I as an individual like everyone else. You can listen and be lectured but it is only you who can motivate yourself.
MY life has taken a change for the worst as if something came like a bat out of hell.I am not one to complain and i always seem to be in the game,that is of life .I am a strong single mother of four and some days i love the challenges and the ups and downs but there has been a negative side lately,I wake up and feel like the world just dropped on my shoulders and the weight seems abundant;like how in God's name do you lift this intense pain.It feels as if i am paralysed,I was just recently diagnosed with aniexty and maybe it is a huge result from the world fallen on me,at least thats what it feels like to me.We all can be motivated at times and listen to many speaker's but they can only inspire you not do it for you.At the time of their motivational speech they are probally at their most sucess and can not quite be you or think like you,because you as an individual can only truly feel your own pain.What an inspiration it may be but until they are you or have felt what you feel they can not fathom your extreme pain.Some people say i was once that person ,weak ,scared and feelings of hopelessness but they one day said this is not my life nor will i succomb to this. I truly believe that it happens to many but that is why i say only you can do it for yourself and no one can do it for you but there are many people to inspire you and until you are ready to come alive again and face the world all there is to do is listen and just hopefully one day you are ready to fight back and be you again,the person who could do anything.
I agree completely! So keep motivating yourself out of dark time!

So very true my friend, if it's in you to be motivated, then you will be and lots of times it just depends on moments. You expressed yourself clearly here with perfect understanding. Michael
