You've seen inspirational quotes and motivational affirmations in memes and viral content in your social feeds for years.
They've become so prevalent that if a day goes by without seeing some kind of positive affirmation or motivational quote that you think something is wrong with the internet.
The truth is we all love a good quote to remind us of what can be achieved when you put your mind to a task. Whether that be happiness, motivation, wealth or health, a good quote by someone you respect is a great way to start your day. There's no better way to start the day than by sipping a hot late at your kitchen bench as the sun breaks through the garden in delicious golden rays beneath some heart-warming words.
"Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away"
These kinds of quotes are inspirational because they're aspirational. You see in them what you want to become and as you read the words, your brain sends signals to your body as if the thing you just read actually happened. Why?
According to Gwen Moran at Fast Company, the answer appears to lie in a combination of good wordsmithing, motivational psychology, and a measure of self-selection.
Ward Farnsworth is the dean of the University of Texas School of Law and according to him, there's also an element of primal nature involved, especially when the quote is attributed to someone you respect, like a role model or leader. Although you don't like to admit it, you do like to follow people you respect. It's why the quotes of your favourite actors, authors, musicians and philosophers resonate so deeply with you.
With all of these data-driven scientific reasons why quotes make you feel great, it's no surprise that motivational quotes are amongst some of our best-selling wall stickers.
