I’m sick of hearing people complain about their lives all the time. “Woe is me, nothings going right for me”, “Why can’t I get what I want?”, “The whole world is against me”, etc etc. If you feel so strongly about this, and have all the time in the world to constantly complain and whine about it.. why don’t you get up off your ass and do something about it then?

Happiness and success will never be handed to you, remember that. You must work towards both and earn your right to succeed and be happy. And don’t give me that whole, “It’s easier said than done”, and “I don’t want to get hurt” bullshit. Well if you don’t have any motivation or drive to go after your own happiness and success, then you sure as hell don’t deserve them. You’re going to have to get hurt multiple times, scarred even. You’re going to have to walk alone often and you’ll have to learn how to stand on your own when adversity arises. You can’t always run back home to Mommy and Daddy. You’ll have to build your own home inside your heart, and learn how to rely and look inside yourself for your own reassurance and guidance. Success will never find the weak, but will be drawn to those of strong will and Happiness doesn’t belong to the ones that don’t want to suffer for it. Success and happiness are privileges, not rights. If you’re not willing to work hard for them, they’re not entitled to be with you.
