Hello I have heard of many motivational speakers and I have seen a lot of them. Sometimes I just feel that we are all living in lies. When I was in school and mostly when nearing our final examination we were used to get a lot of visit from motivation speakers The funny thing, for most of us we were like focused after the motivation talk but after a day or two we are back to our usual being, I really don't understand but how do you feel after motivation and after some time without listening to them?

I usually try to find words of wisdom from a motivational speaker than I can relate to like try to understand that other persons are dealing with personal problems to the point where they want to be encouraged in their time of need.

@thebos I used to listen to motivational audio tapes from Nightengale Conant.

I don’t get inspired by anyone overly enthusiastic, but if they speak common sense, and they can convey how their lives have changed by what they are saying, something might linger in my head, and I’ll lean on that information.

The funny part is that after motivation, it can make a person start pulling a truck believing he can

The only book that worked on me was from Norman Vincent Peale - The Power of Positive Thinking

I agree about motivation not lasting more than a day or two. But I guess even that is better than nothing.

@thebos Following up every few days would work much better I think.

I have never had any patience for motivational speakers. They have a lot of fans though. Enjoy your day.

I use discernment when listening to anything nowadays. If something doesn't resonate with me as being true I ignore it.
