After reading years-worth of horror stories about financial and
relationship losses incurred by folks who get "plugged into" a
Motivational Organization, I'm concerned that some are what I call
"Motivational Junkies". They stay involved, because they need that
artificial excitement and canned love. They get high on the "positive
atmosphere", ignoring the destruction happening all around themselves.
They have pinups of Lamborghinis on their empty refrigerators.
Yes, I believe that this could certainly be classified as an addiction
for some folks!
