Initially, we take our cues from our parents.
They become the original source of our learning and motivation.
 
As we grow, we tend to wean away from that parental guidance.
Instead, we look outward.
 
Perhaps a teacher had a significant influence on you.
Or maybe it was someone you knew or met on the internet.
 
All that is normal, of course. 
From them, we craft our personal values, our dreams.
 
Yet, in the process, many have lost track of what drives us.
 
As important as the food we eat or the air we breathe,
We need that regular jolt of inspiration to draw out our best.
 
A wealth of insights – some of it buried beneath humor –
Is readily available for our benefit.
 
Whatever motivates you in a positive direction,
Whatever gives meaning to your life,
Regularly tap into that resource today to craft a better you tomorrow.
 
Yours in achieving your personal best, Tom
