YOUR BACKGROUND SHOULD NOT BE THE REASON WHY YOUR BACK SHOULD BE ON THE GROUND BY_ IBUKUNOLUWA M. ODUNTAN

It’s okay if you didn’t come from a rich family. After all, it’s not your fault, but it’s your fault if a rich family doesn’t come from you.

We are born into the world, meeting ourselves in whatever family God places us.

Some meet themselves in a poor family.

Some are born with a silver spoon into a rich home.

Some are born with no connections or supporters, just doing everything all by themselves, while some other people are born having all these in abundance.

The bitter truth is, you can’t spend forever blaming your background. You can’t spend eternity blaming your parents. They might actually be at fault for not breaking the cycle before your birth, but you should not allow the cycle to continue. It can end on your turn.

Stop finding excuses for why you can’t start that business.

Stop finding excuses for why you can’t proceed with your education.

Start finding a way, because every successful person out there began the journey to success the day they started finding a way, in spite of all odds, instead of finding excuses.

Life is not a bed of roses. It’s not your fault for being born into a poor background, but it would be your fault if you die poor and bring another life into that cycle.

I know it’s not easy breaking out of it, but trust me, good things don’t come easily. You need to sacrifice your comfort and time. Above all, be patient with the process.

I hope you find this helpful. Till I write to you again.
