Ok so if I can't afford to find even a simple therapist finding a good one lol !

Always those with money giving life advice.

They think they have figured out some other secret other than freedom to make mistakes because they have the financial backing to make them is what sets them apart.

Life is full of people thinking that if other follow their exact steps it will work without realizing the things they have differently, such as money and resources, even just skills or biological quirks, do make quite the difference in being able to followed.

I'm not against them sharing it worked for them but that's as far as I feel it goes.

Just because the variables are different doesn't mean you can't find a correct answer. There are no two situations that are the exact same. The comic is just a success story for motivation.. is it really that deep? Pessimism must be exhausting.

In life there really isn't correct answers. There are your answers. Everything comes with a heavy dose of reality being complicated.
I would say it doesn't really speak to motivation. Their motivation was to leave everything behind and start over which isn't very motivating past being able to do so. It doesn't lead to happiness it just changes the days you have which may feel better while it still feels new.

Everything we share is a chance for others to understand us more. It might not be deep but it is a perspective shared that I'm just pushing back against.

Is it really pessimistic to just disagree with a point of view that I find to be a poor message or is it that way cause you want to assume the motivation is correct to handling life?

Why can't it just be that this is my perspective that I share out for others?
