Quit whining about your weakness.

If something is holding you back, don’t cry about it.

There are many things we can’t control — what family we were born into, our race or sex, how big our nose is. Strength — physical, mental, and spiritual — is fluid, and one thing you can affect.

Even financial poverty is unable to stop you from reading a book, doing pushups, or meditating. In fact, money can keep you from increasing in these areas precisely because you cannot buy fortitude in these areas. So if one is used to shopping their way through life their card will be declined every time at the register of Life Experience.

If you’re behind, consider it a blessing, suck it up and do the work.
