Finding Motivation from the White House

Being that I don’t have cable at home I tend not to know what news specials are on, what new movies or coming out or pretty much anything else that I can’t watch on Fancast (client) or catch up on with Google News or CNN.  So, earlier this weekend I came across a news special that NBC put together entitled “Inside the Obama White House”  The site has a total of 15 videos which take you behind the scenes of the White House.

Being someone who loves any behind-the-scenes look, as well as someone who is fascinated with the inner workings of Washington, I eagerly watched all of the videos.  Brian Williams does an excellent job at balancing the personal and professional side of the White House including President Obama, his family and the many hard working individuals who work at the White House on a daily basis.

One of the major takeaways from watching the videos was how hard working everyone is from the President down to his staffers.  It is by watching videos like these that I find some of my inner motivation and drive.  While I’m debating whether to type another blog post or get an extra hour of sleep, there are individuals, many of them right around my age, that are working late, staying up working on policy issues such as the economy, going over security plans for the movement of our President, formulating responses and plans of action for ongoing international crises or a host of other issues that comes with running our country.  If these individuals can stay up  a little while longer to work on those responsibilities, I can definitely spend more time working on my projects.

If you want to see a little bit about what I’m talking about, check out these 2 videos to see what a day in the life of the White House is really like:
