Folding napkins....




What is it that makes people tick? What motivates you to get up every morning and do what you have to do? To get somewhere where you want to be. I just finished my ride this morning and am here at Starbucks relaxing when cool old dude shows up and starts to fold napkins. Just folds napkins. That's all. Grabs a handful of them, puts them on table and one by one starts making sure all the creases are perfect. Making sure the napkin is perfectly squared off. Why?


No matter how early it is he motivated himself to get out here at 6 in the morning to do his morning routine. I know it's nothing great, does not make sense to us but to him that is what makes him tick. He has a passion for his napkin folding. I woke up to ride my bike and get my morning workout in, he has the same intentions. He woke up to get things done. Some people live lives to get by. Some people get up and make themselves do something. I like to get something done. It's way to easy to be the type that just gets by everyday, that's why there are many that do. It takes determination and will to get up and change that.


If at the end of the day you can go to sleep and say that you are satisfied with what you have done then all that work you did that day was worth it. You must say that you have accomplished something every single day. Live a purpose driven life even if it is something weird like folding napkins lol and you will find out that you will get more out of it.
