Motivation is the basis for taking action or making a decision. Motivation is an influence, an incentive, the stimulus for change. On Tuesday, the tax on cigarettes in New York state will increase by an additional $1.25, making the tax on a pack of cigarettes $2.75. The increase in the price of cigarettes will motivate people to quit smoking and motivate children not to start smoking. This tax increase will spur more than 140,000 New Yorkers to quit for good, prevent more than 230,000 children from smoking, save more than 37,000 New Yorkers from smoking-related deaths and produce more than $5 billion in long-term health care savings for taxpayers. If you are ready to quit smoking, there are resources to help. Quitting smoking is a process, and a good plan is part of the process. Set a quit date: This is the day you will be tobacco-free.

Small experiences fill a well of motivation to tap into at
During my running career I have looked for inspiration and motivation from many sources. Initially, I looked to stories about incredible bravery and overcoming adversity to achieve monumental goals. My inspiration has changed over time. Chance encounters and day to day examples of inspiration have led me to look at the smaller view rather than the big picture.
In 1997 I ran my first marathon in Chicago. Coincidentally, Khalid Khannouchi, one of the greatest modern marathoners, also finished his first marathon that day just 20 seconds slower than the world record. A few years later, when he was the reigning world record holder, I stood in line at the New York Marathon expo to get his autograph. I mentioned to him that Chicago had been my first marathon too. His face was suddenly animated and he excitedly exclaimed how much he loved that first marathon and that it is a special race for him.

Anticipate the positive
This onslaught of questioning is all about them anticipating the positive. They are prepping themselves for the good stuff. They are lit up like Christmas trees talking about what toys they will bring, what we are going to see and do while there, etc.
Come to think of it, they get the same way when we tell them we are going out for ice cream, heading for the beach, etc.
My kids, like so many others, are good at getting excited about the good stuff.
I am not sure when it happens, but we adults seem to lose our ability to anticipate the positive. I wish I had a dollar for every person who has told me, "I can't get excited about that trip (dinner, movie, play, etc.) until I get through this."
As adults, many of us not only have forgotten the power of anticipating the positive, but also have taken that great gift of anticipation and used it instead for negative anticipation.

'The secret of life is love’
The secret of life is love: the inexpressible love of God that overcomes human weakness, moves human hearts so that he loves life, his neighbours and even his enemies. Sr. Marta Wiecka appears as a luminous example of limitless love. Her beautification is a concrete example testifying to the importance of responsibility for others, of life for others, of service to others. By making new saints and blessed the Church shows them to us and our successors as models to follow. The Church invites us to follow this way and to witness to the world about limitless love that overcomes all things, even death.� Cardinal Bertone appealed to those who cared for the sick, �May the Blessed Sr. Marta Wiecka arouse in you care, attention and dedication for all sick. Man is a unity of body and soul. When you care for the sick do not forget to consider their spiritual needs, necessary for full health.
