Motivational & Inspirational Stories: A Little Perspective for the New Year

In preparation for closing out the year that was 2007, and clearing the path for an anticipated terrific 2008 – I was searching for the most appropriate nugget of wisdom I could pass on to help get the year off to the best start. What inspired message would be most beneficial for building the kind of foundation we would need to begin to make 2008 your year… and mine too?

Then I came across one of my inspirational stories (which, by the way, is featured in “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential”) – and upon a quick reread, I decided this should be the message. Why… Simply because I’m just wondering how many opportunities collectively we missed out on in 2007 simply because our perspectives weren’t open… because our paradigms and mind sets were limiting – and how much better 2007 could have been… Don’t get me wrong – 2007 was a pretty good year! But, how much more rewarding, happy and fulfilling could it have been?

Well, the simple fact is if we want 2008 to be the best year it can possibly be, we’ve got to maximize our options. And if we are going to maximize our options, we absolutely have to be open to all of the opportunities that come our way… in whatever shape, color or form they come in. If we can develop and maintain that perspective and approach throughout 2008, while every choice will not pan out, we’ll certainly be taking the necessary steps to stack the odds in our respective favors. And when the odds are stacked in our favor… how can 2008 be anything else but a great year? I know that’s my plan anyway. Enjoy…

I Didn't Find What I Was Looking For...

I didn't find what I was looking for... Those were the only words that comprised a recently received E-mail concerning SomethingToShare.com. Despite the diverse offering of inspirational material, and the extremely low cost of admission - it's peculiar that a tiny population of visitors have nothing to offer except negativity. Typically these individuals, armed with merely a quick visit to one of the many areas offered on the site and minimal comprehension - are perfectly eager to pass uninformed judgment.

I remember the initial 'I didn't find what I was looking for' response, temporarily at least, invoked feelings of shock and confusion. Shortly thereafter however, I reasoned that being overly concerned with the tainted views of the few only served to devalue the heartfelt thoughts and praises of our many inspired visitors. And frankly, that wasn't an acceptable option. Attempting to gain some perspective on the most recent E-mail and how such a negative thought process is rendered however, a somewhat surprising realization occurred.

First the background... A few months back, I heard a Motivational Speaker tell a story about a visit to the East Coast. Upon meeting a woman familiar with his work, he found himself in a friendly conversation. The woman, asked whether he found West Coast neighbors to be friendly. His response was "Well, I don't know... do you find people friendly on the East Coast?" "People here are terrific", replied the woman - "neighbors look out for each other, people are generally pleasant, it's a good place to live." To which the motivational speaker offered - "that's about what you would find on the West Coast."

Later that day, he found himself in a similar discussion with another woman curious about his perspective. When asked whether he found California people to be friendlier than people on the East Coast - he asked whether she found East Coast people friendly. "No, not really... people here don't seem to have much interest in each other... they don't talk much... they don't seem to have much to do with each other", she replied. "That's about what you'll find on the West Coast", the Motivational Speaker indicated.

How could his answer to both women be the same? To answer that question, we should first examine how two women, living in the same area, have completely opposite perspectives about their immediate environment. Could it be that their perceptions have little to do with the environment itself - and much to do with the perspective of each of the individuals?

In the end, ultimately what life offers us is mostly influenced by what we are looking for... Be friendly and open yourself up to people - and they will be more likely to open up to you. Believe you are going to have a good day - and you greatly increase the probability you will. Look for the good in someone or something - and that's exactly what you will most often find.

Thus, as our perspectives are most often a reflection of our paradigms, I realized the author of the E-mail was in fact incorrect. In reality, he or she had found exactly what they were looking for - just as numerous positive individuals have, prompting such inspired testimonials about the site. The site content didn't change... just what people happen to be visiting it.

Essentially every day, and every situation, is ultimately a garbage in - garbage out scenario. What you get out of it is directly dependent on what you put in to it, psychologically... physically... spiritually. Thus, when the dust settles, the real message is inspiration can come, but only to those who would be inspired - others will find only words.

And as each moment is what we make of it, I am going to forget about the one, focus on the many, conclude this article and enjoy the rest of my day.

Be inspired...

Here’s hoping you will be looking for the right things when you find them in 2008…

Thanks for the time spent supporting this motivational and inspirational blog in 2007. And don’t forget to share the inspiration with friends and loved ones.

Talk to you next year.

