LIFE DOES NOT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU DESERVE
This quote has been my favorite quote ever, and it has also been the motive behind my striving to become something in life. With the few years I have spent on earth, I have come to realize that nothing good comes easily; life will not give you that which you're due for. No one on earth is born to suffer; in fact, if possible, we should have come to this earth and be enjoying it throughout our days on earth, i.e., till we all die and return back to where we come from, but life is so cruel that it won't give you that enjoyment that you're entitled to, most especially if you come from a poor background or middle-class family; it's another life struggle. Look here, yes, you, not anyone but you. If you come across this post, you're the one I'm talking to. Don't wait for anyone to come to your rescue; you have to take responsibility for your life. Stop shifting blame onto anyone. Take up your boxing gloves, fully prepared to fight. If you refuse to fight, that which belongs to you won't come.
It's only in Nollywood or Bollywood that you see a boy or a girl suffering, and one day the poor boy or girl is walking on the road, and a rich man driving by sees him or her and then stops the car, takes pity on the poor fellow, and then decides to be happy, and that's how the life of such an individual will change for good and never know suffering again till death. It doesn't work that way, my dear. Don't misquote me. I'm not saying it's not possible, but let me give you a range of its positivity. It's just 1% out of 100%, which is a rare case scenario. So get up, stop being delusional, and face reality. And mind you, I am not saying you should start fighting at every junction or street you find yourself in; the fight I am talking about is you standing up on your feet and making decisions that, no matter what it takes, I will make it in this life, and I will change my world positively, taking responsibility for your lifetime. Take charge; stop shifting blame on circumstances, people, and many more. That's the thinking of a poor man; likewise, be positive and always see the positive in all things. Don't entertain the mindset of a phlegmatic or melancholy person; summon courage like a choleric and see yourself as one who can achieve it. That height that seems impossible to get to, you can attain it. Yes, it's possible; you just need the proper mindset.
The scripture says, "Whatsoever a man thinketh in his heart, so be it," and even God affirms it. He said to Abraham, "As far as you can see, that I will give to you." Picture it, write it down, meditate on it, let it dwell in your heart, and you will see yourself achieving it.
