Millions of people will admit, when asked, that they struggle to stay motivated. Every newspaper and news broadcast seems to be filled with doom and gloom. The global financial systems are in danger of collapse and there is talk about depression. These are just a few of the reasons why so many people are in need of motivational articles.
People find encouragement and inspiration from a great many different sources. Some are motivated by the stories of other people that prevailed despite tremendous adverse conditions. Others find hope in religious and spiritual truths. However, experts agree that motivated people, regardless of how they are motivated, are generally happier and more positive. In such a state they are more likely to make positive contributions to society as a whole.
Every bookshop has numerous titles on various theories, techniques and philosophies aiming to help people feel better about themselves and their lives. The internet also abounds with sites that aim to inspire people to do better, to achieve their aims and to simply become happier. However, many people simply prefer a short, easy to understand and quick lift from a magazine or website.
There is an astonishing number of writers that are successful in regularly publishing inspiring and uplifting material. Many of them concentrate on a specific field, such as religion, yoga or other spiritual systems. Others found their niche in describing their own experiences and how they manage to cope with pain, setbacks or even tragedy.
One of the biggest sources of inspirational material is the internet, of course. There are many thousands of sites dedicated to helping people live better, happier lives. In some cases it is necessary to register as a member but most sites do not charge a membership fee. There are sites covering every possible aspect of life, ranging from inner peace to eternal salvation.
Critics are voluble in their opinion that this type of inspirational writing is nothing but rubbish. They say that authors aim to help people by dishing out bite sized pieces of advice that are not based upon sound therapy principle and that have no foundation in the science of psychology. However, most reasonable people will agree that anything that succeed in making people feel better about their lives cannot do any harm.
The sheer number of motivational articles published every single say is a clear indication of just how popular they are. Most magazines include at least one such article in each issue. Readers often feel that they are mostly exposed to negative news and that they need something positive to help them retain their perspective.
