BZZZZZ, BZZZZZ, BZZZZZ…….the alarm clock goes off.  It’s that time again!  You shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, maybe walk the dog and then off to work.  For some people, they jump out of bed and hit the floor running.  They can’t wait to start their day and seize all of the opportunities.  For others, every thought, every move, every conversation is a struggle.  They hope to just make it through the day so they can make it home and enjoy a few hours of television before they do it all again.  What causes this difference in people?  Why are some people so much more inspired than others?

Is it money, family, the type of job you have or the people you work with?  What inspires you each day to get up and go through your day?  What inspires you to be the absolute best you can be at work and advance your career as rapidly as you can?

Please don’t answer “I have to.”  That’s the easy answer.  Sure we all have bills we have to pay and we have to survive, but why do some people “survive and thrive” and others “survive to get by?”

Please comment on how you continue to inspire yourself each day, especially with some of the challenges this economy has brought to our companies and our careers?
