When you get up in the morning, the person you see in the mirror is the biggest loser in the world. That’s true if you are Donald Trump or a janitor with an IQ of 70. What you do that day to make progress toward being a winner is all up to you.
“What you do that day to make progress toward being a winner is all up to you.”
Truly, to a large degree.
Someone with continual migraines, or severe emotional trauma, or chronic cancer, or whatever, there are some things you can’t “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps.”
But for the most of us, there is always something we can do to improve ourselves if only a little. This stops when we start feeling like “victims.” I’ve had to fight that in my own life, and remind myself I am not a “victim,” at least not very often.
