Connie’s motivational quote for the day is from Harriet Tubman "You have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars and change the world.” Harriet is a preeminent example of how one person shaped history through her own personal action. Her work with the underground railroad gave people the ability to live as free citizens. Pretty Heady stuff right? But let's talk about you. On a more realistic scale – what really chafes you? Have you thought about what you might do to call attention to the problem and get something done? Just like Harriet, we all have the power to make change. The question is, will we harness that energy to affect real change?

Connie‘s Motivation Quote Today is by ~ Don Miguel Ruiz   “You see, everything is about belief. Whatever we believe rules our experience, rules our life. The belief system we create is like a little box we put ourselves inside of; we cannot escape because we believe we cannot escape. That is the situation. Humans create their own boundaries, their own limitations. We say what is humanly possible, and what is not possible. Then just because we believe it, it becomes truth for us."   Have you ever struggled with feelings related to your self-worth, fear of rejection, shame and blame? Would you ever describe yourself as fascinating, imaginative and a capable human? Would you ever use these wonderful words to describe yourself? Do you feel like you are capable of enthusiastically work through life's inevitable obstacles while rearranging yourself mentally, emotionally and physically?

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by ~ Paulo Coelho   "Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people are connected, and we are able to know everything because it's all written there."   When you look up in the sky at night and see all the twinkling stars, what do you think about? Do you contemplate the Universe and all the miracles it holds for us every day? Or do you just look up at the sky and think, that's pretty? Hopefully, you look up with wonder and reflect on all that we have available before us and how a change in us can create changes in the world.

Connie‘s motivational quote today is by ~ Albert Einstein   "Creativity is contagious. Pass it on."   As a kid, do you remember when your mom bought you the new big box of Crayola crayons? Remember how it smelt when you opened the lid and how perfect each pointed crayon looked, as they stood at attention waiting for you to choose the perfect color to draw your picture. Remember as you visualized the picture you were going to create, your next masterpiece, or choose the page in the coloring book you couldn't wait to color in.   At that moment, when you placed the crayon to the paper there were no thoughts of judgment or fear that your creation would be anything but perfect! The only thing that mattered was you and your creation. So what happened? Why did we stop coloring, drawing, and creating masterpieces that brought us such joy? Does aging mean we have to loose that feeling of creativity and blissful engagement?I certainly hope not!   Today your host, Connie Whitman, speaks with Joann Nocera and Joann belie

Connie‘s Motivational quotes today is by ~ Stephen R. Covey   "Where we stand depends on where we sit. Each of us tends to think we see things, as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, and our paradigms. When other people disagree with us, we immediately think something is wrong with them."    Do you think your way of living is the correct way? Do you judge those that do not live their life as you do? Come on, admit it, you judge people every day! We all do, right? So who is living the right way? Are you, am I, and are friends or family living correctly? These are some deep questions, aren't they? The reality is we all have different filters based on several layers of the human experience. So is your perspective the correct perspective? In the next half hour, we are going to boil this huge topic down into idea

Connie‘s Motivational quote today is by ~ Siva Devaki   "Sales is not about selling anymore, but about building trust and educating."   When you hear the word sales, what words pop into your mind?  Sleazy, pushy, money-grubbing, embarrassing to do, I'm not good at sales, and the list goes on and on. Why does the word sales generate such strong responses and get such a bad rap? Old-time sales are dead and that's a good thing. Sales are a necessary part of any business to thrive and survive.
