Not sure how this is motivational. I mean sure, for things that have no consequences but many people have issues that do have dire consequences. I was just reading an article about a woman and her daughter (who happens to have health issues) about to become homeless because she bought a place that had tenants and months later, they're choosing to not leave nor pay rent. Poor woman is about to be homeless because she's already spent her life savings paying the mortgage on a property she can't even move into while paying rent to where she is living and she's run out of money and she's about to be evicted.

She's been trying to find a solution for months. So if she doesn't figure it out, it's not ok.

Ok, that does make a lot more sense. Thanks for clarifying.

I always get a “fuck it, nothing really matters anyway” vibe from these type of “motivational” posters. There are certainly many things that, if not figured out, will definitely not be ok.

You found a pretty extreme example for which this isn’t motivational. That doesn’t mean the message in general is unhelpful.

Lots of people overthink and worry about small, inconsequential things. This post is helpful for them.
