You described what I've been thinking as well, lately.

Self-help has become a wide, global business which has lost its authenticity.

Everyone is an influencer or motivator now. The question I always have when I read random inspirational quotes from random people is:

"Yes, all good and dandy, but what did YOU DO?"

"What are YOUR flaws, and how do you handle them?"

I want to read content from people who know what struggling means, who are striving for something meaningful and have to overcome certain demons. I'll read from someone who truly wants to understand - and help - their audience.

I like it when you explore different avenues, my friend. Still one of my favourite writers on the platform!
