Motivational Speakers don't motivate... Motivation comes from within and no one can do it to you or for you. What motivational speakers can potentially provide is the impetus to move you into action. And action (as always) is the key.

Nine times out of ten you will find that the "motivation" you receive is actually something you "retrieve."

In other words, someone or something triggers a remembrance from deep inside of you -- in one of those extreme moments of clarity your thinking takes you to a place of higher resonance and you remember who you are and of what you are capable.

When the wave of motivation rolls over you, you are inspired (in spirit) by a new sense of power and purpose.

You are catapulted into a sense of heightened awareness -- the world, opportunities, and potentialities expand unbounded around you.

What once seemed impossible to your logical/rational mind suddenly seems completely possible. In fact, it is not only possible...it is certain!

Yes we have all heard the repetitive platitudes and clichés of the genre but have you not also had that moment...albeit ever so brief... in which (being reminded of a power beyond your limited intellect and finite physical abilities), you knew beyond a shadow that you could accomplish the apparently impossible?

You will notice that fully one third of the word motivation is rooted in motion. We have often been told that "knowledge is power."

Now there is a cliché that is full of crap! Knowledge is not power... knowledge is nothing more than organized information; and therefore only "potential power." Real power is only accessed and directed when knowledge is placed into action.

To tap into your internal core, where true motivation resides, you must get your own self-limiting beliefs out of the way and allow your Infinite ability to flow through. This will never come from an outside source, although it may be triggered after an exposure to an external source.

All great sages, teachers and saints have taught in one-way-shape-or-fashion that the power to win in life comes quite simply from two things -- you must constantly:

   1. Study, understand, and immerse yourself in that which brings you power.
   2. Avoid all that weakens you.

Therefore, while giving the ever-popular "motivational speaker" a bad rap in the beginning of this discussion, these ubiquitous warriors of re-minders and re-membering do carry some degree of power and potential transformation.

Plugging your mind into ideas and techniques of an expansive nature in a world inundated with negative input, can assist you in staying plugged in to that power source lying deep within your core.

To quote a frequently used motivational speaker axiom "it is not what you know that will create a change in your life...it is what you do with what you know."

As a result, the positive and upbeat information you exposure your mind and body to must be put into action -- massive, immediate, and consistent!

To truly be "motivated" you must tap into your own power center -- or in other words, your Divine internal essence.

As stated earlier, "tapping in" can be facilitated by surrounding and exposing yourself to Thoughts of Power; and then most importantly that potential power must be set in motion... moving from your head to your heart and ultimately to your feet.