Inspirational Book by D Anthony

About A Motivational & Inspirational Book: The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once – What it is…

“The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential” is an inspirational book that fundamentally challenges us to begin to optimize the way we see ourselves - and how we perceive and interpret the events that happen in our lives, and the world around us. When we can begin to live our lives this way, we maximize our opportunities, our decisions and our ultimate outcomes. In other words, while there are no guarantees in life, we can most certainly via our respective perspectives, attitudes and choices begin to considerably increase our odds of success – and eventually even learn to actually stack life’s proverbial deck in our favor.

Frank and engaging life stories, poems and quotes are utilized to offer insight and a liberating brand of perspective to the reader fostering a real potential for greater direction, motivation, inspiration, happiness and fulfillment in your life.

Chapters such as 'Born To Lead', 'Perspective, It's Here Somewhere', ‘Playing With Passion’, 'Eventually, Death Visits Us All' and 'And Faith Ensues', provide the underlying structure for the wonderfully reflective, stimulating and uplifting collection of stories and perspectives shared in the book. Individually, the stories and perspectives will take you on a mental, spiritual and emotional journey – sometimes touching you, sometimes challenging you, sometimes daring you to believe. However, when considered with an open heart and mind collectively, the stories and perspectives can comprise a powerful and invaluable tool;

ü for permanently lifting your spirits

ü for dismantling toxic and limiting thoughts

ü for fortifying your faith

ü for finding intended purpose

ü for the empowerment of your dreams

ü for appreciating the meaning of the past

ü for continuously willing yourself forward

ü for helping true happiness and fulfillment to reign

I believe you will find this motivational and inspirational book a refreshingly atypical approach to increasing awareness, growth, appreciation and passion in, and for, life.

But, you don’t have to just take my word for it… Click here to visit Amazon.com to see some of the inspiring reviews received thus far. Then, if you’re ready to begin taking steps to make 2008 a different kind of year, order the book for yourself and/or a loved one. And enjoy…

Each day, be inspired – then aspire to more…

Talk to you soon.

Motivational & Inspirational Stories: A Message For The Season

I originally wrote the following in March of 2000, however it’s a great message for the season – and it’s just as relevant and accurate now as it was at the turn of the century. Besides… inspiration never gets old. Enjoy…

A Little Faith

A recent newspaper article featured a story about a New Mexico mother who, last Christmas Eve, after being in a catatonic state for sixteen years, suddenly regained her consciousness - suddenly awoke to her loving awaiting family. As it turns out, she stopped breathing after suffering a blood clot in her lung during a Caesarian section. After resuscitation, doctors determined that brain damage had resulted from the lack of oxygen. This caused her to slip into a catatonic state - where she remained for well over a decade with no sign of communication. Yet on the Eve of Christmas, with no rhyme or reason, she blurted out to the attending nurse - "Don't do that". Since that incredible day she has been slowly but surely re-familiarizing herself with life again - getting to know her children… getting to know her friends… getting to know herself.

Two things struck me about this story. Most obvious of course, is the fact that the mother's sudden return after all these years is nothing short of miraculous. Every once in a while we are presented with a sign that there is something majestic out there… that our lives have meaning far beyond anything we can comprehend… Impressive too was the love and faith of her family... a family that refused to give up - or give in. A family that said no matter how long it takes, no matter the pain - we'll be there for you … we'll wait for you. This is the stuff that miracles are made of… proof that a lot of love and a little faith can go a long way.

A little something to think about the next time it seems like the deck has been stacked against you. Have faith, be inspired and don’t give up. Life isn’t done with you yet…

Talk to you soon.

About A Motivational & Inspirational Book: The Gift of Inspiration

Here’s a thought… Now that all your Christmas shopping is all wrapped up (or more accurately unwrapped), the Yuletide spirit is beginning to wane and most houseguests have made their respective ways in the direction of home – perhaps it’s time you do something special for you… a bit of a reward, of sorts, for all the generosity and goodwill you’ve shown.

Alternately, perhaps there is an individual or two who, through noteworthy sentiment or deed, exhibited the kind of unadulterated spirit of the season that warmed the heart and made this holiday season so memorable and spiritually fulfilling. Imagine the feelings of joy and appreciation that would result from the unexpected presentation of a token of your heartfelt gratitude.

