Motivational Motives is a composite of parables put forth and prepared to help the reader confront childhood trauma and manage inevitable circumstances of life. Many of the characters of Motivational Motives were placed or conveniently placed themselves in a proverbial bubble that can be popped by anyone labeled as an authority figure, powerful, or better than the masses based on race, creed, economic status, or permissible accolade. The context of the manuscript encourages the reader to examine and place themselves in the position of the characters and truly identify the Motivational Reasoning for their Initiative (MRI).
