Truthfully, nobody cares about what you’re up against or how you ended up down on your luck. So you may as well save the sob stories about being a victim, quit talking about all the people who did you wrong or let you down, and start working to get a handle on your life.

Translation: Stop whining, wipe your tears away, get off your ass, stand on your two feet, and own your destiny. It doesn’t matter if it’s not fair, or how many people started off with more than you, or what you’ve been through, or who’s to blame. At the end of the day you have to own the outcome of your life regardless of the circumstances you face.
