I believe true success is built not borrowed. Most people tend to misunderstand the unique path of a genuine effort and skill for successful growth. Borrowed success in my own understanding means that when a person attains a status by relying on external factors, it looks like real success. Still, it's unstable because you rely on someone, and it is not completely earned, just like living in a house you don't own.

I believe Success means complete comfort and doesn't crumble under pressure because you are the complete owner. One major thing that inspired me to write about this topic is seeing how some of my friends fake their lives and also like it just to impress a lady or others around them. Some even go to the extent of borrowing their uncles or rich friends' cars to live like they have the money. The truth is, this is not life; life is far more comfortable when you own your wealth and are not under pressure at all.
It's so annoying seeing how people copy someone else's lifestyle. Just because it worked for them that way does not mean it works for us. Stop trying to import someone else's lifestyle that is not true in our own. Things don't work that way. We don't know their stories and scars or whatever they went through, I prefer to be myself rather than trying to look perfect and rich when I know I am not, living a fake life that is not true. Most of my guys do this mostly for ladies just to fake things to attract her to him, which is not meant to be so. I believe Success is rooted and aimed for, not borrowed, because borrowed success always turns out into a negative outcome.

This is why I put in my best and don't fake things in other to become a good man by following the process and smiling through every progress even though it might seems difficult because I know life itself is difficult and it depends on how we want to embrace it because u believe only original efforts build the resillenece and can also survive the storm.
We all aim for success in all our endeavours but why try to fake it or borrow success from people that are personally made already, is it worth it, let's me realistic with ourself, success is a day to day thing, it does not have ending even, Elon musk richest man is aiming for a successful more high in terms of space exploration same also several other rich men that aim for success.
I believe real success cannot be stolen, faked, let alone borrowed; we should learn not to import this kind of mindset into our lives and protect ourselves and understand this is the future. I believe in working hard to become someone in life, and also putting in more efforts and enjoying the process, also because this is part of life, and we should learn not to import fake lifestyles or borrowed success in our journey.