If either scenario rings true or otherwise sounds like a worthwhile objective, then perhaps you should consider giving one of the best gifts of all… the gift of inspiration. For it is the gift that offers incremental benefit, each and every day... For example, if the chosen gift was an inspirational book with motivational stories and inspirational poems such as “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential”, a loved one or yourself could read a new passage or two daily… taking the time to fully absorb each passage for all it is worth… taking the time to let the perspective take you wherever, on that day, your mind and heart needed to go. Or, if your preference is for something of a more presentational manner, something to be proudly displayed and admired every day, the SomethingToShare Inspirational Plaques might be worth a look.

So, as the so-called season for giving begins to wane, consider presenting yourself and/or a loved one with the optimal gift - the gift of inspiration. After all, it is the gift that will keep giving. And there’s absolutely no better way to create the positive momentum necessary to give 2008 the early makings of a great year.

Happy New Year to you and yours!

Inspirational Book by D Anthony

About A Motivational & Inspirational Book: What’s In A Name?

“The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once”, at first glance, probably sounds a little unorthodox as a title for a Self-help book. Which stands to reason since the book is pretty unorthodox in itself. You see the book is an inspirational book. And it is also a motivational book. So, when people ask me (paraphrasing of course) whether the book is inspirational from the standpoint of motivating readers to take charge of their lives, to overcome obstacles, to achieve and aspire to more and/or to become personally more confident, committed, focused and fulfilled… or is it inspirational from the standpoint of inspiring readers to fortify their faith in the Almighty, to find inner peace, to have greater spiritual awareness, to better understand self and one’s potential impact in the time we have and/or to become more Zen-inspired, finding the optimal balance between the internal and external – invariably my answer is yes.

In effect, the book is about life – and the balance necessary for us all to become more inspirational and motivational in the way we see ourselves, circumstances and events – and in the way we most often approach and respond to others. Ultimately the book is about the incredible potential for improvements we have the capability to make within our lives, on a day to day basis, to make today better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today… and developing the kind of enhanced perspective and attitude that fosters better decisions, better outcomes and enhanced happiness and fulfillment. And that most certainly makes “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help Unlock Your Amazing Potential” a pretty unorthodox inspirational book.

Taking us right back to the title itself… “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once”, as the first inspirational story in the book so colorfully lays out, represents the very first time in life that, for no apparent reason, and no apparent warning – life hits, slaps or kicks you. However, more importantly, what the story and this inspirational book as a whole emphasizes is - What are you ‘gonna do now?

I’ll give you a hint. If you want to be the most effective… if you want to have some stake, and more critically, some influence of the path and direction the future takes… it begins with perspective and attitude, and ends with better decisions, and thus, better outcomes. It starts with instituting the mind set and behaviors that will have you first look up – then begin to get up. After all, the nurse in the delivery room may have slapped me… but it was only once.

So, would you like to begin to institute the kind of perspective and real change in your life that can help you begin to see both yourself and the world around you in a new way that fosters considerably more opportunity and meaning? Well, have I got a motivational and inspirational book for you…

Each day, be inspired – then aspire to more…

Talk to you soon.

Motivational & Inspirational Stories: The Gift

With the holiday now upon us, I’ve reached into the D Anthony vault in order to share another personal holiday treasure… one more of the passages I composed some years back;

The Gift of Christmas

As a child I loved the idea of Christmas

All the decorations and lights on the tree

But what the day was really about

Was the multitude of gifts given to me

I remember the words of my mother

A philosophy with which I could not agree

She said joy came from giving not receiving

That the meaning of the season was charity

Years have passed, understanding is clearer

Caring for friends and family I’ve come to see

Christmas isn’t about the decoration and lights

But about love inspired gifts that come from me

And on this December 25^th, I can honestly say I know, with more certainty than ever before, that I am truly blessed. In part, because of the way events overall panned out… But even more, I believe, because of the perspective and attitude I’ve created and continuously strive to maintain, and the resulting decisions - this turned out to be a pretty incredible year. And because I wholeheartedly expect to continue to foster a mentality and existence empowered with passion, motivation, inspiration and the unquenchable need to aspire to more, there’s no reason to suspect anything less from the year to come.

And so this is the gift… the empowerment that comes with an uplifting perspective and enhanced attitude - leading to better decisions, more opportunistic outcomes, a better you and a better world, day by day… that I want to pass along to anyone who has a desire to improve. This is the gift that I want to pass on to everyone who wants to improve their lives… begin to identify their intended destinies… to begin to see the purpose and potential that is ours to grasp and utilize to improve and get the most out of each and every waking day.

