"The reinforcing power of quotes is too valuable to just put them up on the wall (or hide them between our dusty notes). They must be spread, implemented, and lived."
"When I come across a quote that speaks to me, it’s more than just thoroughly agreeing. I feel like I’ve always known its message but have never been able to put it into words like this."
Your article was like an extended quote. I kept nodding with resonance all the way through, appreciating the resonance with my own experience of quotes. I really like "motivational decor" which I think can live in the mind as much as it can in the waiting room of a dental office or fitness room. There's a real delight in discovering a turn of phrase that brings new life to a needed form of inspiration. The spirit needs fresh word food to sustain itself.

Favorite quote of yours from this piece: "They are reminders of what I know deep down but don't always have top of mind." :)
