Motivational Monday: Eric Thomas

I’ve been listening to a lot of motivational videos on YouTube. They’re really great for a pick-me-up. Most of them are highlights from some of the best motivational speakers today: Tony Robbins, Gary Vee, and my current favorite, Eric Thomas, aka ET the Hip Hop Preacher.

Eric Thomas is a man who at one time found himself living on the streets, eating out of garbage cans. Instead of giving up and feeling sorry for himself, he got to work. 20 years later, he’s one of the top motivational speakers in the world and has earned himself a PhD.

My favorite thing about ET is that he kind of dresses you down as he motivates, which isn’t for everyone, but that works for me. Even when I feel like I’m doing everything right, even if I AM doing everything right, it’s good to have something to make me ask myself, “Am I doing all that I can? Am I really?”

So, if you’re looking for some motivation in just about any aspect of your life, I recommend you check out some of ET’s videos. You can find his youtube channel here, with hours and hours of free content.

Fun fact about this post: The video that pushed me into this whole motivational rabbit hole featured, of all people, Tyrese Gibson!