So, I ask you… What if your time in this place was intended to be more inspirational, more purposeful, happier and more fulfilled? What if the power to make it so, by in large, could be in your hands? What if? Wouldn’t that have the potential to be just about the greatest gift of all?

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza and Happy Holidays… Be blessed, a little happier and a little more fulfilled this day - and the world will most definitely be a better place…

Motivational & Inspirational Stories: The Christmas Spirit

Well, it has finally hit me. I woke up yesterday morning and decided it was time to break out the Christmas music. Okay… I know it’s a little late in the season for most - but what can I say? The Christmas Spirit hits… when it hits.

Perhaps, for me, it’s my very own personal psychological backlash on behalf of the unabashed, over-the-top mass commercialism, outlandish spending and the apparent lack of recognition for the true meaning of the season. Don’t mind me however. I guess my real problem is I’m just a tad bit nostalgic for the way things used to be - the caring… the tradition… the generosity… the authenticity… the goodwill… the sense of family, neighborliness and friendship… the wonder… the fascination… the timelessness… the simplicity… the love…

Or perhaps it’s simply my ever ascending age giving way to eternally flawed memories. I’d be willing to wager a little though, that some truth lies in my longing desire for the past. For instance, I can remember the Christmas many, many years ago when all I wanted was a Slinky. It was all I asked my parents for – and, largely ignoring other toys, all that I played with for the bulk of the day. Boy, I certainly went up and down the steps a few times that day. Somehow though, I have difficulty envisioning that happening with the kids, and the kind of gifts expected, today.

Just the same… The Christmas Spirit is upon me. And in a few hours, when I head out to finish up my shopping – perhaps I’ll come across an occasion or two to, through some simple and charitable deed, do my part to remind a few other last minute shoppers of what the Christmas season used to be all about.

And for those of you reading this who do celebrate the season – I dug up one of my earlier passages on the topic. Take a few seconds and consider the following… what Christmas is, what it was - and what we truly want it to be about…

This Holiday Season …

We celebrate the birth of the Son

The revival of our spirit for giving

The rejuvenation of love for mankind

And the rekindled essence of living

We give thanks for the blessings bestowed

For friends and family, whose love we hold dear

For health, physical, emotional and spiritual

And economic stability throughout the year

In that Spirit let’s pledge the gift of kindness

On behalf of someone not otherwise known

Inspired with the love signified by the birth

An act where the real spirit of Christmas is shown

Merry Christmas!

And the world will be a better place…

I Don't Have Time

I Don't Have Time

 

I would suppose  that time is the one thing that we all battle against.  We never seem to have enough time to do the things that need to be done.  There are 24 hours in every day that we walk the planet.  Within those 24 hours, are precious reminders that we are running out of time.  We can seem to find the time to make excuses about not having enough time, but in all acutality, we really do have the time, we just don't make the time.

 

In dealing with all types of people on the internet, there seems to be a common thread amongst them all.  They talk about wanting to start an online business of some kind.  The spend hundreds and thousands of dollars in the pursuance of this idea, but in all actuality, have they really explored the core of the program, and are they willing to do whatever is necessary to build this business?  I would wholeheartedly answer no.  I will give you my reasons for this below.  They seem to struggle and strain with the time factor.  When I ask them this question, "so what have you done today to build your business on Google?"  Their answer is most likely, well, I really didn't have time to write the article like I know that I should have.  I really did not have time to work on learning all that I could learn about the program I am trying to promote.  I really did not have the time to learn the necessary things that I need to make money online.

 

Interesting points to be made here.  We all have NO time, but in fact, we have ALL the time that we need in any given day to pursue whatever we want to pursue.  How long does it really take to write a small keyword specific article about your program?  How long does it take to pull up your webpage and really dig deep into the product or service that you are promoting?  How long does it take to actually learn to become an internet professional?

 

The answer to these questions is simple.  It takes as long as it takes.  If you think that you don't have the time to learn, youi won't.  If you think that you don't have the time to write, you won't.  If you think that you don't have the time to become an expert in your online business, then you certainly will not have the success that you claim that you want.

 

Progress in any endeavor that you choose takes time to develop.  You must arrange your thinking to be in direct relation to the events to happen that you are hoping and praying for.  Hope is planning to fail.  Prayer is begging for something that you already possess.  God grants us all 24 hours in this day to do with however we want.  That is the gift.  The whole problem begins with the way that you think.  Unless you unlearn negative and self-defeating self talk, you will never experience anything but the negative.

