Motivational speakers are pretty awesome.

Even if that's not specifically their game. I've been enjoying one particular speaker lately that talks about leadership and motivations more than talking about anything specifically motivational. His ideas are so clear and resonant to me that they motivate me by their very nature. His presentation is something I would aspire to emulate in my own way. Some of what I do in my writing here should, if I am doing it even a little bit right, also serve to enlighten/uplift/inspire/encourage in some way or another. Not that everything I write even can serve that purpose... but I do hope that it can serve others in ways similar to how it(whatever concepts I have enjoyed along the way) has served me. I learn and share what I learn openly. I am lucky it is something I enjoy... and, perhaps, luckier that I enjoy the act of communicating(in this case, writing) as much as I do. What good would any of it do anybody other than me if I just kept it all bottled up in my head?
