Motivational Product Or Cult Propaganda?

Is there more to motivational products than what meets the eye?  Many times there is much more to motivational products than one might think.  Have you ever seen the videos of these seminars and gatherings that these companies put on?  Sometimes when I see them I instantly feel like I’m watching a televangelist trying to get me to put money in the offering plate.

Motivational products are a great way to embed cult like propaganda into an unsuspecting new recruits.  To motivate can also be suggestive, a way a group or organization discreetly implants their agenda into your values for their own good.  A cult is defined as “devoted attachment to a person or principal”.  Brainwash is defined as “to indoctrinate so thoroughly as to effect a radical change of beliefs”. 

That’s seems just what many of these products aim to do.  So when is it truly trying to make you a more positive and better person?  Maybe when there is real value in the product.  Not merely an attempt to recruit you into something promoting lifestyles of the rich and famous if you become part of this elite group.  To promote a motivational product completely on an idea that “if you join and buy these you will become rich” is in my opinion cult like and has negative intentions.

The people who are involved in some of these groups love to call people like me “negative”.  They consider me negative because I take the time to look at all aspects of what is being presented to me.  I don’t just immediately jump on board and try something someone wants me to try, especially when it involves large amounts of money.  I am a realist, not a negative person.  I have one of the most positive outlooks of most anybody.  I am also smart enough to know when something seems to good to be true or sense when someone is being deceptive to me.  I say approach motivational products with caution, especially if they come with a high price tag and make claims of financial wealth.
