The Art of Happiness and Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys

I found this book when I went to check out the new Books-A-Million that has taken over Borders. I didn't buy it, just read part of it there. Dude. It's amazing. You know how I've said that God speaks to me in coincidences? Well, He does. I was listening to Tommy Hopkins and he was talking about words to avoid in the seminar on How to Sell Anything to Anyone. He spoke of how the average of people are unmotivated. My dad and I had been talking about the distinct lack of motivation in our family the last time we talked. I've been trying to realize what my ambitions are and what I should do about them.
He also was speaking on how we need to surround ourselves with people that inspire us to be better than we are. Something that I relate to, and also have read recently elsewhere.
I don't know why I have gotten into such a big self improvement kick. I don't even think it's about that. I guess I just like knowing motivators, the whys of people and the things they do.  We all have potential and I just want to fulfill that.

I guess that's it. (I always did want to be a cowboy....)
