This is interesting. There was a time when I looked as motivational speakers as bollocks who didn't have any thing to offer. I'm still very careful of who I listen to regarding life in general, but one of the important things I've learned from a Clinical Psychologist is to "Clean Up Your Room".
It sounds very simple, but the work this does when it becomes a habit goes far a wide in helping us keep our life in order.
We sure need to start paying proper attention to our environment.
