    I think there are some, if not many, people in the world who are "all talk" when it comes to promoting some sort of change- be it at a personal level or a collective level within society.

If you're looking at this segment's title, this week's Marcus's Monday "Motivational" is going to seem less than motivating because something needs to be said about how we as people will complain about any and everything, point fingers at any and everyone else except ourselves in terms of ownership and accountability for our own actions, and how we'll never be fully satisfied with who and what we have.
