Life always shows us the reality that not all that is good comes from an ancestry. Some are born in wealthy families and some are born in poor families. Some get the best education, connections and opportunities, others find even the smallest opportunity to prove their worth. But there is one thing we must realize, our past is not our destiny.
Your family might not be able to offer you any monetary help. You might have been born into a small village with few opportunities. Maybe your parents struggled financially to send you to school or you had to make it on your own for what you have now. Whatever it has been, don't let your past limit your present opportunities for your future dreams.
There, said the man, is where your journey started, not where your journey has to end.
There are many people whose lives have convinced them that they can't be great! They see those who have more opportunities, better connections and more resources and they say, "Yeah, they can't do it.They see others with more opportunities, connections and resources and they say, "Yeah, they can't do it. However, not every success starts with money or connections or privilege. At other times, it starts with a choice to persevere in the face of obstacles.
Although you may not have the best start, you have the power to make a beautiful finish.
Don't have a fear of your heritage. There's nothing wrong with your humble origins. There's no reason to feel any inferiority to one who was born into riches. Going to a less expensive school doesn't mean you can't beat somebody from a more expensive school. It's not what you have, but what you want to do; learn, improve, work hard and make the most of what is offered to you.
But you need to realize that motivation isn't the only thing that's important. Discipline, patience, determination and consistency are required. You can't make something happen by merely wishing it. You have to be willing to make sacrifices, learn from your failures and be dedicated no matter what it takes.
Don't let your past be an excuse for not doing something. Rather, allow it to be a motivator. If you've seen your parents work hard, let that motivate you to create a better future for yourself. When you have been rejected, take that as motivation to improve yourself. Don't waste your life trying to convince them otherwise through argumentation, if people look down on you because of where you are from. Pay attention to "being the best you.
Additionally, keep in mind that everyone's experience is unique. Don't start where someone else is finishing. Some could be successful at the age of 25 and someone else may do it at 40. People do not have to compete with a universal clock! Concentrate on your progress, celebrate small victories, and continue working towards your goals.
Most of all, be sure to remember that success is not just money, fame or social standing. It's also about you, the lives you touch, the things you learn, and the good that you do in the world.
However, your background may account for some of your difficulties and does not necessarily give you a life of privilege and a limitation of ambition.
CONCLUSION
Your world may be judged by your family name, your finances, your education or your country of origin. However, you should never let those evaluations affect your own self-worth.
Stand up to your situation. Build your skills. Develop your character. Own up to your decisions and continue moving ahead.
You can't change your place of origin, but you can impact your destination by making choices now.
Sometime the same place you thought was your embarrassment could be the place that will inspire someone else to not give up.
Remember: Your past is a part of your story, but not the entire story. Your future is still being written and you have a part to play in it.
