Motivational

Here are instances of quotes conveying positive, motivational messages. While the first quote (or saying) may not have a name attached to it, the visual elements of the softly colored wood and heart help in evoking a sense of calm and tranquility. Honestly, it looks like something one might buy at an arts and crafts store and hang in their house. Especially since the message complements its natural aesthetic.

The second quote here is aesthetically more simplistic than the first one, but this time we have a name to attribute the quote to; Alan Watts was a British philosopher who lived during the mid-20^th century. The message here feels more like advice in modern day. While the context of what Watts was using this quote in is unknown, the quote itself holds an arguably profound pertinence in the now. One of the most difficult things to balance in life is work and passion; we often get so caught up in our everyday lives of what we consider ‘work’ and forget why we chose to do this in the first place. And maybe work isn’t a choice for everyone—but if taking Watts’s advice and insisting it is play, maybe that weighty load will feel a little lighter.
