Motivational Manifesto Thesis

Superior Essays
The Motivational Manifesto was written by Brendon Burchard, this book is a powerful and poetic call to reclaim our Personal Power. This book starts you off with a couple of strong quotes; one by Albert Einstein and another by John F Kennedy. JFK’s goes as follows; “Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth”. As you read the book you start to feel the weight of the quote, even in the first section of the book as it breaks down human nature; on freedom, on fear, and on motivation. The second section walks you through nine declarations on what we shall do to claim our personal power and growth. The nine declarations are: 1. We Shall Meet Life with Full Presence and Power
2. We Shall Reclaim Our Agenda
3. We Shall Defeat Our Demons
4. We Shall Advance with Abandon
5. We Shall Practice Joy and Gratitude
6. We Shall Not Break Integrity
7. We Shall Amplify Love
8. We Shall Inspire Greatness

I am certain Brendon Burchard placed this declaration towards the ending because it is one of the most important ones. “To Amplify Love” could mean so many different things, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder with this declaration. “ We are at our finest when we give and live in love, and at our worst when we hoard it, deny it, and choke it from our existence”. This I know to be true, and the love can vary from human to human, human to an object, human to a place, etc. I’ve seen it personally, with my Sister and her son. When he was born, there was nothing more beautiful and she became her best self when she took on the role of motherhood. I have also seen the opposing dark side, people so hurt by a past relationship that they close off any chance of being close to someone, not allowing anyone too close to avoid making them feel vulnerable. To me, Love is the ultimate experience of Personal Freedom. To love and be loved can be such a colorful thing, so animated and bold. It can also be calm, comforting, and a safe

    And he had mine. That's what greater love is.” I believe this passage reflects the theme of the book – love is when you have someone's back and they have yours.

    In Richard Lavoies the Motivation Breakthrough: 6 Secrets to Turning on the tuned-out child proves techniques and strategies based on six possible motivational styles that will revolutionize the way parents and teachers inspire kids with learning disabilities to succeed and achieve. It promotes better communication, improvement through goals, and respect of the student. It provides an idea rather than the reward system. I think the value of this book lies in teaching people that what motivates them does not necessarily motivate their kids or any other person for that matter.

    Throughout Barbara Frederickson’s Love 2.0, new ways to think and feel about life and love are proposed to the reader. She delves in on love as it relates to us physically and cognitively. Personally, I have always carried the belief that without love, we are not truly alive and thriving, but are instead barely surviving. But when I say love, I’m not talking about the strong love you would feel for a significant other, the filial love between a mother and child, or even that strong love a dog feels for its owner. Instead, I am referring to the smaller instances of love felt within things and moments, the joy felt when just having a cup of coffee with friends, or just laying down on the beach, or just sitting and appreciating nature.…

    Humans have always looked for the answer to finding happiness in life. For the majority of people, they believe that love will bring them this sense of happiness. In Barbara Fredrickson’s, “Selections from Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do and Become,” she talks about how we see love in the wrong way and that we should start looking at love the way the body sees it. This change in perception of the definition of love allows people to have a better chance of obtaining love and having a better sense of self. With the conventional notions of love and relationships, love becomes more complex by giving people the sense of longing.…

    I feel that “love” and “broken” is a strand that is important to understanding the text’s non-obvious meaning. I put “love” and “broken” in a strand together because they are contrasting characteristics. “Love” was also, by far, one of the most repeated words (recurring at least twelve times), which leaves a unconscious mark on the brain that “love” is significant to the healing of Renee. Renee was “broken”, lost, and in pain. The speaker was trying to convey that “love” has the power to heal the brokenness inside of Renee.…
