Hosts Patrick Giarelli and Brian Donovan have 5 minutes to take a quote that you may have seen in your everyday life on social media accounts and the walls of your guidance counselor's office, and hit you with some wisdom and insight that you may not have considered before. You may hear some F*Bombs and we're not always appropriate, but Five Minute Motivation is all about making the world  a better place by asking listeners to pay attention, work hard, and be kind to others.

Chasing rabbits.

In this episode, we discuss a quote that addresses challenges in life.  The big ones, the everyday struggles, and everything in between being a matter of how we look at these issues and overcome them.

Life is just like a voyage.

In this episode, we delve into one of our favorite genres of music to cull some inspiration from the prolific rapper Logic.

The sky is NOT the limit.

In this episode, as promised in the previous episode, we have a deep quote from a true musical and spiritual legend, Mr. Bob Marley.  Although, after further research it turns out that both Bob Marley and Bob Dylan may have repurposed the quote from the original usage by Roger Miller."Some people feel the rain.  Others just get wet."<ul><li>Bob Marley</li><li>Bob Dylan</li><li>Roger Miller</li></ul>There.  Everyone gets a little credit.  We won't take any credit for the quote, but hopefully you enjoy our take on it.We sincerely hope you enjoy this episode of 5 minute motivation.  We see the numbers, we know you're listening, and we can't thank you enough.  It gives us immense pride and affirms our mission just knowing that there are people  (like you! reading this now) that are positively affected by our thoughts on life, love, laughter, and generosity to name a few.  We are excited to offer an opportunity to become more involved.  We have a new home for our listeners to show their appreciation and directly support 5 Minute Motivation on Patreon.  We will continue to develop special offerings for our supporters, and are open to any requests for specific access or items that will adequately  reward you for your support.Check us out on our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/5minutemotivation">Patreon page</a> to learn how to directly support us in our mission to make the world a better place, one quote at a time!Thank you so much for listening, and we'll see you in 5 minutes!
