Unless you're pretty, intelligent, lucky or rich
You're going to struggle
You'll find it impossible to do good in the world and get recognised for it
You'll live in a shadow
Everyone will suspect you, judge you, wonder aimlessly about your intentions.
You'll never be given a shot. I used to think this a lot.
I used to live by this notion, religiously; there was no other way around it.
Life had to go on and that's how it did.
Until someone said to me; that this motion is useless, that it won't benefit anyone.
Unless
Unless you wanted to be a model, a man of medicine, a risk-taking gambler or a figure of the stock market.
Unless your heart wishes to pursue such a career, then your notion is flawed.
I wanted to be happy, so, why was I living by such a flawed idea that didn't apply to me?
Unless you're pretty, intelligent, luck or rich
You're going to struggle
Screw the notion.
Screw such an idea.
