It is not supposed to be comforting at all.

Well motivating then? How is it motivating? It is supposed to be that since that's the name of the sub, but I equally don't see that.

The point of the quote is, roughly, having the world force you to be someone who you aren’t really sucks, and the way to defend yourself from that is to know who you are. The motivation it seeks to conjure up in you is the desire to become clear in your own mind as to who you are.