 

In closing, I have developed over the years of visualizing what I consider to be the perfect prayer.  I take time to say this prayer often through the day.  Its a simple prayer, that tells exactly my thought processes at any given point in time that I choose. 

 

Here is my perfect prayer.  "Thank You for My Possibilities!"

 

Take time to develop the habit of success, not failure.  Take time to develop your business into the plan that will take you to a new level of success.  Take time to learn the specific techniques and strategies that you need to become successful with a business.  After all, you have the time.  Now, its up to you to take that time and turn into a productuve and meaningful time.

Web Conferencing: Results

I found some interesting Google search results this morning for the keyword term web conferencing. I will start out with the keyword web conferencing resources. This result is holding page one for the blog I have going. This clearly indicates the validity and the power of blogging to gain search engine recognition. The next keyword phrase I found was interactive web conferencing. This particular position, I have nailed three or four positions on page one. As a matter of fact, I am nearing the top on this keyword with, you guessed it, another blog post. With this particular blog, I host it on my own server; however, clearly indicating again, the power of blogging. Its really amazing to watch the process of seo unfold on Google. The constant ebb and flow of the internet is intriguing, and my passion for seo continues to rise each time a position is obtained. The next keyword phrase would be free web conferencing service. The interesting part of this keyword is that I just approached this less than a week ago, and already have page one on Google for another blog post. While Vereconference is really not a free web conferencing system per sae, the signup is free, and unlimited signups are available to try the system fully to see if its a fit for a particular business. These results I am writing about this morning are in real-time, so its important to realize that Google is an ever changing dynamic system. You may not see the same results as you click through. These are only a few of the results for the seo campaign for Vereconference. The journey continues towards the top of the major player known as web conferencing. This is a high traffic keyword, and the major players in that realm have unlimited resources to assist them with their online promotions. I guess you could say that buying a keyword position on Google is entirely possible, even with so-called organic positions.

Even though the big players of web conferencing have the most money, I know for a fact that Vereconference has the best web conferencing service. I do not say this in an advertising way. I have done the comparative analysis by signing up for each of the major web conferencing systems. I have not found even one that comes close to Vereconference in terms of form, functionality and pricing.  Vereconferencing is soon going to reach organizations where communications are an integral part of the overall scope of their online business.

The art and science of obtaining top positions on Google continues with interactive posting of keyword specific articles concerning web conferencing, interactive web conferencing, free web conferencing and webinars.  I will add more results as they become available.  For more web conferencing, please visit:  http://webconferenceroom.net

If change is desired, do you have a viable plan to begin to implement it? Can you see a realistic probability for true happiness and fulfillment in your future? And finally, do you currently buy into the belief that a considerably more motivated and inspired outlook and significantly improved results is a viable outcome for you?

Is your honest answer to any of the previous questions… no? Is the reality that your answer to most if not all of the questions is no. If so, don’t think for a moment that you’re alone. The simple truth is often times in life, especially in these hectic times and days of immediate gratification, we get so caught up in running around, attempting to check off all the things we’ve come to associate with living – that we forget we’re actually supposed to be alive. But the good news is it doesn’t have to continue to be that way.

Take a look at the following…

There simply has to be more to life than the here and now, more than worrying about bills, the job, schedules, and acquiring more possessions. Life is supposed to be more than the hustle and bustle, more than the daily grind of merely making it through each individual day until there are no more. Our days are supposed to be rooted in more meaningful and lasting pursuits like purpose, charity, faith, happiness, and fulfillment. We are here to make a difference. In "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once", you will find stories and perspectives that will help unlock your amazing potential—potential to foster monumental change in yourself and the people around you.

These are the words you’ll find on the back cover of a pretty fascinating, insightful and uplifting book, “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential”. Inside you will find stories and perspectives that will challenge, inspire and motivate you to begin to perceive, see, define and respond to your circumstances in very different, and significantly more effective, ways. And if you are willing to truly commit to the message, to yourself and to your future… My belief is you will find that beginning to turn things around in your life, day by day, just may be much more feasible than you ever thought.

But, I’m getting ahead of myself. In the coming days and weeks I will be providing much more detail about what “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once” is all about… what the message is, what the message is not, excerpts from the inspirational book and reviews that will help motivate you to give a new outlook a chance. So, stay tuned…

Or better yet, if you want to jump ahead of the class you can visit http://www.ststhebook.com/. However, if you’ve heard enough and already appreciate the value an altered perspective, outlook and attitude can bring… (if you really want to ruin the curve) - go to http://www.ststhebook.com/eCart/store_php/bookorderform.php to order book(s) for yourself and/or a loved one.

