“People always make time to do the things they really want to do.”
Stephen Lafond

How creative do we become when we really want to do something? It is too bad we are not as motivated when we have to do something. Then again we are extremely motivated when we must.
So is it possible that only intense desire and extreme fear are the most effective motivators?
In the middle, aren’t we just bored?
What do you think?

“Joy is not in things, it is in us!”
Benjamin Franklin
____________________________________________________________________________________
In our consumer society, we are bombarded everyday with advertisements that try to persuade us that we need a certain new toy to be happy.
And once we get the new house, new car, new boat, new clothes …will it really make us happy?
And for how long?
Benjamin Franklin wrote this quote more than 250 years ago before the advent of the consumer society.
I believe he was right. Joy has to be from inside us.
Where does your joy come from?
