I’d buy a print in a heartbeat. Love it! Feeling very motivated! Thank you!

What’s the logic behind this?

This is very bad advice for people who are struggling.

That's a really nice cloud. Good work :)

And actions don't speak as loud as the talkers, by far. The only way to counter that is do the necessary actions and talk about the results, a lot. Of course, those who only talk save the time they should have spent acting (which should be the majority), so it is an uphill battle. But slowly, people will notice. As Henry Ford said: "You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do".

There is actually a bit of reasoning behind this too.

TLDR: stop talking about it and do it, it’s messing up how your brain gages achievement.

People quit working when they receive a sense of accomplishment .

The shallow reward that they get from announcing their intentions is often enough of an ego boost to fulfill their sense of accomplishment,

They don’t actually put in all of the hard work to do the thing, because they have already gotten their pat on the back.

If you are one of those people that has difficulty finishing things, but loves talking about what you’re going to do, you might want to start using delayed gratification as a carrot.

Nice battery you have right there, mate.

I think this advice is more for those who get caught up in the weeds. I have an insanely hard time talking about my accolades, so in order to ever apply for something new I have to just do it without getting stuck on piling all my awards or making sure my CV represents every little thing I've done. I use to do that and I was societally paralyzed for almost a decade.

Unless you have any psychological condition that leads you to manic or delusional states, then absolutely talk about what you want to do with friends so you can test if it's reasonable or not.

Look. If I talk about it, I get to skip past the hard work and get straight to receiving validation online. *taps head

Finally a motivating post round here :stonks:

Also if you're doing drugs, just stop it.

I am a doer, that speaks about it in the shortest ways

This is so lovely, thanks for sharing!

Yeah, it's important to not just flap out any plan your brain cooks up in the moment. I usually only share plans after I've had a little time to think it through. If nothing else it's just because if you've got nothing to say about it yet then that just makes for an embarrassing conversation.

And ofc there's a big difference between sharing an interest you have and boasting about what great things you will allegedly be doing.

So funny I forgot to laugh.

Must increase skills at-a de penis, yes

Rains kill cactus.

You seem to not live on the Sonoran desert...

Nothing like a motivational cactus to get you through a prickly patch

As someone who rather not boasts, I was advised to share my plans with friends, to get motivated by the encouragement. As well as the accountability.
On the other hand, it is easy to fall into a pattern of just telling people about awesome plans, and collect on that initial praise without having to follow through.

Sometimes I want the motivational energy, sometimes I don't want the pressure.

As with many things in life, it's not about blindly following the one line on the motivional poster, all the time, everytime, and considering the opposite 'the wrong thing'.

Never thought I’d see an Aaliyah quote captioning one from Adventure Time, but here we are
