Let's be honest. How many of you struggle to get out of bed and then somehow you drag yourself into work? Welcome to the club!
In the morning, sometimes my only motivation for leaving the house on a weekday is a decent paycheck, a large iced coffee, and the camaraderie of my coworkers. Other times it's because I love my job and find it satisfying. (I hope my boss is reading this.)
While grudgingly preparing for work today, I was watching the Today Show and saw a guy who really knows how to motivate people.
Judson Laipply is an "inspirational comedian" who is gaining widespread popularity after a video of his act called the "Evolution of Dance" became a major hit and one of the most downloaded videos on the Internet.
Laipply's motivational message is pretty simple: The first step to creating the life you want is to understand the simple idea that life is change, according to his Web site. He illustrates this change in his video through a sequence of dance moves from various decades. It's pretty funny! And today, I couldn't wait to get to work to share it with my coworkers.
