Yea, there's been a few Hollywood movies lately, but I am talking about 1980's G1 goodness.
Let's not forget about the toys! Still have a bunch of the original ones - plus - a few of the new releases that make me feel like a kid all over again. Many may argue that I never really grew-up. They may be right. Perhaps all I did was really "transform" my external body... ;)
What about internal transformation? That may actually be the most difficult. We all change our exteriors: our clothes, our hair, over-all appearances (especially during Halloween) but internal change is a feet nothing short of getting a rocket into orbit.
Fuel? What motivates you? Many of us may say "money". After all, how am I to get my cool Transformers figures? In all seriousness, let's think beyond the physical. Think what really drives us regardless of tangibles. That which remains long after we're gone. Our legacy. We may not live forever, but be ready to believe that your actions will live on forever. Believe in the impact your life will leave on those who know you. On those who count on you, love you and rely on you.
Need rocket fuel? I highly recommend The Power to Transform as your station.

This was a truly inspiring post. Reading it left me feeling overwhelmingly pleasant. Your analogy of the rocket was not only valid, but serves as an accurate representation of what's truly necessary to be successful. Getting started is usually the hardest part because you have so much to overcome. However, once you're up and running, the moment and success that you encounter will carry you the rest of the way... straight across your finish line to infinity and beyond.
