Life isn’t fair. It isn’t going to be fair. Stop sniveling and whining and go out and make it happen for you. (John Maxwell)

Once again I believe this is a quote from John Maxwell. It might be that some other person actually said it and John just quoted him in the book, but I seem to remember that these were actually words coming from his own pen.

But, take a look at it once again. I don't think much explanation needs to be made in order to understand the importance of this.

Life isn’t fair. It isn’t going to be fair. Stop sniveling and whining and go out and make it happen for you.

We often expect life to treat us nicely and to take care of us. But, the truth is, normally life will not touch us with silk gloves. Instead, life will throw us around into all kinds of situations and struggles, and we will have a hard time coping with everything happening around us. It is easy to feel like victims in the midst of this and it is easy to complain and say that life isn't fair. But, should that really stop you and me? Not at all!

Instead of complaining, you have to go out and make sure that life is progressing in the direction that you want it to progress. Make sure that the things happen that you want to happen.

Life will not bring you forward on a straight road. But, you need to have the goal ahead of you, so that even in the midst of a turn, you will know in which direction you are headed. If you live like that, you will make life happen for you, instead of just whining and sniveling!
