These Olympics have taught me something new. Rock Thomas is a motivational speaker on success. One of his motivational videos is entitled, “What would you do if you knew you woudln’t fail?” Those words blew me away! I have no idea what my answer is or I am afraid to have an answer because then I will have to do it. The title mantra is what our Olympians have as their mindset each time they compete. For today, I challenge you to think of an answer to this question. Enjoy the day…Lit Maven OUT!

I am a noticer. I notice when regular people look like famous people. I notice when signs are spelled wrong. I notice the color of someone’s eyes. I also notice coincidences. Recently I have come across several gurus Seth Godin, Sir Ken Robinson, and yes,Drew Barrymore, proclaiming how to get better at being better. The overwhelming message is to find your tribe. Surround yourself with people that share your bowl of chicken soup. This week my fellow graduate students and I have had a week off. I miss them! I need their chicken soup for my tribal soul! SO my advice to all you bloggites is to find your tribe, light your torch and fill your bowl.
