Gary A. McAbee Bio:

Gary Alexander McAbee is an author, blogger, and motivational speaker who has programs on goal setting, achievement and using various leadership strategies,  skills and development techniques. Gary has   become one of the  up-and-coming speakers in his field  and his teachings over the years have impacted people from all walks of life.

Gary A. McAbee was born and raised in the inner-city neighborhood of Greenville in Jersey City, NJ. During his formative years, he witnessed the struggles of many who were caught in the cycle of violence, broken homes, and a lack of education. However, his surroundings did not limit his determination to succeed. Gary refused to be another statistic and vowed to make something of his life and have a positive impact on society.  In order to accomplish this goal, Gary left Jersey City for the steel city of Pittsburgh, PA to attend Duquesne University. However, he never lost touch with his hometown or the needs of the struggling community he left behind.

During a stint in the retail industry, Gary became a district trainer and mentor to many of his employees. At this point, one of them suggested that Gary should consider teaching. This suggestion hit home because he always had a passion for education as a means to give hope to those who felt hopeless.  After much deliberation, Gary left the comfort and security of his job to pursue an advanced degree in education. Additionally, he laid the groundwork for creating his first company, ABE! Sports and Entertainment Management.

For the next few years, Gary would vacillate between pursuing his dream to use education as a means to help people improve their lives or continue to move up the “corporate ladder.”  Being in limbo opened the door to self-doubt and several obstacles to accomplishing his goals. It took moving back to his hometown to re-energize and refocus.  His inspiration was a neglected, trash-laden, vacant Jersey City lot that served as a painful, yet potent visual reminder.  As a result, Gary became a teacher and counselor on the secondary, community college, and university levels. He has made a positive impact and influenced many people to use education as a tool that can lead to greater success and a better life.

Gary created Motivation for the World, which is the platform for his motivational speaking and writing. He spent over twenty years researching and writing. As a result, the book WAKE UP! 42 Ways to Improve Black America Now became the first volume of his work. In volume two, RISE UP! 42 Additional Ways to Improve Black America Now, he built upon his philosophy based on careful study and analysis of some of the highest achievers and most successful people in our history.

Thanks to his experiences as a teacher, Gary laid out a series of keywords that could be used by his students to define their success. This knowledge, along with his personal beliefs and experiences, have been blended together to create the self-improvement guide Defining Success: One Word at a Time. As his next project, he took the keywords in Defining Success, and created a daily dose of motivation for 2021. Daily themes such as Monday Motivation, Wednesday Wisdom, and Friday Feeling provide real-world examples in his latest book Motivation for the World 2021.

The Mission:

My philosophy is simple. Always be honest and open with people. I believe that everyone has something to offer and I always have something to give. Therefore, it is my duty to respect and honor all people for their contributions and their potential.

The Vision:

My vision is to be a leader in the field of motivational speaking and to write best-selling inspirational books for people of all walks of life.

Motivation for the World August 2026

garyISmotivation in 2026

My message for August 2026 is about overcoming those dark periods in life we all experience. I think of it as going through a dark, gloomy, rainy day. No one likes those days, but they are sure to come. We can compare these days to moments in life, I call them seasons, in which it seems like nothing is going right. For me, this seems to happen a lot. But it is in those dry seasons that I realize how quickly things can change. The sun will come out tomorrow.

My main point is to avoid wallowing in misery or at least trying to avoid staying in that mental state for too long. Instead, do whatever it takes to improve your mental outlook. In turn, your current state of being will improve. And before you know it, you will be experiencing better days. Your dark, gloomy season will make way for better day and a brighter future. I know it sounds cliché, but the sun will come out tomorrow!

My most recent Motivation from the Car video talks about the end of our gloomy past, and the start of a better season in the sun…

Motivation from the Car #91:

The Sun will come out TOMORROW!

Motivation for the World July 2026

garyISmotivation in 2026

My message July 2026 is about freedom. We are celebrating our nation’s 250th birthday this month. Regardless of your feelings about it, the underlying principle of it is our freedom. But there is an old saying that with freedom comes responsibility. It is our responsibility to protect our freedom, and the freedom of others. Our mission should be to enjoy our freedom while refusing to interfere with the freedom of others. I like to think about it as the responsibility of loving all and serving all. I call it helping each other to become more successful. I believe it is treating others in the way we want to be treated. This my friends is true freedom. This should be our mission in July 2026 and beyond!

My most recent Motivation from the Car video talks about the need to remember our freedom comes with tremendous responsibility…

Motivation from the Car #90: Freedom is your responsibility!

Motivation for the World June 2026

garyISmotivation in 2026

My message June 2026 is about the story of a man who is in a cave digging to find diamonds. He has been in the cave for a while, digging tirelessly and hoping to find his treasure. It’s hard work, but he perseveres. He gets weary and tired, but he perseveres. At some point he starts to believe his efforts will never produce the result he is seeking. By continuing to dig, he starts to think he is wasting his time. But what he doesn’t know is the elusive treasure is just a few feet away. All he has to do is dig a little bit more. However, just when the prized diamonds are within reach, the man decides to give up. He stops digging and leaves the cave empty-handed.

Now think about your life, your efforts, and your opportunities. How many times have you felt like the man in the story? No mater how hard you try, you just can’t seem to break through. All the digging you have done still has not resulted in you finding your treasure! So, what are you gonna do? Are you going to give up, or are you going to keep digging? I suggest that you rest if you must. Refocus if you must. Recharge if you must. Then keep digging. Your treasure could be a lot closer than you think. Don’t give up. Find your diamonds!

My most recent Motivation from the Car video talks about the need to preserve and keep digging to find your treasure…

Motivation from the Car #89: Keep Digging!

