"Be your dreams!". "A friend just knows." "Do what you love. Love what you do."
And so it goes on. Every day Pinterest, the dank walls of lightless cubicles and the Facebook pages of someone you met a 'bonding awayday' in 2009 become ever-more densely filled with pictures of bridges, kittens, wisftul looking ladies on beaches or verdant forest paths covered in 'inspiring words'.
They are not inspiring. They are rubbish. Half of them don't make sense, and most of them are signed "anon", or "unknown" or with the names of people who made their fortune writing Hallmark greeting cards. The ones that are attributed to someone you have heard of do not sound probable. For e.g.:
"Reach for the Stars!"
Winston Churchill
"Be the reason someone smiles today"
Charles Dickens
"One day someone is going to hug you so tight all your broken pieces will stick together."
Jane Austen
This is all rubbish, so I have invented some motivational posters that will help negotiate the bore-infested workplace that you, dear reader and/or fan are forced to negotiate every day. OK here goes.

I love the first one. It is so apt.
Yep. First one is a big fave. Used frequently. At least in my head. Z
The first one is a blinder, in fact given to me by a most excellent chap by the name of Dan. Also HELLO AGAIN.
