                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the 
      establishment of a National Motivation and Inspiration Day.

Whereas motivation and inspiration have played important roles in the greatest 
        achievements of civilized society and are characteristics common to all 
        great leaders;
Whereas both children and adults need motivation and inspiration in order to 
        achieve success and happiness in their lives;
Whereas the inspiration to define goals at school, home, and work and the 
        motivation to achieve those goals is critical to achieving success and 
        happiness;
Whereas all children and young adults need mentors to inspire them to achieve 
        their goals and to motivate them to direct their energies toward 
        positive and constructive activities and goals;
Whereas adults who mentor children and young adults become inspired and 
        motivated themselves;
Whereas a renewed focus on motivation and inspiration is particularly important 
        in the wake of the tragedies of September 11, 2001;
Whereas the beginning of the year is often a time of reflection, planning, and 
        goal setting;
Whereas the establishment of a National Motivation and Inspiration Day would 
        provide an opportunity for the people of the United States to focus on 
        the importance of maintaining motivation and inspiration in their lives; 
        and
Whereas January 2 would be an appropriate day to establish as National 
        Motivation and Inspiration Day: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) a National Motivation and Inspiration Day should be 
        established; and
            (2) the President should issue a proclamation each year 
        calling on the people of the United States to observe such a 
        day with appropriate programs and activities.
                                 &lt;all&gt;