Motivation for the World May 2026

garyISmotivation in 2026

My message for May 2026 is inspired by my pastor and his most recent message series. He has been laying groundwork for overcoming fear and defeating our GIANTS. Of course, it is based on the story of David and Goliath. Our GIANTS are the obstacles, challenges, and endless tasks that we face every day. Some of these challenges are so big that they frighten us and create fear. When this happens, too many of us simply live with our GIANTS instead of taking them on. Our fears are in total control.

However, there are some things we all can do immediately to overcome our fear and battle against our GIANTS. We need to trust God, pray, and turn over our battles to Him. Then, we need to build our faith before we get direction about how to overcome our fears. Next, when we receive guidance from God, we need to confront our challenges immediately. Avoid the naysayers, declare your power to defeat your GIANTS, and take the necessary steps to become victorious. You will be glad you did!

My most recent Motivation from the Car video talks about things you can do to overcome your fear to defeat your GIANTS…

Motivation for the World April 2026

garyISmotivation in 2026

My message for April 2026 is about my new favorite bible verse- Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.- Joshua 1:9

This bible verse speaks for itself. If you fear anything, understand your fear is not from God. It also says to be strong and have courage, even when fear is present. You can face your fear because God is always with you. It’s that simple!

My most recent Motivation from the Car video talks about Joshua 1:9…

Motivation for the World March 2026

garyISmotivation in 2026

My message for March 2026 is a message I heard in church that resonated with me so much that I had to use it. We all experience changes in life. Some of these changes feel like battles. These battles may be things we expect, but more often than not, these challenges are things we do not expect. Most of us will take the initial blow when challenges occur, then immediately plan our strategy and try to push forward to overcome our issues. Sometimes this approach works, sometimes it doesn’t. However, most of these battles require a different approach. Yes it sounds cliché, but most of these battles are not ours to fight. They belong to Our Creator to fight on our behalf. All we need to do is ask for assistance from God, and be obedient when HE provides the guidance we need to fight our battles.

My most recent Motivation from the Car video talks about our battles.

Motivation for the World February 2026

garyISmotivation in 2026

My message for February 2026 is all about love! My idea is to understand your love language. What is love language? Love language is usually applied between two people. It is when their communication styles match so perfectly that the final result is love. We have all experienced this with our spouses, significant others, friends, and even family members. But this is not the love language I want to discuss. I want to talk about your love language with yourself. What things do you do and say to yourself that make you fall in love with YOU? Fall in love with yourself by finding your love language!

Let’s try it this way. First, are you speaking positive language and positive affirmations in your daily life and activities? Maybe doing this is your love language to yourself! Are you communicating with people who feed your soul with positive thoughts and good vibes. Maybe doing this is your love language to yourself! Are you going to places that are exciting and bring out the best in you? Maybe doing this is your love language to yourself! Finally, are you getting the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual healing we all need on a daily basis? Maybe doing this is your love language to yourself! Fall in love with yourself by finding your love language!

My latest video on my Motivation for the World YouTube channel contains a special message for you to fall in love with yourself by finding your love language!

Motivation for the World January 2026

garyISmotivation in 2026

My message for January 2026 is to be more positive. I want YOU to accept the challenge of using one positive affirmation to counter every negative thought you have. By doing this, you will recognize how often negative thoughts creep in and take hold. Then you can counter those thoughts with positive ones. The amazing thing that happens is that your brain will seize on those positive thoughts and attract the tools, resources, and people to help YOU move forward. So take the challenge and think positive thoughts in 2026!

My latest video on my Motivation for the World YouTube channel contains a special message for you to jumpstart 2026.

Motivation for the World December 2025

My message for December is that we made it through another year. If you’re like me, you experienced some successes and some failures in 2025. We all did! Now it is time to assess the good things that happened this year, learn from the bad things, and plan for success in 2026. I don’t mean that you should wallow in misery if things did not go as planned. Instead, quickly reflect and then redirect your efforts toward more positive results in 2026.

I am fully convinced 2026 will be the year of my big breakthrough. I sincerely hope you are gearing up for your big breakthrough too. To get there, use this month to get prepared. Enjoy the holiday season! Celebrate and enjoy friends and family! But be sure to close out 2025 on a high note by taking care of yourself. Do this by planning for 2026. Write down your goals. Create an action plan. Think about potential obstacles. Figure out ways to overcome those challenges. Finally, reward yourself for the small victories you will experience along the way. When you do these things, 2026 will be the year of your big breakthrough!
 
My latest Motivation from the Car video reminds you to set yourself up for a successful 2026!

Motivation for the World November 2025

My message for November 2025 is to be intentional this month in preparation for better days ahead. When we get into November, it means it is officially Fall. We set the clocks back one hour. We celebrate Thanksgiving. Then we notice the year is almost over and dan did it go quickly! If you’re like me, you start to wonder if you accomplished anything this year and think about getting something done before the year is over. At this point, I recommend you should be intentional with everything you do this month (and until the end of the year).

Be intentional with your time. Be intentional with your entire family. Be intentional with your friends. Be intentional with your thoughts and plans. Be intentional with your actions. But what does this mean? It means you must remain in the moment, present, and fully aware of what you are doing for the remainder of this year. Limit and avoid all distractions. FOCUS! It will help you send out 2025 on a high note, while preparing you for an even better year in 2026. BE INTENTIONAL!
 
My latest video on my Motivation for the World YouTube channel is about the concept of being intentional with your time, energy, and commitment. Enjoy!

Motivation from the Car Video #82:
Be Intentional!

2025 is YOUR year! Believe in YOURSELF!
