Why you shouldn’t listen to Motivational Speakers (Part 1)
My first question is that why are you listening to motivational speakers? I mean the obvious answer is that you are depressed because of something and are not able to solve the issue and looking for some words or enlightenment to give you strength to overcome the problem, right?
And motivational speakers do that with their speeches they motivate you by telling stories, events and other stuff. Just tell me one thing that does listening to those make your problems go? Obviously not. At the end you have to lift you by yourself then your biggest motivation is you yourself.
Have you ever observed or wondered that every motivational speaker is rich, he or she has lavish lifestyle, nice suites, big house and shining cars. You will see no poor man as a motivational speaker because that poor soul is tangled in his or her own problems, fighting everyday to meet expenses. It’s and Indian saying that “ Who’s stomach is full knows no hunger”. Every motivational speaker you listen will tell you stories in such a way that it seems he or she has faced almost every problem in the world, and only problem if he or she hasn’t faced is that a man was not able to become mother and a woman was not able to become father other than that they have faced every problem of the world.
Please note that they are being paid to tell you stories, they take references from different books manipulate them and present them in such a way that you say “ Wow, he is a true motivational Speaker, he knows my problems”. There was a meme I saw where a lion had a dead monkey in it’s mouth and there was a caption “ Monkey after listening to a famous motivational Speaker”. What lesson do you get from that? That is don’t listen of believe what every motivational speaker say.
There are several reasons why one may choose not to listen to motivational speakers. Some people may find that the advice and techniques offered by motivational speakers do not align with their personal values or beliefs. Additionally, some motivational speakers may make unrealistic or exaggerated claims, or may not have the qualifications or experience to provide valuable advice. Additionally, Some people may find that they are not motivated by listening to others, and prefer to find their own inspiration and motivation. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide whether or not they find value in listening to motivational speakers.
Motivational speakers are often seen as the go-to source for inspiration and guidance. They are seen as experts in their field, who can provide valuable advice and techniques for achieving success. However, there are several reasons why one may choose not to listen to motivational speakers.
One of the main reasons is that the advice and techniques offered by motivational speakers may not align with one’s personal values or beliefs. This can be especially true for individuals who have different cultural or religious backgrounds. For example, a motivational speaker who promotes a “never give up” attitude may not resonate with someone who values balance and self-care.
Another reason to be cautious of motivational speakers is that they may make unrealistic or exaggerated claims. Some motivational speakers may promise quick and easy solutions to complex problems, which can be misleading and ultimately, disheartening. Additionally, some motivational speakers may not have the qualifications or experience to provide valuable advice. A speaker who has never faced the struggles that the audience is going through may not be able to provide the right kind of solutions.
Additionally, some people may find that they are not motivated by listening to others, and prefer to find their own inspiration and motivation. Everyone is different and some may prefer to figure things out on their own, rather than relying on someone else to provide them with answers.
Lastly, it’s important to note that some motivational speakers may also be in it for the money and not for truly helping people. They may use manipulative tactics to make people pay for their books, courses, events, and other products.
Ultimately, it is up to the individual to decide whether or not they find value in listening to motivational speakers. It’s always a good idea to do your own research and evaluate the speaker’s qualifications, background and claims before attending one of their events or purchasing their products. It’s also important to remember that motivation and inspiration come from within, and that the best advice is the one that aligns with your own personal values and beliefs.
