Got your attention, huh?! But when I say toot I mean do you toot your own horn? Before you jump on me and deny that you could ever be slammed as a boaster, a braggert, a gloater or grandstander… here’s a second question to ponder. Do you know the difference between peacocking your latest laundry list of achievements in search of applause… and simply stating your status for the sake of keeping your personal and professional peeps up to speed? Mind you, it’s truly a subjective analysis and a fine line, perhaps at that. Of course an immensely guilty party is the web if social media sites relentlessly fueling the fire by seducing the masses to tweet, toot, and tell-all ’til they’re blue in the face (while raking in the billions, of course!). Alas, you can’t live with ’em, you can’t live without ’em, right? So, my soapbox point is, as usual, a mere confession of amusement and careful observation, followed by a prompting to hold up one’s own mirror and tell yourself the truth: Do you toot?? Take a few extra moments to listenfor and consider the responses to your raving and reveling, and you’ll see if indeed you’ve blurred the line in your favor…but against the ears of others. ~ KD

“The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” ~Mark Twain
Net-net, folks: SAY what you MEAN. MEAN what you SAY. We have over one million words in our English language from which to choose. So, don’t be careless or lazy or lame. Be care-FUL and selective…perhaps even picky… when picking the declarations (and mutterings) that will run off your tongue. If language is what truly separates us from animals, well then the right words just might separate you from the misspoken masses.

Today’s little treat is a continuation of last week… a project called MotivationStation USA, being started by my pal Kevin McCrudden… the man who pushed to have January 2 established as National Motivation & Inspiration Day! So here is another little ditty I created for him…FOR YOU!
INSPIRATION. Ok, now this digs a bit deeper into the soul than simple motivation. The elation of one’s heart often comes through witnessing incredible hardship, hearing stories of lifesaving, and learning of human beings achieving absolutely awesome feats. If you’re looking for inspiration…it’s a bit like LOVE. It finds you…and threads its way into your very being. Feeling a bit uninspired? The solution is all about perspective, friends. Be open to the possibility of it every day -in any person, event, thing, experience. Believe that around any corner is tiny nugget that’s just waiting to be discovered by you. Ironically, in the end, when INSPIRATION lights up your own life, the sparkling glow is confettiied into the world, allowing you to then be the fuel for others. ~ KD

Motivation. Some folks like to toss them into the same basket with a lackluster, clichéd definition of “that get-up-n-go-attitude”. Yawn. Worse still is the scenario, for far too many people, wherein they forgot what a sensation of uplifting drive and unstoppable vision really feels like. If you don’t know what a duck looks like, walks like or sounds like…you ain’t gonna find a duck anywhere. Got it? Perhaps it’s time you add a colorful and undeniably memorable definition to YOUR picture of MOTIVATION and see just how it takes shape in your daily life. ~ KD

Feeling like a spoke in the proverbial wheel of corporate America? Wondering why you always seem to find yourself in the line that just ain’t moving fast enough? Are you perhaps at the point of boiling over with festering frustration at not getting what you want, when you want it…EVER?! Well, folks, did you ever stop to think that people and things will treat you the WAY YOU LET THEM treat you. Act like a doormat and…you get the picture. Pipe up, pals, and be the revolution you want to see! ~ KD