Each day, be inspired – then aspire to more…

Motivational & Inspirational Stories: A Better Place

Above all else, SomethingToShare.com and the motivational and inspirational book, “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential” (see much more including excerpts, inspiring reviews, etc. at STSTheBook.com) were created as beacons for perspective - as a refuge for inspiration. And as the namesake implies, the true magnitude and potential of our efforts is ultimately contingent on the extent to which we are all willing to share - share our feelings... our experiences... our insights... our inspiration... our growth… our dreams… our potential.

So, what about you? What are your hopes... your fears? What causes your biggest smiles... your heaviest tears? Do you take time out from the hustle and bustle of life every once in a while to examine your priorities... to challenge your perspective... to question your destiny? Do your loved ones truly know that they are? What is the one thing that you wish you could do to make an impact in this life? Exactly what's stopping you from getting started?

We must realize that in the end what matters in this life is not what we could have done - but what we do. And no matter how much we tell ourselves that we cannot make a difference, the truth is each day each one of us can make a difference in someway… for someone. After all, it doesn't take a lot to make a difference - just a little time and a little concern as the following passage so eloquently illustrates;

***

Starfish, (an interpretation), Author: Unknown

A young girl, vacationing with her family, arose early with excitement. Today was the much touted Starfish Day - a day full of festivities beginning with the collection of Starfish souvenirs. Excited, the young girl's early arrival to stake her claim was interrupted by something further down the beach. A quarter mile away there appeared to be a figure repeatedly throwing something into the ocean.

As the young girl approached, she asked what the woman was doing. The woman replied, "high tide has washed all of these Starfish up on shore and they will die if I do not save them." In disbelief the young girl countered, "you can't be serious... there are hundreds and hundreds of Starfish along the beach... you can't save them... what difference could you possibly make?"

With this the woman picked up a Starfish, threw it especially hard against the waves. Then turning to the young girl she offered, "I definitely made a difference in that one's life - didn't I?"

A little later as the guests filed out of the hotel, they were perplexed to see two figures down the beach repeatedly tossing something into the ocean.

***

Without a doubt, we have the capability to make a difference each and every day... for the people we know and those we will never know. Selfless deeds and inspirational words have a way of taking on a life of their own - many times fostering generations of other selfless deeds and inspirational words in their wake.

So make a positive impact, no matter how big or how small, every chance you get. Whether you bring laughter to someone in the midst of losing all perspective or offer hope where there is a short supply... whether you sacrifice for someone in their hour of need or simply try to appreciate a different point of view with your paradigms freed... whether you pay for the next car at the toll booth or choose, on a daily basis, find ways to inspire, encourage and motivate yourself, your family and friends... Whatever you choose to do, make even a small difference on this day and the next…

And the world will be a better place…

Talk to you soon.

Motivational & Inspirational Stories: Feed the Bear

Recently I found myself endeavoring to better understand the actions of a couple co-workers (from my ‘day job’). Although slightly different in their approaches, they shared some rather obvious characteristics – seemingly very much foreign to me. It was easy to see that both were very much rooted a ‘me first’ mentality – each willing to do whatever was needed to ensure they looked good to management, each, whenever perceived necessary, just as willing, seasoned and comfortable with backstabbing and discrediting undeserving innocents along the way. As I rounded out my quick comparison of the two, it further occurred to me that they also shared a seemingly less than ingenuous inherent concern that the task at hand, or initiative itself, be either successfully executed or flawless in effort. Instead, their apparent concerns were only that their associated decisions and actions be perceived that way… that whenever the proverbial lights were on, management inferred their efforts as the most results-based and commanding. It wasn’t about the quality of the mission so much as their relative position in comparison to other employees, when the ‘cameras were rolling’.

Having seen the results of their predatory traits numerous times before… having witnessed the easily discernable drop off of concern and diligence once anyone immediately capable of boosting their respective careers were no longer in earshot – on this particular day I found myself wondering.

