This book comes highly recommended as a game changer by a few high performers.

21. The Obstacle Is The Way
The Obstacle is The Way belongs on this list, because it provides its readers with the mindset that is necessary for achievement. While most motivational books are great at getting you started, this book is the one you’ll want to read to keep you going during those challenging times.
Ryan Holiday has managed to very eloquently convey the wisdom that all seekers of success will eventually come to realize; that what stands in the way of action, is exactly what should be advancing our action. As such, we can’t recommend this book highly enough.
22. The Magic of Believing
The Magic of Believing is truly a classic book. And the reason it has made our list of top Motivational Books of all time, is because of it’s ability to get you to take action. Regardless of the age of the book, Claude Bristol convincingly teaches the reader about the power belief has in our ultimate success.

So, if you’re a person who doubts what’s possible for you and your life, and you want to learn about a perspective that can give you the motivation you need to change your life, this book is for you.
23. The War of Art
Steve Pressfield is not your typical champion of motivation or success. He’s not a motivational speaker, or a motivational guru. But, he’s pieced together a timeless motivational work of art in his book, The War of Art. With this book, he’s managed to drill down on the resistance that every person, whether it’s an artist, entrepreneur, or corporate climber will face. And it’s refreshingly motivating to know that the obstacles and resistance you’ll be facing is normal. But more importantly, that it’s conquerable.
By the end of the book you’ll have a renewed sense of hope that you can conquer what’s holding you back in life, and achieve whatever it is you are striving for.
24. Relentless
This book has the power to deliver. There are not too many books out there that can prime your mindset for high achievement like this book can. You’ll walk away from this book with the mindset that has helped some of the greatest athletes become, well, the greatest athletes.
To be sure, this book is highly motivating. And after reading, you will have discovered the type of relentlessness that anyone can hone, to achieve great things. This is a motivation book for anyone who is ready to take their life to the next level.
25. How To Win Friends And Influence People
Our final motivational book is nothing short of a classic. How To Win Friends And Influence People is a masterclass is human relations and self-development. But the real reason this book makes the list, is primarily because of it’s ability to motivate the reader into wanting to work on those social/soft skills that lead to success.
There’s not very many books that inspire you to want to get out there in the real world so-to-speak, to put what you learn to immediate use. This book will give you solid encouragement and advice for finding more success in life. As such, this is one motivational book you do not want to overlook.
Bonus Motivational Book
We have one last bonus book for you. Now ‘The Strive Journal’ is not your typical motivational book. In fact, it is not a motivational book at all. However, it makes the list because it takes many if not most of the principles from the previous books just mentioned, and mashes them together to create an easy to use workbook that ensures you stay motivated for the long haul.
No doubt, you’ll have to be motivated to even consider buying a resource like this, but its motivational power comes from helping you stay focused, zeroed-in and engaged to take action on your goals long enough for you to actually achieve them.

Leaders in any profession need to make sure that team morale is at an optimum level, and there is no institution in dire need of a constant morale boost other than the military because trainings and drills can get monotonous after a certain period of time.
Military leaders need to keep their squads motivated 24/7 and ready for any and all situations. The military has always relied on insignias and emblems in maintaining that esprit-de-corps within their squads. Hence, morale patches originate from the military and have played an integral part in uplifting the morale of military personnel.
Fun Fact: Did you know that John J. Pershing, a senior US army military commander, was one of the pioneers involved in creating morale patches for his units? Without him, the idea of morale-boosting, sports, military, or scouts patches might not have existed today.

The Official Top 100 Motivational Blogs From Around The World
Why do we recommend such a thing? It’s because we know striving for goals and dream-chasing isn’t easy. Hustling, grinding, and reaching for our dreams is no walk in the park.
In fact, just about every person who is striving for a goal or a dream will at some point lose their motivation during their pursuit. Of course you won’t fully lose your motivation, nor will it be forever.
But you’ll have your down days. As such, it is our aim is to minimize such occurrences. So how do we plan on doing this?
Well, here’s how…
We plan to help you better strive for your potential and reach for your dreams by providing you with a few awesome resources…100 of them actually. But, these are not just any resources, these are 100 of the most encouraging and motivational blogs from around the world.

We’ve been keeping track of the very best and most popular motivational blogs since 2017. And without fail, we’ve updated this list every year since.
Some of the blogs listed have an inspirational and self-improvement focus, but the common thread among them all is their ability to motivate you to be, do, and have more. A handful of the motivational blogs listed are quite mainstream, so you may already be aware of them.
However, there are others that are up-and-coming sites that provide immense value, and are highly motivational as well.
“People Often Say That Motivation Doesn’t Last. Well, Neither Does Bathing – That’s Why We Recommend It Daily.”
– Zig Ziglar –
What is Motivation?
Before we get into the rankings, let’s briefly discuss what motivation is. Why? Because clarity leads to awareness, awareness leads to better decisions, and better decisions leads to better results.
One of our favorite definitions of motivation, is simply, “Motivation is the driving force by which humans achieve their goals.” We like it because it sums up why we all want to be motivated. We all want to achieve something.
Another great definition of motivation is “Motivation as the state or condition of being motivated or having a strong reason to act or accomplish something.”
Both definitions speak to the fact that most people want to be motivated to achieve. They both demonstrate that we all wish accomplish those things we’ve made up their minds to do, and know that feeling motivated plays a big part in how much success we find.

The Ranking
In the past the ranking used for these motivational blogs was acquired by using Alexa rankings; however, Alexa was unplugged a couple years ago. As such we’ve employed a different ranking methodology for this year’s list. The rankings below have been determined by the popularity of each site. We’ve compiled an estimated monthly search volume for each site listed using the combined services of Ahrefs, SEMRush, and UberSuggest.
Now, we know traffic doesn’t necessarily convey how “motivational” a blog or site is, but it does demonstrate a level of value that the market and search engines have placed on them, which is why we’ve chosen to use monthly traffic as a ranking factor.
With that being said, the rankings on this resource page may change over the course of the year, as traffic volumes for sites change seasonally. Also, some of the motivational sites listed may be ranked lower than you’d expect based off your own experience with the brand, but that’s because the site’s listed below do not account for a blogs/brands YouTube traffic and audience.
At the moment, this is the most comprehensive list of motivational blogs on the internet for 2025. So, check each of them out, and allow them to keep you fired up to unleash your potential daily.
Without further ado, here is your list:
Top Motivational Blogs
Note: The traffic volumes listed above are estimates based off of our research at the time of our rankings. The figures do change from month to month.

It has been said that the pen is mightier than the sword. And the reason for this is because words are powerful. They can beautify, inspire, and add to life, just as they can equally diminish and destroy. And it doesn’t take many words to do either. In fact, sometimes two words is it all it takes to get the job done. To demonstrate this point of fact, we’ve pulled together some of the most powerful two-word quotes of all time.
