Beginnings

“Sometimes you can’t pay it back so you just have to pay it forward.”

The starting point was set further forward for me than others. I was blessed with two loving parents who cared constantly. They did and still do everything they possibly can for their kids. Because of this, I was given a head start.

Never have I ever thought this as much as now. I used to think that my privilege was lacking compared to others. Now I have realized that my beginning was the best beginning imaginable. I am able to remember being loved unconditionally. 

Kids go through a lot of stuff. They are always looking for answers. When I was a kid, my parents gave me those answers. I was given the opportunity to learn, to grow, to excel. Not everyone has those opportunities and I recognize that.

Because of the life that was gifted to me, I must give back. I must pay forward the love I was given with love of my own. My parents showed their love to me with the work they put into raising me. They showed their love through their patience. They showed their love through the time they spent and the personal desires they sacrificed to make that time.

If I don’t show that love to others, my opportunity has been wasted.

WHERE YOU START IS NOT ALWAYS UP TO YOU, BUT WHERE YOU FINISH IS.

I was given a head start, but I have to put in effort to continue going in the right direction. For many others, they are given a huge setback and it takes major discipline to change the course of their story. But as you have seen millions of times, it is possible. People who are given a huge edge in life often seem to spoil it. They are overtaken by those who have the discipline, the motivation, the drive. 

When it comes down to it, all you need is inspiration. What is your purpose for doing what you do? 

WITH A STRONG PURPOSE, ALL IS POSSIBLE.

Don’t blame your beginning for anything, be happy for it. Look at all the blessings you were given. After all, you’re still alive, not everyone can say that.

If you weren’t given the head start, you are going to have to put in work. Extra work. But that work will compound. Every ounce of effort you put into yourself will build you into a warrior. Keep putting the work in.

If you were given the head start, don’t squander it. You were set further ahead than others naturally, now take advantage of it. In this situation, you must recognize your blessings and use them to inspire others. Don’t put in less work because you don’t need to. You are already this far, you better step on the gas and become the best you can. The cards were played right for you, don’t waste the opportunity.

Life is full of luck. But you are almost completely in control of it.

Tomorrow I will break down the luck formula and teach how to turn luck into fate.

Thank you for reading.

I appreciate every single person who happens to stumble across these deep sentiments buried in my subconscious.

I hope if you’re here you can relate.

My goal is to help others better themselves while doing the same.

This is The Exploration.
