good things come to those who wait?

no, no they do not.
The old saying good things come to those who wait is why we have millions of people in shitty circumstances that cant accept that it isnt their fault and they have no way out.
Good things come to those who go out and fucking earn it.

If you want something in life you can never expect it to be handed to you, you are the only one who can make your dreams come true so stop sitting on your ass and go out and work toward it.
No matter what it is.
