I'm always inspired when I meet someone who is living a well-balanced, healthy lifestyle. If that person also happens to be a motivational speaker, well, BONUS!

In this episode, you'll meet David Essel, best selling author, and life coach. He is here to inspire change in the world and motivate you to be all you are meant to be.

David recounts the story of a young man graduating from high-school, who inspired him to write a book that will encourage children to love and accept others. Why? Because change starts from the top down.

Change starts with you
That means what we (parents, teachers, leaders) need to know is that change in our country begins with change at home and in the classroom.  An effective approach for inclusion in the classroom climate is created when parents, teachers, and students work together for respect, kindness, compassion, and consideration toward one another. 

How does David Essel suggest we accomplish this shift in in society today? Listen in!

What if every day was your best day ever?
As mentioned in the podcast, each morning I ask Alexa to start my day. Alexa tells me "it's going to be the best day ever." Then Alexa reads the weather, how long my commute will be, what's on my calendar for the day, plays a song to put some giddy-up in my get-along. Then Alexa plays David's One Minute Motivational Message.

David's work in the world of motivation and inspiration is endorsed by individuals like celebrity Jenny Mccarthy, the late Wayne Dyer, Suze Ormond, Mark Victor Hansen, Kenny Loggins and many more!
Here's how you can program Alexa to keep you motivated with David's Message:

* Go to your Amazon account or open your Alexa App
* In search window, type "Alexa Skills David Essel's Motivational Minute"
* Enable Skill
* Say "Alexa, play my news, David Essel's Motivational Minute"

David has been working with people to help them release judgment and stereotypes against others for a long time. This book needs to be in the hands of teachers all across America:
The Real-Life Adventures of Catherine "Cat" Calloway, The First
The two predominant themes for David's children's book are related to:

* Our need to accept those who do not look or act as we do.
* To follow our dreams with the unique talents we have been given.

David and I are discussing what we can do, as parents, to achieve our dream: A world where people have more compassion, acceptance, and love towards each other.
