The Motivation Manifesto is a pulsing, articulate, ferocious call to claim our personal power. World-renowned high performance trainer Brendon Burchard reveals that the main motive of humankind is the pursuit of greater Personal Freedom. We desire the grand liberties of choice—time freedom, emotional freedom, social freedom, financial freedom, spiritual freedom. Only two enemies stand in our way: an external enemy, defined as the social oppression of who we are by the mediocre masses, and an internal enemy, a sort of self-oppression caused by our own doubt and fear.

The march to Personal Freedom, Burchard argues, can be won only by declaring our intent and independence, stepping into our personal power, and battling through self-doubt and the distractions of the day until full victory is won. Recalling the revolutionist voices of the past that chose freedom over tyranny, Burchard—at times poetic yet always fierce—motivates us to free ourselves from fear and take back our lives once and for all.

Most have forgotten that seeking change always requires a touch of insanity.

When we were hurt, we felt that love was somehow diminished or damaged. But hurt has nothing to do with love, and love is unaffiliated with and unaffected by pain. Ego was hurt, not love.

We are not supposed to miss it all, this life, but we do, all frazzled, stressed, and stripped away from now. The cost is immense - so many moments blurred by speed and worry and panic, all stacking onto hectic days, all creating the catastrophe of an un-experienced, joyless life.

Those who seek to make fear a positive thing are justifiers, not sages. They aren't champions of consciousness. Attempting to conceal fear as a friend is like forcing a wolf to be a pet. Soon the pet will eat us alive.

Fear was given to us as a motive to avoid physical harm and death. That is it. We are the ones who have perverted it into a tool for the ego's protection.

Our thoughts will free us or destroy us. Maturity comes in understanding that it is our choice alone to move toward freedom.

Expectancy is the great differentiator between mere hope and motivation.

The natural foe to life is not a distant death, but a detachment from living.

Page 82
Avoidance may be the best short-term strategy to avoid pain and conflict, but it is also the best long-term strategy to ensure suffering.

Nothing burns more fiercely in our soul than the desire to be ourselves and pursue our dreams.

Page 117
If in aiding others, we kill our own dreams, then it is merely our ego seeking to make a false martyr of ourselves.

Page 198
This popular fantasy that we must first love ourselves before loving others serves no one, for it merely gives us permission to await a good day to love others.

Awareness is humanity's best weapon against time.
