Summary
Join me every Monday for a quick burst of inspiration on our Live Inspired Podcast Monday Motivation segment.
“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstance, to choose one’s own way.” – Viktor Frankl

| 0:00.0 | Well, hello, my friends and welcome to Monday morning motivation with John O'Leary. |

| 0:19.6 | And during this season, don't we need a burst of inspiration? |
