Don’t Ignore the Nudges

Life Isn't Fair

Life isn’t Fair

Have you noticed that?

Have you noticed that some who you think don’t deserve it still get the prize?
Have you noticed that sometimes (maybe often) you have to be nice to annoying people?
Have you noticed that sometimes you do all the right things and it doesn’t work out?
Have you noticed that obstacles are often strewn in your path?
Have you noticed that some (maybe many) don’t appreciate your genius?

If you said yes to any or all of these you are normal. Life isn’t fair to anybody. (Even if it looks differently at times.)

If you accept that “life isn’t fair and ain’t never gonna be” – then you might have the makings of an entrepreneur.

Successful entrepreneurs accept that there will be pain, obstacles and diversions. Successful entrepreneurs take their lumps and move on.
Successful entrepreneurs laugh at the notion that “life isn’t fair”.

Life isn't fair. Get over it and move on.
