In an inbox typically overflowing with emails, one of the few I seek out each day is the one from Seth Godin sharing his most recent blog update.

 Why am I addicted to his posts?   Because in three to six short paragraphs, he doesn’t just encourage me to think outside the box, he inspires me to step outside and laugh at the box that someone else created and I’ve taken for granted.

 Whether he’s writing “Why Ask Why,” pointing out the importance of the precocious question-askers in every school and each company (Is there a misunderstood child lurking somewhere in his background who turned his passion for questioning into a career?), sharing advice to take action first, worry about approval later, or challenging us to choose between frustration or change, Seth inspires.

Rarely a post passes that is not relevant in some way, whether the concept he writes about is applied to his topic or another of my choosing.

Thanks, Seth, for the encouragement to always question the status quo.  It’s already enhanced my life.
