I read the first as, "Set goals, and don't you [dare] reach [for them]" and the second as "Your high! Stop them ~~until~~". I actually blanked on the last one and had to read it a couple times until I fully processed what it said.

Edit: I don't know why I read the first one right-left, top-bottom and the second top-bottom, left-right.

Welcome to NoSafetySmokingFirst!

For images where the text reads correctly left to right, but visual cues (like colouration, vertical proximity, or horizontal separation) lead you to try to read it top to bottom.

This is similar to, but distinct from, the more widely known “DontDeadOpenInside” format. In that case, the text reads correctly top to bottom, but visual cues (like colouration, horizontal proximity, or vertical separation) lead you to try to read it left to right.
