Day 12: Real Motivation

I'm taking a major cop out on the Day 12 post and putting in a video.  On January 6, I heard Lt. Col. Mark Weber on the KFAN morning show.  Lt. Col. Weber is a decorated soldier who was diagnosed with terminal cancer.  The man was inspirational, funny, and moving, and his story left an imprint on me.  Lt. Col. Weber was on the Power Trip show again this morning, and again I found myself laughing through tears and really taking a hard look at my attitude toward life.  If you'd like to hear his original interview, it is Podcast-able (again, Monday, January 6th Power Trip Morning Show on KFAN).  Today's interview can be heard at:

Mark's personal website with information about finding his book is here (based on hearing him tell his own story on the radio, I think I'm going to invest in his audiobook so I can hear his story in his own voice):

And finally, here's a video of him giving one of his motivational speeches about living with purpose.  I know it is a half hour long, but I think it is worth a view.

In case I haven't told you, I really appreciate each and everyone of you joining me on the quest to make our lives a little more enjoyable.  I had my first person outside the group ask me today how he could get involved, and I was pretty touched.  Let's keep living with purpose together.
