WEEK TWO:
BLOOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
"The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have."
Vince Lombardi
William Shakespeare once said that some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Life is a race that we must all run individually, but some have a better head start than others.
Some people were born royalty, others have a rich spouse and some were lucky enough to possess the right talent in a 'land of opportunity'. However, most of us are not awarded similar circumstances. It may seem unfair, but all that matters is how you use the cards you've been dealt by life.
Do not let yourself become a victim of your circumstances. You may not be successful BECAUSE OF your background, but you can also become successful IN SPITE OF your background.
Bloom where you are planted; you may not have chosen how you began, but you can choose how to finish. Start where you are with what you have.