Regretfully, it occurred to me that these two individuals, by no means, had the market cornered in this arena – and this most definitely was not merely a corporate thing. The unfortunate truth is on a daily basis, in everyday life, the results of this ‘Me First’ mentality can be readily found. For instance coming out of the market one day, there was a middle-aged gentleman who obviously had the job of collecting the carts from the parking lot. Part of the job, no doubt, was to clean the assorted debris out of the carts before returning them to the store – as I witnessed him diligently retrieving the loose scraps left behind by departed store customers. What I found astonishing was that every loose piece of trash from the carts he retrieved, in a non-accidental manner, ended up in a new resting place - littered across the parking grounds. Apparently, keeping the store’s parking area free of debris wasn’t listed in his job description… apparently, neither was consideration for whoever would eventually be tasked with cleaning up the parking area or any negative customer impressions and/or impacts until clean-up time arrived.

What was the mindset that provoked each of these people, and so many others, to live mired in such a self-absorbed fashion… and such a self-serving way? What was the thinking… the psychological wiring… that allowed some to be so concerned with only self – while caring little about things such meaningful concepts like the bigger picture, content of character, quality of work, legitimacy of effort - and simply not being the type that, for personal interests, has a propensity to willingly throw someone else under the bus?

It was at that point that I recalled a scene from a movie – originally derived, I believe, from an old joke… Two friends are in the wilderness, upon which they both notice a bear coming towards them. One of the men immediately begins to feverishly work to get his sneakers securely on his feet. The second man asks - “What are you doing… do you really think you can outrun a bear?” The first man looks up at his friend and responds – “I don’t have to outrun the bear… only you.”

Perhaps, I considered, there are simply two types of people in this world… those who live their lives like the first friend in the joke – and those who do not… those who could readily sacrifice a stranger or a friend if the ends had the potential to be personally advantageous – and those who simply weren’t wired that way. Then, I reconsidered; perhaps it’s a little more complicated, and a little less black and white, than that. Perhaps we all have the capacity to and do, from time to time, on at least some level, make self-centered statements and decisions – and/or behave in a manner that would suggest the outcome as it effects others is meaningless or irrelevant.

And perhaps, in the end, being a truly happy and fulfilled being is about striving to minimize the instances where we allow ourselves, regardless of the place or circumstances, to stoop to that level… striving instead to accomplish, persevere and achieve in a manner that doesn’t require sacrificing another. For when we willingly sacrifice others for our own gain, in reality it is our own content of character that takes the biggest hit of all.

So, feed the bear… if you must. Just endeavor to find an approach that doesn’t require you to serve up yourself or a friend – and, for that matter, any innocent bystanders. Because everything in life is much sweeter, and true happiness and fulfillment is only attainable when your content of character remains in tact.

And thus begins the blog writing component of my humble existence. After creating, administering and serving as he primary contributor for eight year old, ever popular inspirational website, SomethingToShare.com, progressing the message further with the publishing of my first motivational and inspirational book, “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential” and rolling out the accompanying inspirational and motivational website, STSTheBook.com, where you can find inspired book reviews, inspirational stories and other uplifting excerpts, and just about any other detail about the book – and how this particular inspirational book can make a difference in your life and the lives of the people you love… This article marks the commencement of my efforts to bring a similar brand of motivation, inspiration, insight and perspective to the Blogosphere.

Sometimes the message might be in the form of a nugget of wisdom intended to help you to increase awareness, challenge the status quo and/or widely assumed constraints, consider your power to change, slow down sometimes to appreciate the wonder of the ride and scenery, strive for purpose and seek your intended destiny – and/or to continuously migrate in the direction of whatever brings you happiness and fulfillment. And sometimes the message might be simply a reminder that obtaining the things we truly desire is often times a factor of the extent to which we are willing to play nice and sometimes share the things we’ve got.

We will discuss the power of inspiration, passion, motivation, individuality and believing in self. We will discuss the value of time. Inspirational, motivational and generally positively intentioned thoughts, acts, people, websites, stories, poems, quotes and influences will be highlighted.

Well, the real questions are who is D Anthony, why am I on a quest to make a difference in the world and what does this inspirational book (with the weird title) really have to offer? First, it might help to know a little of the background…

While seemingly always possessing an insatiable need to not only pose the difficult, challenging questions, but to endeavor to answer them - it was a single dramatically life-altering event that would first crystallize the foundation for many of the very much atypical themes, insight and perspective so richly interwoven throughout the pages of my very first book.

