		<description>Great topic Brian.
What I find to be very provoking is our sanity during tough times. Images of disaster provoke me and remind me how easy we actually have it.</description>

		<description>Great article Brian. I think it&#039;s about self-acceptance and once you accomplish that it&#039;s about provoking you kids. Keep up the good work.</description>

		<description>Kirk,

An action and thought provoking article that appeared in my inbox right after I read your response.  

Here is another angle to consider:

http://chrisguillebeau.com/3x5/what-you-dont-do-doesnt-matter/

and some thought provoking blogger I follow.

		<description>Kirk,

Don&#039;t provoke me buddy :)

But yes it is a great point and on a quantum level thought could be considered and action could it not?

Any way, I am glad you are commenting.

Renee,

thanks for your support and I am glad I can stoke the fire.

		<description>Personally, I think that &quot;thought provoking&quot; is about as useful as the &quot;self-help&quot; books, if they don&#039;t promote an actual change. Perhaps a better category would be &quot;action-provoking&quot;? Books that not only promote considering change, but actually taking action to make that change reality...</description>

		<description>Thank you for feeding my fire again, Brian.  Your words always inspire me to &quot;be&quot; greater than my mind normally believes.  I am a writer, not a reader.  I&#039;ve picked up several of these books only to read the passages I am supposed to hear in that moment.  I wish you success in finding your new passion, not &quot;drug&quot; as this will only fill a temporary void.  I support you always.
Hugging you.</description>
