My friend G.L. Hoffman has a great post over at U.S. News and World Report called “The One-Sentence Motivator.” His own one-sentence motivator (spoiler alert) is “Be the man you dreamed you could be when you were a little boy.”

It’s not as heartwarming as the little boy one but it gets me out of bed in the morning . . .
Paul—Diffr’t strokes…
