Top Talks To Make You Feel Motivated

We’re coming to that time in the year where you wake up in the morning and the sound of your alarm just makes you want to cry. All the work that we’ve been putting off has started to pile up; it’s beginning to get just that bit too cold outside and the sun has been replaced by rain, wind and dullness. All of this does make it really hard to want to get up in the morning and face the day head on. Whether you find it difficult to get up and go to the gym, the library, to complete your small to tasks of the day or even just to get out of bed in general, here are my favourite talks and speeches that will make you feel unstoppable- like you can face anything your day throws at you!
