you have coming up?
Here's a little motivation to get your weekend started!
Here's a short story about how your choices determine who you are:
The two wolves
A Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?" The grandfather answered: "The one I feed."
Earl Nightingale summarized it best when he said, "We are what we think about." Make a decision today to feed the right wolf.
Here's a video from Robin Crow, author of Rock Solid Leadership. While I would love to tell you more about Robin, I think this video says it all. Enjoy!
"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."
-Albert Einstein
I hope that you've had enough time to consider the candle problem. If you haven't already figured it out, watched the video (or Googled the answer), here's a picture that might help you find the solution:
Michael McMillan, in his book Pink Bat, takes a novel approach to solving the various "Candle Problems" by telling a story from his youth. He weaves a story about how his friends altered the game of baseball to fit their limited space and limited resources (they didn't have a real bat or ball, and had to improvise). If you're looking for a motivating book about how problem can turn into solutions, check out Michael's book.
So, as an informal poll, what helped you turn the corner and solve the problem? How can this apply to your life?
