Life Ain't Fair... So What?

By Jim Ziegler



The world doesn't owe you a living, much less prosperity. The United States of America only guarantees Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Happiness is not a constitutional right; you only have the right to be allowed to go for it. Nobody owes you happiness or success. And, if you're a failure, it's neither my fault nor is it my responsibility. Don't stack your wimpy baggage on my doorstep.

Road kill strewn across life's highway! Yes, the highways of our lives are spattered with flattened carcasses of wimps and whiners and other varieties of assorted losers who will envy your successes and automatically assume they've got a right to what you've legitimately earned. Remember this; you have a constitutional right to be successful, happy and prosperous. There's always going be those nasty small-minded crabs lurking in the shadows of life waiting for an opportunity to take a shot at you. They don't want to succeed themselves or to better their own lives. It is their sole purpose and primary mission to drag you back down. Misery loves company.

I'm sincerely sorry so many people find solace and security in the excuses they've manufactured as to why it is okay to fail because life has dealt them a bad hand. I'm amazed to see so many people have given up and accepted less than they deserve out of life because they believe the world has conspired against them. I see all of the excuse-makers who've justified their failures and shortcomings. They take comfort in the flawed thinking that it's impossible for them to succeed because of factors they perceive to be beyond their control. Some people's bad attitudes predestine them to be stuck at the bottom of every pile and the end of every line. I am sick of catering to life's losers, whiners and professional victims. It appears as if some people might actually enjoy whining more than winning.

Yes, I agree, there's discrimination, prejudice and injustice in the world and it's wrong. There's so many people out there filled with mindless hate and jealousy. But just because some people are mean spirited and bigoted is no excuse for you to wallow in your own self-pity. Don't justify your failures because of something you perceive the world's doing to you. The prejudice of others may be an obstacle but you should never allow it to become an unbreakable barrier. That would then be your choice.

Some people have been festering inside, wallowing in self-pity and justifying their failures for so long they may never find their way back. The real hope is in being sure we don't pass this infectious negativity on to other generations. It starts with educating fresh, unspoiled minds. All children deserve a head start. They need the education and the emotional tools to break out and succeed.

When I talk about losers, whiners, wimps and crybabies, I'm describing people who justify failure by blaming external forces in their lives. I am talking directly about and directly to those people who believe they have a right to give up and lay down because they think life isn't fair.

Why would anyone go through life hiding behind built in excuses telling everyone why their life isn't working? If someone can justify all of their failures and non-accomplishments with the pride of knowing it's not their fault, then what's the point? If any of these things sound familiar, stop blaming your problems and failures on other people, circumstances, and those things that are beyond your control. One thing prosperous people have in common is they've taken charge of their lives. No excuses!
