It’s funny that motivational inspiration is something that captures us in the moment and guides us to a better life, but the feeling dissipates all too quickly – and that’s why we need daily motivational quotes to push us forward.
That’s what I found Smope was so good at – daily motivational quotes that are designed to encourage and get you going through the day. But Smope is an app which links to all the photos you take on your iPhone and post up on Instagram.
Every day I like to take a photo and each morning I will publish a photo of something going on around me. Smope will create a random inspirational quote that will bring that big smile to your face.
Your task is to take as many photos of what is going on around you, the people you meet and spend quality time with: then select the amount of photos you want the app to leave you inspirational quotes on and choose the time of day you want those quotes to fall into your inbox.
I chose the long commute on the train every morning while I was going off to work. As I sat in the carriage and watched all the people with their headphones on, stuck in a world of their own and not communicating with anybody else, I suddenly thought to myself: I could do with some real motivation and inspiration right now.
But you can choose the time of day when you want Smope to send you its inspirational quote; some may wish for it to be sent at 10 p.m. or in the very hour before they go off to bed. This could allow for your dreams and sleep pattern to digest the message and hopefully dream about it.
Your photos are taken (by you) and the app will add the smile and the quote to it. But it’s gets better because when you receive your quote linked with your picture and a smile, you will see a bit of real magic applied to your photo right before your very eyes. As you receive your original picture back with the quote and a smile, it suddenly turns black and white, then goes back to colour again and displays as though a sprinkle of magic has been applied to the picture.
Smope is a feel good app which sets out to remind us that good things DO happen, we can always discover happiness again and our future in always going to be brighter than the past.
