Motivational quotes

[jessicadazzler97]

 The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced those who don't like motivational quotes are the ones who need them the most.

Jess, might I ask.....you mentioned going home to Old Blighty

to continue your education in September.

And yet, you're still here.......buying gowns for a ball in Sydney?

Care to enlighten?    Or not motivated to further your education?

 Couldn't bring myself to leave my 3 year old cousin 🙂 She's like my little girl 🙂

 Yes, to all you mature ladies, a young lady is capable of loving and caring for a child just as well as you 😮

Age has nothing to do with loving and caring for a child...no one loved their grand children and great grandchildren and great great granddaughter more than my mother...she was 46 when she took on the full time care of my niece...on the other side of the coin I was 17 when I had my first baby and my husband  I managed to raise her...I also didn't have the luxury of giving her back to her mother, which I presume you do with your cousin, when I needed a break.

For someone who posts schmaltzy motivational quotes you are pretty quick to stick the boot in when someone dares to disagree with you or ask you a question....your dig at mature ladies was completely unneccessary...did it make you feel superior in some way?

I took it as a complement acknowledging that mature ladies love and care for children, but, I am struggling with the "ladies" bit.

If someone is guided by their conscience throughout their entire life, a quote won't make much difference 😛 But it might also serve as a reflection that they couldn't put into words, or as a simple reminder that they are on the right (or wrong) track to what they really want.

 Perhaps those people who don't like any form of inspirational and/or motivational message are content with their lives to remain unchanged; content for seasons to come and go without any form of growth, and without any desire to better themselves. Perhaps they don't like quotes because it actually makes them stop and think for a moment that they are unsatisfied with their lives and how they themselves are dealing with it.

you make it sound like its wrong for a person to be content with who they are and where they are in their life journey.

I agree...I am perfectly content with my life just as it is.

As for why people don't like inspirational/motivational quotes, jessica...have you ever thought that it might be because they simply don't...no underlying, deep meaning...they just don't like them.

I think those who are happy with their life have reached a level of contentment that others continue to strive for. Nothing wrong with either. There are times when  a motivational quote will resonate and times when they don't.
