Some people are willing to manipulate their way to success. Others would sacrifice their relationships with loved ones, make shady deals full of many (unforeseeable) consequences, gamble with their health or inheritance, or become so ruthless in their pursuits that they lose their heart in the process of money-making.
Then there are those who would never (really attempt to) succeed because they like the life of comfort. Those who can’t handle the pressure, or get confused when it comes to making choices and risks, or struggle to keep their boundaries intact, or simply don’t want to take accountability for their thoughts and actions.
In reality there’s no right or wrong way to success as long as you’re clear about who you are and what you’re trying to achieve. Everything in life’s a lesson and every mistake brings you closer to understanding what’s your current lesson.
What happens when you learn a lesson? You move on to the next one. What happens when you learn all the lessons? You graduate. What happens when you graduate? You begin to teach others. And in the school of life, cheating will not get you to graduation faster – in fact, it will only slow you down.
