If you are a church goer (or were) do you dress up or are you more laid back and your clothing more casual

Where do you draw your inspiration from

Do you color your hair and if so, 1) when was the last time and 2) do you color it regularly

What are you reading 

If you rent movies, what was the last one you rented and was it good

Molly, in 2 consecutive posts you said that motivational speakers could:

1. "Yep, to get out of a bad relationship, to get a better job by maybe going back to school, by motivating someone with health and wellness by giving them the strength to out there and better themselves. Motivating someone to push themselves to do something better."

2. "to many millions of people, it has helped them in life and inspired them to do more."

The first post clearly talks about solving problems, and the second talks about "helping in life." Presumably by "helping in life" you are referring to what you already posted about solving problems - bad relationships, jobs etc.

"Funny how I didnt think to question it at all."

That could also just be because you and Jamblessed share your misunderstanding of what the word means and doesn't mean.

You purposely take posts out of context.

I said if that if pep talks could really do all that, we would not have so many problems in the world. I have not been critical of any views. i am just trying to understand what people mean.&amp;amp;amp;lt;/span&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/strong&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;gt;I don't think pep talks are lame.  And while I wouldn't use "solve" to mean what pep talks do I do believe they are a coping mechanism, Name one problem and you'll find many support networks that people do benefit from.  &amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;A lot of people don't find pep talks lame. Roll and I do.  My friend Heather (dare I call her my BFF?) is a big lover of pep talks. They really help her to get motivated; they might even inspire her. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;But that's what's interesting about dicussions like this (when they're not being made into ridiculous drama) - the differences.  My friend Heather and I can be so deeply connected, and love and respect each other, even though I think all the pep talks and quotes and pretty pictures are lame.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So this friend of yours knows you find them&lt;em&gt; lame&lt;/em&gt;?  Curious. &lt;/p&gt;</blockquote></p><p>yes she does. That was pretty obvious from my other posts. </p>

Then you really aren't friends.  Friends don't put eachother's choices down like that.

The original question was very open ended, Thank you for your contribution.

"What word?"

Inspiration. You and Molly both seem to be mixing "inspiration" up with "support" and "motivation."

"You purposely take posts out of context." ------------ No, not at all. You clearly referred to WW being inspirational.
