Salut fams,

It is a common thing to see motivational posts these days ranging from pictures to short videos. Clips from movies are being used and sometimes it is musical pictures. These motivational post really go a long way in helping people, atleast those that accept the messages and those that are really willing to have a change of state. For it is a different thing to hear and another thing to accept it (as some people could have allowed their situation and misfortune eaten deep into them that they will just slowly yet unconsciously build a hard thick wall of defence around their heart to prevent any motivational words from entering. They are already used to failure and negativity that they can't don't think positivity and success is possible anymore). It is also another thing to accept and another thing to put it to use.

Most people usually stop at the accepting stage. They don't have the capacity to go into the application stage and the result is that the words they have heard becomes useless to them as it doesn't profit them in any way. I personally see motivational posts as a way of rescuing people from the pit of depression, dejection, shame, lack of confidence and desperation. Sometimes ago, I started thinking of motivational posts or speakers as a positive way of brainwashing people into doing the right thing (No all by the way😂). Take for example; a clip of a pastor preaching on one taking charge of life was shared and he said:

"No matter the economic recession and the scarcity of meat in the forest a lion will never eat grass"

He was trying to say, no matter how difficult life maybe, God will never allow his people God hungry or that they won't have to settle for the less. Cool words right? Yeah, not no until some funny individuals made another clip of a lion in the zoo weakly eaten few grasses and emerges it with that vid of the pastor. Though it was hilarious but of course not true. We all know lions are carnivorous animals meaning THEY DON'T SURVIVE ON GRASSES. Though this doesn't mean that they don't eat grasses at all, they do if they have an upset stomach. They do this to cause a stomach irritation which eventually lead them to vomiting anything causing the discomfort alongside the grasses they have taken in. So, it's safe to say to a large extent that NO MATTER THE RECESSION IN AND SCARCITY OF FOOD IN THE FOREST, A LION WILL NEVER EAT GRASS.

The stars of motivational posts

Have you notice the examples and individuals used by motivational post makers? I call them 'MOTIVATIONAL STARS'😁

They are of different categories from animals stars to plant stars to human stars. By these all have some things in common. These are; confidence, resilience, endurance and focus. Mind you so many others have pass through that same situation but their performance are nothing to write home about. I guess what I'm trying to say is;

'The world will recognise you as a star only when you fulfill the requirements of being a star'

I saw a video of a warthog fighting off two female lionesses who were about to kill her piglets. She stood her ground and defended her piglets from becoming the breakfast of some pride of lions. On a norms, a warthog is expected to run for it life no matter what, but this one stood it and defended it piglets. Sure, that bravery and determination made it a MOTIVATIONAL STAR.

Another one is the fight of some Africa buffaloes trying to rescue one of their own from being killed by a group of lions. So, they made it to the hall of fame of the team work segment of MOTIVATIONAL STARS. But doesn't mean buffaloes would naturally want to confront a lion only the sick headed ones would dare defy the Almighty Lions.

Among humans I guess I don't have to say much as we must definitely have some echoing in our minds right now. It doesn't happen by chance, they don't become superstars by wishes, it took them; TIME, DETERMINATION, FOCUS (which of course has a specific direction), RESOURCES, PAIN, ENDURANCE and also EFFORT.

So, if you too want to be superstar,Let's see if you can answer this questions;

Inspiration from this quote;

As we all know, life is full of ups and downs. There are times you would just feel so weak, you will think that that is the end for you, other times, it would seem like the earth and everyother creation is against you, and other times, you'd just feel like giving up. Several things contribute to these things. This ranges from; failure, disappointment to misfortune at work. But in all these, it is important to able to get up on one feet again, dust oneself and keep moving.
