A fee things of what type have there as you have described it, is lucky for where you started.
But you also exerted plenty effort to bring about the total that you have. It's great that you can admit to your blessings and head-start in terms of family/country. Many in a position of privilege do not.
People also tend to sit back and chill when they are born to it, which I don't feel that you do. So good on you!
Myself as an adult needed to realize exactly how bad a position I started at, and be more happy and proud of my situation and accomplishments. You see, I was frustrated by my lack of achievements. But through careful thought and checking my perspective, I realized that I was judging myself too harshly.
Luck has played no part in what I've created, just some of the occurrences that happened along the way which caused me to work harder. Luck (good or bad), happenstance, chance and so on...things we can't always control...But we can control how hard we work and that plays a part in what we ultimately create.
Sometimes, no matter how hard I work, it does not seem like I am getting anywhere financially... I shall keep working though, on and off Hive... as hard as I can for as long as I can.
I am providing for the family after all. Three kids all teens now... just got to keep pushing for a while longer.
It seems like that sometimes. I know many who are behind the eight ball which seems easy to do but very hard to get out of. Keep working at it.
Thanks man. Yeah, I shall...
Some days its hard. Its good to hear some encouraging words.
