Do not tell people how to live their lives. Just tell them stories. And they will figure out how those stories apply to them.
Randy Pausch
The motivation, the insight, the knowledge of the right thing to do is there, it is in everyone. But sometimes it needs a hint to discover it. So give people stories, give them quotes, be an example.

Great quote. Randy Pausch is an inspiration to all of us.
I wrote about Professor Pausch recently and thought your readers may enjoy it. http://www.moneyprovidesfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/03/05/inspirational/
Nice Blogentry yourself. I learned about some quite inspirational people I didn’t knew yet, so thanks. Although I didn’t get the connection to your topic “financial freedom”.
I’m glad you liked it. Although my blog is mainly about getting out of debt and having more money available, I try to cover a wide range of topics like motivation. These are difficult economic times and sometimes people need encouragement to help them get through their day.
Quite a noble approach. Like Randy said in his Last Lecture: “Help others!”
