This is how I struggled.

,


I have been literally struggling to bring myself to write to you since the last time I wrote to you.


But somehow, I have always found myself making one excuse or the other to eventually not write the mail.


But all that ends today - right now.


And today I am going to leave you with a lesson that is so important,


That if you don't learn this lesson early enough in life,


You may end up living a life full of resentment towards people who dont deserve it.


And you will suffer the greatest consequences of harboring that resentment throughout your lifetime without knowing it.


And here's the lesson.


No one owes you anything.


It sounds pretty simple right?


But both consciously and subconsciously,


You, me and a whole lot of people always feel entitled to one thing or the other from other people.


You feel entitled to:

  • Their money,
  • Their attention,
  • Their time,
  • Their resources,
  • Their friendship,
  • Their care,
  • Their kindness,
  • And so on.


And many of the time, it leads you to act in ways that you won't be proud of when you look back on them years from now.


Plus if you really think about it, they don't really owe you sh*t.


Because in this world, it's every man for himself, no matter how you try to sugarcoat it.


No one, not the government, not even your parents owe you anything - well aside from a few basic things like feeding you and giving you a good education at least up until you can fend for yourself.


But even some of those basic things cannot be afforded by some - if not most - parents.


So what should their children do?


Curse their parents because they are unable to provide for them?


Of course not.


For a long time I was sad that my parents didn't have the luxury of being able to provide certain things that I saw other parents provide for their kids.


And for as long as I sulked and felt that way, I remained stagnant.


It was until I realized how entitled I felt, and that I had to take laws into my hands.


That was when I started making some real progress.


Am I saying it is bad for your parents to provide luxury and comfort for you?


Definitely not.


But the idea here is for you to TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for your life.


And stop feeling that anyone somewhere owes you something.


When in reality, you are the only one who owes yourself whatever you want.


Once you start taking responsibility for your life, you will begin to make so much progress that you will be amazed.


And you'll be glad you did.


That will be all for today.


See you in my next mail.


To your digital success,

King Danisan™.
