Just because you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth does not mean that you will die in a silver coffin. If you tend to blame the environment that you were brought up in as your defeat in life and for your lack of wealth, then you don’t deserve success at all.

Let me explain myself.

A common misconception is the idea that success is only attracted to people who are rich. However success, in fact, is attracted to people who put in the work. The reason why successful people often breed the same is because the offspring of success usually grow up witnessing first-hand the character traits and mindset it takes to accomplish.

One tip to reaching your peak is that if you want more than what you already have, then you should avoid feeling comfortable until you are at the place that you want to be. Complacency can be your worst enemy. When you are comfortable, you let yourself accept who you are at that moment and deny the fact that you genuinely want to improve your lifestyle. Blaming your background and the circumstances that you grew up in gives you that sense of comfort. You give yourself an excuse for the shortcomings in your life, and success does not see any excuse. You lose the motivation to make a name for yourself and become something more when in fact if you truly want to reach greater heights, then nothing should be stronger than your desire to reach your goals. It is when your quest for success becomes your ultimate mission, that you will accomplish any goal you set your mind to.

Being lower and middle class has its advantages. Growing up middle class, I have the motivation to do something bigger with my life and become a professional at something just so that I can give my parents the life of upperclassmen. Although upper class teens and young adults don’t always get handed prosperity, I will not discount the fact that for a few, success is just thrown onto their laps. However, living the lifestyle of someone who has already reached the pinnacle of success can lead you to a lack of motivation and a lack of gratification because ultimately, it was your parents'/guardians’ success. Building something from the ground up has its own reward that a person who was handed everything cannot ever get.

Success doesn’t discriminate. It is given to all those who make their fair attempt to earn it. And it tastes sweeter when accompanied with a grassroots effort.