From that devastating untimely demise of my beloved mother… from the overwhelming heartache and sense of bewilderment, the catalyst of intense questioning about validity of purpose and the relevance of faith… from the entirely selfish need to simply have living begin to matter again – eventually a new, considerably more selfless destiny, would begin to emerge. In time, discontent would become renewed purpose and disillusionment reinvigorated passion – passion to get the most out of this life and to aspire to my true intended destiny… passion to encourage all who can, and will, dare to dream to discover and strive for their very own unique and incredible version of the same.

It is with that resolve that I launched and continue to grow the highly inspiring and uplifting website, SomethingToShare.com - as an insightful respite from the unchecked stress and spiritual drain that too often defines our day to day existence, a haven for perspective and a place to inspire. It is with that resolve that, through much of the same heartwarming and engaging style popular with website guests, my latest offering, "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once", endeavors to take the next step; offering an empowering, optimistic and highly effective brand of perspective, charging all to recognize and nullify long-held, counterproductive limiting thoughts, paradigms and self-doubt… and challenging us all to find and reclaim our dreams… our aspirations… our true happiness… our fulfillment… our very purpose for being here.

The "Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once" represents D Anthony's initial offering in a planned inspirational, motivational and enlightening series.

Each Day, be inspired – then aspire to more…

The inspirational book "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...Once" is beginning to be seen as a powerful medium where D Anthony, noted inspirational and motivation author, conveys his knowledge and expertise into the art of living well.  His experiences have led him into the incredible life journey as only set backs and disappointments can do.  STSTheBook.com is making page two on Google for inspirational book at this time.  This is clear evidence that the search engines see this valuable information to readers of inspirational material.  Here is an excerpt from the home page of STSTheBook.com

 

"This is a book of potential, faith, purpose, hopes and dreams. This is a book about the importance of time, the power of choice, growth, toughening up and having a heart, commitment, passion, and inspiration. This is a book that considers the ups and downs, life, and death – and what it all means. More than anything however, this is a book that considers a journey's impact, a life-long quest for meaning, happiness and fulfillment, and the resulting stories, perspectives, and lessons that I have collected along the way.

As it turns out, somehow in the midst of years of just trying to survive the excruciating heartache, disheartenment and sorrow that come with having someone you love with all your heart taken away. Life began to take on a whole new meaning for me. I realized that life is fleeting. I realized that whether we utilize our time wisely, whether we believe in ourselves, whether we challenge our fears, whether we endeavor to reach for our dreams and aspirations, whether we strive to make a difference - one thing is certain: the sand will continue to fall through the hourglass, and one day will soon become the next.

So, in the time we have here, why wouldn't we choose to spend that time purposefully, striving for that which matters? Why wouldn't we want to live our lives dedicated to experiencing every bit of true happiness and fulfillment we could possibly acquire?

Perhaps you doubt that "true happiness and fulfillment" really exist, having long ago accepted these concepts as trumped-up illusions treasured only by people not living in the real world. A story comes to mind. Years ago, in passing, I asked a young boy how he was. He answered that he was doing "good" because he didn't have to go to school that day, continuing that he didn't like school and wished he were done. I asked him whether he realized the importance of school, adding that if he got good grades he could be anything he wanted to be. I asked if he could be anything, what he would choose. He responded, "You mean like a bus driver?"

Don't get me wrong, a bus driver is a perfectly honorable and respectable profession. I think the boy was working with a very limited perspective about his universe of options.  His thought process wasn't along the lines of: not interested in becoming a CEO, judge, doctor, astronaut, or a governor… I think I want to be a bus driver. He simply wasn't aware he had so many other options. Sound familiar?

Perhaps your perspective is, after years of trying, that true happiness and fulfillment just isn't within you. Since I have a hard time believing that the Almighty indiscriminately gifted some of us with a magnificent, destiny-defining spark, and did not gift countless others, my suspicion is that we all have the potential within us. It's just a matter, for some, of unlocking the door so that the potential can be released.

I'd like to think that, so many years ago, having presented that young boy with a more opportunistic outlook and additional career options, that he went on to improve his life. I'd also like to think that the stories and perspectives in this book will help unlock your amazing new potential and very own unique and winning mindset.

Make no mistake about it, we are all interconnected and most everything has purpose. What I do today has impact on your tomorrow. And what you do tomorrow has impact on others and me the following day—for good or bad. My mother was called home yesterday. Today I wrote, and you're reading, this book. And if your heart and mind are open, if you possess a willingness to consider, embrace and incorporate – then happiness and fulfillment can be yours and we can all look forward to a brighter tomorrow."
