Garden Route motivational speakers might be accused of their words that sound like a clever juxtaposition of words without much practical sense, but coming when they do from a person who has conquered some of the steepest hurdles to tame life by the scruff of its neck, they do motivate millions. If Les Brown could, why couldn't we? Most of his followers tend to ask. Brown also has another gem of an advice for his audience. He strictly advises them to banish all negative thoughts however overpowering they may be as worries are more akin to rocking chairs - they keep you busy but lead you nowhere! Garden Route motivational speakers might take the other example of Iyanla Vanzant who created her own destiny after surviving harrowing instances of incest and went through a decade of violent and abusive first marriage before she could muster enough courage to walk out of the living hell with her three young children to chart her own life. She realised the importance of arming herself with proper education to be able to face the vicissitudes of life. Thus, braving all odds, she graduated from Medgar Evers College and went further to wrest a law degree from the City University New York. She acknowledges motivation is essentially an internal process that should be bolstered by adequate doses of spirituality, self-help and benign divine intervention. It must start from within instead of being superimposed externally. These are but only two instances of sword's edge that Garden Route motivational speakers can also traverse and the message that such instances continually emanate is if they could succeed why wouldn't others?
