your need to believe in something, to acquire something that you THINK is missing in your life
so they create a persona and say whats on your mind that you want to hear
all of them say pretty much the same thing but they reword certain phrases and then come up with a gimmick to acquire followers
I mean honestly is there a difference between a politician and a motivational speaker
think about it they both state and say things that they make you feel like believing in them, that they are bigger than life
the only one I really gotten into was ET the Hip Hop Preacher
this may seem cliche, but he really feels like he gets to you, and plus I've personally hit him up and talked to him on the phone and he has a considerable following
that right there shocked me, cause I thought like alot of those motivational speakers that you would have to pay for that seminars or pay to see him
I mean it took a minute to reach him, but the fact that he personally picked up the phone to speak with me, just that one time
showed to me that he was legit, more or so more than the other ones who act like they are down to earth but act like celebrities and wont be bothered with you
but again remember its a business and eventually they want you to buy their books or go to their seminars
is there someting to it, yea, but I say this
Take what you want from them, ACTUALLY PRACTICE the principals that they give out, because there is some truth to them
but honestly there is no need to go to the seminars
alot of it is mentality, practice, and determination to see it through
Yeah you got a point. Like I said before though I may become one when I hit my 30's. I have other stuff I want to do first.
