UPDATE: THE BEAUTIFUL LADY YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT AND I WAS MARRIED OCT. 3, 2009! SORRY I HAVEN'T HAD MUCH TIME TO WRITE ANYTHING OR KEEP IN CONTACT WITH EVERYBODY LIKE I WAS.
Hi and welcome to my site, no, I take that back, OUR site.
My name is Garry Kauffman and I live in the beautiful state of Colorado. I am divorced and have 4 wonderful beautiful children. Residing in such a state as Colorado provides me the opportunity of going into the mountains for walks and meditation. Being alone though, it seems over the last 15 years the walks became more tiring and lonely then motivated me.
I have enjoyed writing my whole life and usually read an average of 2 books a week, yes I said 2. I am not really a TV watcher and most of my spare time is intertwined between reading and writing.
I hope you enjoy this site as much as I have putting it together. Almost everything I write is directed at ME and if along the way someone gets a tidbit of motivation from it that will make me happy.
The following definitions of motivation were gleaned from a variety of psychology textbooks and reflect the general consensus that motivation is (1) an internal state or condition (sometimes described as a need, desire, or want) that serves to activate or energize behavior and give it direction (see Kleinginna and Kleinginna, 1981a). (2) internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it direction; (3)
desire or want that energizes and directs goal-oriented behavior; (4) influence of needs and desires on the intensity and direction of behavior.
It is through my motivational thoughts (sent out to over 300 people) that I hope to contribute my small part in helping others.
Self motivation is the ability to motivate yourself, to find a reason and the necessary strength to do something, without the need of being influenced to do so by another person. Working in a careful and consistent manner without giving up.
There is really no sense in telling you very much about me, by reading my motivational thoughts you will learn quite readily who I am and my past.
Good reading to all who enter.....
Smiles from Garry
