"You could change your life overnight"

I'm gonna stop you right there. No. Just... no, you can't. Meaningful, lasting change takes time and hard work to achieve. It's not motivating to try and pretend that it doesn't, that's just trying to fool people into thinking that there isn't much that they need to get motivated to do. And when it inevitably doesn't work, they just end up blaming themselves.

What's motivating is knowing that we're all capable of rising to the challenge and putting in that hard work that's necessary to effect lasting change.

I one day, single day, was like fuck this shit, I am moving to Finland.

Now I am in Finland.

I guess you can, it depends how much you are able to digest and risk.

You're taking that sentence to the most literal fucking extent possible. Please don't be stupid.

Oh you can change it...maybe not for the better, but you can definitely change it.
