Most often I hear people say life is hard, life is unfair, and I tend to wonder what part of life is hard, Is this due to some unexpected failures or what could I call it?.

Some say life is hard when they don't get expected results, when they are turned down severally, when things don't work in their favor.
A fact to hold is life is not made for you, you are made for life, your are built with the necessary features to survive the hurdle.

Things aren't just going to work in your favor just like that, your have to make them work yourself. Nobody cares about your background, your problems, or what your are experiencing presently, all people wants to see is your productivity, your value, and how much you can offer and how capable you are.
So whenever I hear someone say "life is hard or unfair" I ask, what have you done to challenge life, how far have your built yourself to survive in life, how much risk have you taken to improve yourself, how immune are you to critics and failure, irrespective of your background, challenges and problems.

I have seen orphans attain PhD's, I have seen prisoners learn new skills while in prison, I have seen patients studying while in their hospital beds,
what's your excuse?
Life doesn't care about your excuses and until you do something about it, nothing is going to happen!
Nicholas James Vujicic is a man with no arms and legs, He could have been a regular beggar or probably in a confinement for people with disabilities, but he was able, think beyond his challenges, and incapability. There is power in how you think, if your say you can do it, then yes! you can and if you can't, then you can't. It all happens in your head.

AS A MAN THINKS... SO IS HE
If we are to look at the challenges that life presents to us, one would not achieve anything. Mark didn't succeed in his first attempt to build Facebook, neither did Faraday succeed in his first attempt to electricity.
Was life fair to this guys? No!, But the irony of it is failure itself is part of life, its a stage of development.
So if your fail, keep trying, your are developing, be consistent, life isn't hard, every failure is just a phase which will pass.
A common slang we say here in Nigeria(pidgin English) - "Na Who give up na him fuck up.....ma phor" meaning - He who gives up is already a loser, Don't give up
Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
Dear reader,
Don't expect life to come friendly and smoothly, rather, be prepared for whatever it brings, remember you have the tools to make it, already built in you, its all in your head, each failure is a step to success. Don't be lazy life isn't hard, and if you are lucky things just happens to work in your favor, well good for you, but don't loose your guards.
Thanks for stopping by,
Until next time,
Stay woke.✌️
