Unmotivational quotes

I loathe motivational quotes.   Here are some better ones.

  1. Oh, I adored this post. It was so funny.

    There are occasionally motivational quotes that I find useful, but I must agree that a lot of them miss the mark.

    Did you come up with these unmotivational quotes yourself, or did you find them somewhere?

    1. Oh no, Lydia, I wouldn't know how to start! I was talking with a couple of people on Twitter about how ghastly and pointless most motivational quotes are, and I put 'worst inspirational quotes' into Google, to put this together for them!!

    1. Don't forget the sunsets and rainbows...!! I love the dreams on (though it could have been phrased better!) and the natural causes. And oh yes, the Abe Lincoln one....

  3. I might slip some of these into my news feed on my motivational Facebook group and see if they notice ;)

    1. Ha ha ha!!! And a big 'attagirl' to you for not being sniffy about me taking the piss, because I know you're into all this motivational stuff!! You could try the natural causes one, but I think the dreams one might affect your book sales...!! xxx

    1. Thanks! So weird, something I cobbled together in 10 minutes (or less than!) to amuse Carl Rackman and A Bloke Dyslexic on Twitter and haven't even tweeted - and it's become my most viewed blog post after the alcohol post which is almost always my most viewed (think it must have caught a hashtag somewhere!) and the most popular of those wretched Plague video game walkthroughs that I sometimes wish I'd never done.... go figure!!!!

    1. And I take ages replying to them because I have to log onto another browser to comment on blogger (God knows why!) so I wait until I have a few to answer!!!
