Even those who encourage others, need encouragement.
So much of how you feel about your current pathways and pursuits, is based upon your successes, or, lack thereof, in the past.
In your current pursuits, how are things going?
Well, hopefully.
If things are not going as well as you had hoped, maybe you need encouragement.
Hopefully you can find that from friends or family but, unfortunately, some of us do not have those people, in abundance, in our lives.
Research on motivation has been employed in various fields.
In the field of business, a central question concerns work motivation, for example, what measures an employer can use to ensure that his employees are motivated. Motivation is also of particular interest to educational psychologists because of its crucial role in student learning. Specific interest has been given to the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in this field.
Motivation is the reason for which humans and other animals initiate, continue, or terminate a behavior at a given time.
Motivation is derived from the word ‘motive’, which denotes a person’s needs, desires, wants, or urges. It is the process of motivating individuals to take action in order to achieve a goal.
Depending upon your goals, a great source of encouragement can come from Motivational Speakers and Coaches.
Here is one example. Let’s walk over to the book store.
Never Give Up–You’re Stronger Than You Think Paperback – April 18, 2017
By John Mason (Author)
“Everything worth doing is going to have some obstacles. Some people look at setbacks as evidence that whatever it is they’ve been striving for just wasn’t meant to be. But according to bestselling author and master motivator John Mason, the moment most people give up is the moment of their greatest opportunity.
In this inspiring book, Mason gives readers fifty-two keys to never giving up on their dreams. He shows them how to ask the right questions when they are on the verge of quitting, how to avoid unnecessary trouble, and how to keep their energy level up in the face of setbacks. Whether readers are building a business, a family, a portfolio, or relationships, they’ll find the strength and motivation to go on, break through, and claim the prize.”
We are feeling a little more encouraged already. It is fascinating what the mind can do if you give it a full chance.
Let’s look at one more.

Brilliant. We are getting more excited by the minute.
As we often like to do, let’s turn to film.
The Way Back is a 2020 American sports drama film directed by Gavin O’Connor and written by Brad Ingelsby. It stars Ben Affleck in the main role, Al Madrigal, Michaela Watkins, and Janina Gavankar, and follows an alcoholic construction worker who is recruited to become head coach of the basketball team at the high school where he was a star.
The film received generally positive reviews from critics, with Affleck’s performance receiving praise.
Here is the storyline.
Jack Cunningham is an alcoholic ironworker who is separated from his wife, Angela. While at Thanksgiving dinner with his family, they express concern about his habits.
The next day, Jack receives a call from Father Devine at his former Catholic high school, Bishop Hayes. He asks him to coach the basketball team, as the previous coach has had a heart attack. Introduced to assistant coach and algebra teacher Dan and the team members, Jack learns that the school hasn’t been in the playoffs since he was a student. Interest has waned, and now there are only six varsity players.
Talk about a challenge.
Here is a review and praise for the film.
The great reviewers at rogerebert.com share, “The basketball games are filmed with a thrilling sense of reality: the fans seem real, the refs seem real, the kids on the other team seem real. “The Way Back” is, essentially, a redemption arc. Jack is weighed down with disappointment. Affleck is in a very personal zone here.”
Well said.
Well done.
Sometimes in life, most of us need to find our way back.
It takes motivation.
Sometimes it takes encouragement.
Once we get back on track and reach the other side, it is well worth it.
