Everyone must face something that breaks them in order to finally discover who they truly are and what they’re truly capable of. You blame life for your failures because it’s easier than admitting the truth: the responsibility was yours, and your fear of facing it is what keeps you chained to mediocrity.

Remember that your family eats from the fruits of your decisions. Not just you, but three generations after you will bear the cost of your reckless choices. That’s why a wise man makes decisions as if he were already dead, watching his children from above.

Some of you are failing and don’t even realize it, because you surround yourselves with people who applaud defeat, addiction, and mediocrity.

First, list the weaknesses you’ve collected, and your vengeance will multiply in number of graves. “This is happening to me because life is unfair!” No — it’s because you are weak. The prey’s defenselessness awakens hunger in the predator.
