What fuels you?

What fuels you?

With all of the recent talk going on surrounding oil and gasoline, it's only fitting to have a post about "What fuels you?" The funny thing is oil, gasoline, or those hostess cupcakes you stash in your pantry aren't what I'm getting at. That in fact gets you nowhere...except down the road a little fatter and a little more polluted. What I'm looking for is what makes you come alive? What gets you up in the morning?

For example, why is it 11:48pm and I feel wide awake. It's because of this blog. (how odd, right) It's the idea and opportunity of sharing part of myself with a larger world.

So what fuels you, leaves you wanting to do more/give more/be more?

"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

This is a very good question- what does fuel people? Having the ability to relate and motivate is at the core of a strong person-to-person leadership style.

To me, people want to "do good" and want to "feel accomplished." Leadership is about supporting folks and embracing these characteristics.

PS- We definately need to sync your real time for the post (~11:30pm) and the blog's clock (4:52pm).
