# Unlimited Power!

[![The Superheroes of tomorrow are at today's PodCamps](https://farm1.static.flickr.com/186/413190016_4c933c2377_o.jpg "The Superheroes of tomorrow are at today's PodCamps")](https://www.flickr.com/photos/financialaidpodcast/413190016/ "Photo Sharing")In an interesting conversational thread on Twitter, the topic of power, motivation, and energy came up, as it often does, and Laura Fitton wrote: "always wondered what powers the mighty cspenn. Star Wars music?" Well, music in general. There are some pieces that I find personally motivating, and it's something that I emphasize everyone should have at hand, on an iPod or CD or computer or whatever it takes. Set aside a personal power playlist for each of the kinds of motivation you need - whether it's getting your day started, powering through a task, or setting your mind and spirit for the journey home.
