Life is not easy anywhere: changing an environment might not still make you successful until you do this one thing.
Very few people have realised that there is no life anywhere in the world that is a bed of roses. Many people think that leaving their immediate environment for another will automatically bring success to them. This is not always the truth. Many people have left their environment with the hope of making it in life, yet nothing changes. The difference is in mindset. I know of a friend who told me that he wants to leave his country for another. According to him, life is easy over there. What prompted this desire in him was the fact that others who travelled earlier were sending a good amount of money back home. As a result, he sold all of his properties and travelled out of the country. A few months later, he told me how regretful he was. When I pressed further to find out why he regretted his decision, he said that life over there is not easy. He added that in order to make it, you must be ready to work hard, at least five jobs in a day, before you can take good care of your bills.
The truth will always remain that, to make it in life, you must be ready to work. Many people today are unable to achieve their goals and aspirations because they are not ready to pay the price of hard work. Any success that comes easily is not real; it's either someone had worked for it, or it is not genuine success that won’t last long. The year is coming to an end, and many people have yet to achieve what they planned for because they have not worked hard enough. If only they would put more effort into these remaining months.
I always tell people that no matter how little your earnings are, keep accumulating them because in the long run, it will become a huge earning. Many people have given up on certain work because the pay is nothing to write home about, hence they decided to stay idle. Idleness will only result in poverty, hunger and starvation as well as envy and frustration. No matter how developed a place is, there is a need to work hard to make money. Money does not fall from heaven. People who have money have worked for it. Until you are ready to work, that’s when your situation will take a new turn. No matter how bad an economy can be, people still make it in such an environment.
Even if you want to change environment to another for better opportunities, have this at the back of your mind that you are there to put in effort and not to laze around and expect free money. There is no free money anywhere in the world. If there was, nobody would tell you. So sit up and be ready to work if you need money.
