Yes, nice message. I also don't usually go for the motivational posts and I have a hard time judging their quality because I am kind of turned off by the whole genre. Not that there is anything wrong with positivity - I am an unrelentingly positive person. I just find the genre to be full of so many hackneyed cliches, the same tired advice recycled over and over. I personally don't see this post elevating itself out of this morass, but that could just be my personal bias. One thing I noticed is that the first image in the post is not cited - this is actually an image that can be found on Pixabay, so why not cite it? And the original section of the post is pretty short, this would need to be quite a bit heavier on the original content for it qualify as "exceptional" in my opinion. Then of course the post concludes with a 30 minute video from a motivational speaker - I am personally a little leary of giving out rewards in the form of upvotes (and certainly would never submit to Curie or otherwise promote) to posts that include videos that the post author does not own the rights to / did not create. Even if the post author credits the content creator, as this post author does, it still doesn't feel right to me that they should receive payment for sharing content that they do not own. Just my two cents
