Yeah that's some toxic bullshit right there.

Motivational things like this lead to 60 hour weeks, burnout and depression.

They also lead to this depressed slug getting off the couch and exercising, to the house getting clean and wearing clean clothes, and having groceries. I don’t like most housework and I openly detest most physical activity. But…. I am healthier and mentally calmer when I force myself to do those things.

And that's good. But you know where I've heard that from too? Management when they've denied me days off, made me work every weekend for a year, calling at 2 a.m. to cover a shift. That's where that becomes toxic.

This motivation doesn’t work for you and that’s okay, but that doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. This quote is saying you have to get through the hard to get to the good sometimes, it’s not about jobs
