Squash Motivational Quotes

WHEN YOU WORK FOR OTHERS, YOU ARE AT THEIR MERCY. THEY OWN YOUR WORK; THEY OWN YOU. YOUR CREATIVE SPIRIT IS SQUASHED. WHAT KEEPS YOU IN SUCH POSITIONS IS A FEAR OF HAVING TO SINK OR SWIM ON YOUR OWN. INSTEAD YOU SHOULD HAVE A GREATER FEAR OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU REMAIN DEPENDENT ON OTHERS FOR POWER. YOUR GOAL IN EVERY MANEUVER IN LIFE MUST BE OWNERSHIP, WORKING THE CORNER FOR YOURSELF. WHEN IT IS YOURS TO LOSE-YOU ARE MORE MOTIVATED, MORE CREATIVE, MORE ALIVE. THE ULTIMATE POWER IN LIFE IS TO BE COMPLETELY SELF-RELIANT, COMPLETELY YOURSELF.

Sometimes I feel like a little spider that people want to squash under the soles of their boots, and for the life of me I can’t figure out why.

Life always squashes death. Love always soothes sadness.

We've got to squash this dewy-eyed belief that people can be motivated by anything other than money.

Motivation is a wonderful by-product of action. It’s that great feeling you get when you are on your way out of the gym, not on your way in. It’s that feeling of energy and momentum you get once you have started something and your brain and body start to rise to the challenge for you. Sometimes the feeling is fleeting. At other times it lasts for much longer. Much of that will depend on all the other factors that are either working to foster it or squash it.

I am criticizing the professionalization of teaching children because these young human beings are not cogs in a machine, And I am trying to identify the root of the problem for all those wonderful adults who went into teaching thinking that they could commit to nurturing the lives of many children only to end up having the system squash their excellent motives. Our current school system replicates factories and requires classroom managers more than teachers. Teachers are appreciably frustrated.

We need to be willing to set aside the distractions and the next task because reaching our children’s hearts requires our attention. Love slows down and listens. Listen to your children’s hearts. Listen to their fears. Listen to their dreams. Listen to their concerns. Love encourages. It spurs children on without squashing them in the process. Love inspires, casting a vision for doing better. God’s love motivates our obedience to love Him back. Instead of harsh discipline that breaks the spirit, let’s remember how our Father lovingly corrects us and reminds us of His unconditional love. Let us do the same for those He has entrusted to us.

Ideally, the top, mid, and bottom systems work together in a well-balanced network of communication and mutual support, with none being squashed or overly dominant. The top brain, with its conscious awareness and wisdom, guides and corrals the energy and stimulation of the core emotions in our bottom brain, while the midlevel continually creates stored patterns of behaviors—some of which may be getting in our way. So the core emotions are necessary to keep us current, informing us of our needs, motivating us to get out in the world, and driving us to stay in balance.
