Keep in mind this is just my own personal experience from seeing the occasional r/GetMotivated post on the front page, as well as my own experiences with depression, but a lot of posts I see are based on success stories. Which CAN be motivating, but to others can be more of an obstacle, like "Okay they did it but it's unrealistic and would never work for me"

I think the best example I can give is the scene from the beginning of Shrek, where he reads the happy ending to the fairy tale, and immediately follows it up with "Like that's ever gonna happen"
