A different story, the same person
Life is not always fair to everyone, some get it right at the first go, while others simply require multiple shots to get it right. The bad part is that some simply never get it right at all and may feel like they simply got the short end of the stick from life at the end.
But a bad story at any point in life is never the end, it is simply a start to a much greater story. It is the beginning of what was thought to be the end. A man's life is never decided by how he was born or lived the early stages, it is determined by how he died at the end of his story. You don't need to become another person to be great, you need to become a better you.
I was going through my whatsapp status last night and I saw a video explaining how the most successful people became the way they were. The truth is most of these individuals did not seek to simply become rich (not to that extent they found themselves) nor famous, they strove to provide services that will change the face of humanity. Those services rendered became the pivot point for the millions and billions of dollars that followed.
We all have choices in this story I mentioned, we can choose to remain stagnant and feel sorry for ourselves, or we can choose to keep fighting and striving to provide services that will change the face of humanity forever. We can choose to go out like a weakling or we can choose to go out like the warrior/king we were made to be.
I always tell people to look at the silver lining attached to every bad beginning, that way when others simply see the bad, you see the hidden good in it. I mention warrior/king in the paragraph above, let me explain it. A man suffering without effort is the weakling who has simply resigned to fate. A man who dies struggling, but never made it to the ranks of Warren Buffet is considered a warrior and this is so because while the world might simply see a man who never hit it big despite his struggles, he is actually in fact someone who put in effort to make that difference. The king becomes a king when he gets everything else.
You truly win a fight when you refuse to lose. No matter how terribly we started, we have a choice to decide how we would like our end to be. We can either choose the hero's ending (which truth be told), or we can take the easy way out.
You can rewrite a different story if you set your mind to it. You could have a different story yet be the same man.

LIFE IS NEVER FAIR!
Some get what they want, others get what they don't. But no matter what you get from life, always be grateful. Why should you always be grateful? Simply because in life :
So, thank God for what you have.
Be grateful for it....

Nice post
Very well said. I am a big believer in perseverance and defiance in the face of adversity. I am against self pity, I am against excuses. When life throws it’s twists and turns, successful people will see it as a challenge and tackle them head on, while those you are not so successful will grab it as an excuse and a reason to stop trying.
I would have said nice post @ehiboss but you are known for delivering excellently. This all boils down to fear. Some are afraid to enter try because they don't want to fail. While some are afraid to try again because they failed the first time. Too many of us are not leaving our dreams, we are living our fears forgetting that the fears we don't face becomes our limits. Life is not fair , but have you been fair to life? How much have you struggled to make out of the lil opportunities life has thrown to you? Persistency and consistency will always be the key word.
A question that if frankly answered will revolutionize mankind
As the Bible puts it
What really matters is how much impact we made on this world even after we are gone. What ever we go through while on earth is but a phase that is going to fade off.
Thanks for the words of inspiration @ehiboss
wow this sky with a very beautiful sun,
That's such a great encouragement. Never give up. As they say, you only lose if you give up. Keep fighting and you'll make it through.
It is up to us to write our own tale, to mould greatness from the dust that we are made of. No one has this responsibility but us. No one said it will be easy, no one said it will be fun but everyone says that it is possible.
All you have to do is to wake up and show up at living, not just existing. You might not become a Warren Buffet but you will definitely become a better you. Peace.
Thank you @ehiboss for this.
