THE ULTIMATE QUOTE


A wise man once said

"We are all self-made but only the successful will admit it." ~ Earl Nightingale.

This struck me when i saw it, and it's not like it's a whole new discovery, it's just that I never thought of it this exact way. The organisation of the quote made it glare more and it also had this little bit of fun element in it.
Try asking an unsuccessful individual the thing that kept them in the position they find themselves currently and you will hear all sort of stories about things going wrong, things that didn't go as planned, situations that were out of their control. Fingers will be point in all direction except within.
The case is quite different when you ask the same question to a successful individual. They will tell you about the hardship and dark moments they went through, incidents and thing that spurn out of their control, but they will also tell you how they worked tirelessly covered in sweat to try and fix things and to overcome the harsh storm because they believed they were in control and responsible for their destiny (admitting to being self-made ultimately).
So basically, we have the self-made poor man and the self-made rich man, the self-made looser and the self-made winner, the self-made unhappy and depressed individual and the self-made happy and enthusiastic one, the self-made problem solver and the self-made nagging and complaining individual, a self-made wise individual and a self-made foolish individual.
So we are self-made anyways, just that it's only the successful that will admit it. Begin to mould yourself into an individual you will be ultimately proud of when you look back in retrospect. Begin to shape yourself into a product that you're gonna cherish, begin to build a product of yourself that will be invaluable when it becomes a finished product.
The limitations that you really have is yourself and your imaginations, don't fail yourself. The worst moments in life are those moments in life are those moments are moments of regrets not moments of failure. Don't put yourself in a position where if you look back at your life you will be in a position to use that phrase 'had i known', knowing that there were things that you would have done but didn't do them because of whatever reason. The trick here is that when you look back and consider things that you could have done differently, they might have either succeeded or failed even if you did them the way you are thinking, but there is no way for you to know anymore. You will end up using your imaginations and regret will become your new name.
Like i said previously the pain from regrets is greater than the pain from failures. So that doing that thing that you have in mind right now!.
