Probably, I just saw this on the frontpage. It's hard to give motivational advice that's meaningful when it's so generic.
Specific motivational advice is way more meaningful - tailored to context. "If you're trying to go to the gym and having trouble building a routine, you can do such and such to try to fix that". Or "If you're having trouble with compulsive eating, here are some ways to make food and kinds of food to make that can help". That sort of stuff.
Super generic motivation is that "hang in there" kitty picture.

This is really great advice for people who are in decent health - mental and physical, have enough money to be comfortable, and feel emotionally unfulfilled.
For anyone with real problems, this is fucking bullshit and insulting. Literally just "feel better".

Every love is a once-in-a-lifetime love. Your next one will be once-in-a-lifetime, just like this one.

I think motivational advice is more useful when it's more targeted. Specific issues that have specific actionable things that can be tried. Presented not as "this will fix your issue" but as "this is something to try and see if it works for you".
