The point is that the phrase will not change your life circumstances and could lead to complacency, if your issue is fixable. For example - if you’re obese, you could lose the weight and be healthier almost guaranteed, or you could declare “I’m perfect the way I am” and continue to slowly overdose on sugar until you die.

Now, if you’re permanently scarred, something you cannot just change. This is where I think this phrase can add some value to people’s lives.

The OP is probably tired of seeing normal people say this to other normal people. When you do that, you’re really not helping anyone to grow.

Yeah i suppose i get what you mean. However i do think that it doesn't lead to complacency most of the time, as people are often able to place the phrase in some sort of context and see that it shouldn't affect their actual life(style) choices.
