Some of us are lucky to have things easy while others don’t have it very easy. Either way, it’s up to you to shape your life the way you wish for it to be because I’ve seen people born with silver spoon and ladles in their mouths turn out to live the worst lives years later because they chose to fuck up their lives by making all the wrong decisions they could.
For a while now, I’ve had the opportunity to speak to so many people aspiring for so many things in life and honestly, the zeal with which some people are pushing for what they want in this life is unmatched. Someone somewhere already wants to give up on that one million dollar idea just after the first try. Another person somewhere is giving it a go after the fifth failure. What makes a difference here is how you’re able to bounce, restrategize and make things work for you.
What I’ve learnt from all these discussions and observations is that failure is not an excuse because failure never stopped anyone. I’m guilty of complaining of being exhausted and bla bla bla after any little inconvenience but when I take a look at what others have to deal with, I know I don’t even deserve to complain. Life isn’t just hard, it’s tough. But that doesn’t mean you should keep pushing. If life gives you lemons, make a lemonade or even start a lemon juice company. Whatever it is, just don’t give up cos giving up on your dreams is like giving up on your life.
