How? In fact, she can be your biggest motivator if you pay close attention to her activities. Let me share with you some interesting observations that I believe serve as great motivational lessons. 1. Innocence Just look at the innocent activities the baby does. Sometimes, they may not make any sense to others but the baby get’s herself involved in those small happiness activities. That’s innocence. Happiness has its root in innocence. We, adults on the other hand are getting drowned in information, bath in knowledge pools. With every information on our fingertips, we have lost our innocence to overload of information. Can we turn OFF the information channel for a moment and...

You could become anything and anyone, and life was full of infinite possibilities and exciting potential. Logic didn’t get in the way, blocking your sense of freedom and joy. And if life was miserable, you could escape from it all through the creative, imaginative world you made for yourself. It’s no accident that as children we practice all sorts of situations and personas, trying them on for size and preparing ourselves in a safe and harmless way for whatever life might have in store for us. And that free-thinking, creative imagination is more than just a trial run at real life. It’s an invaluable tool when it comes to the resilience and creativity needed to solve life’s proble...

I’d do just about anything. It’s true – in fact it’s my greatest weakness. I struggle to set boundaries. I put myself last. And quite frankly, I enjoy ignoring my own untended messes in order to help others clean theirs, leaving my own life in occasional (okay, steady) disarray. But guess what? Loving to help is also my greatest strength (and yours too). You have an unlimited capacity to give. Though, many people don’t recognize this capacity. They fear that they don’t have enough to give. That they’re not important enough to change anyone’s life. They are wrong. Random Acts Of Kindness If you don’t practice, and understand, the simple power of a random act of kindness, then you are setting limits on your life. T...

Last night I went with my wife to a local hole-in-the-wall pizza parlor where we heard rumor live jazz was going to be played. As our neighborhood is sadly lacking in after-hours-entertainment of this type, we showed up early and got a good seat, close to the action but not so close that you had to shout to be heard. It was a small place, probably seating about 50 people max so the setting was very intimate so we were just a few feet away from the live performers. Within twenty minutes, the first musician climbed the stage with saxophone in hand. He did a wonderful job playi...

And so it was recently. Today, though, Jack was visiting. It was a good decision to ask Jack, our nine-year-old nephew from Hoosier-ville, to accompany me for some evening errands. I had forgotten the unabashed curiosity of a nine year old. Nine is indeed a good age for children — a sweet spot, so to speak.

He’s teamed up with Eli Lilly & Co. and their “Inspired by Diabetes” campaign to help send Type 1 diabetic children to summer camps. “Inspired by Diabetes” is a campaign to help bring families together to help raise awareness to the “global burden” of the disease. Cutler has said, “Diabetes is the toughest opponent I’ve ever faced, but I wasn’t going to let it slow down my career. And kids don’t have to let it stop t...

The idea was that people living with or touched by diabetes would share their experiences via art. And, the US Grand Prize winners are: Health Professional Category: Theresa Garnero, a San Francisco nurse and Certified Diabetes Educator (CDE) who loves to draw - cartoons! Her "Pin the Pancreas on the Piggy" is a tool she uses with her clients, young children with diabetes. Her use of a pig is a reminder that prior to recombinant technology, pigs were a major source of insulin used to treat insulin-requiring diabetics. “As a certified diabetes educator, I continue to witness the impact diabetes has on the people living w...

Recently, I received an email from one of the individuals from the said campaign and told me that the Global Ambassador of the Inspired by Diabetes Creative Expression Competition is Elliot Yamin - most famous for finishing third (behind Taylor Hicks and Katherine McPhee) in the fifth season of American Idol. Yamin, 29, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 16, commented: "I'm thrilled to be joining this important campaign to help children with diabetes around the world.
