Eric Thomas is a fantastic speaker, and in this classic motivational speech he empowers us to believe that we can always get through adversity, no matter what the challenge is.
Thomas repeats this line throughout the speech: “I can get through this. I will get through this. I must get through this.”
He also cleverly uses our loved ones as a source of inspiration in this motivational speech.
He asks us to focus on the 3 people we love the most, and challenges us to question our own decisions when it comes to motivation.
“You gotta think about those people every day.”
“You have some days when you think about hitting the snooze button? […] The days you don’t feel like getting up, just think about them.”
Instead of being lazy and complacent, we need to think about our loved ones, and question what they’d think if we were slacking off.
Honestly, it’s fine doing something for yourself, but knowing that you’ve made your loved ones proud just makes everything feel 10 times better. This is one of the main messages from this motivational speech.
And that’s why this is one of the best motivational speeches of all time. It takes the onus away from working for yourself, and instead focuses on putting in the work for people you couldn’t bare to let down.
Thomas is a fantastic American Motivational speaker. I like his thoughts and writing. There are difficult challenge at different stage of our life but we have to strength to overcome all offensive situation.
