TODAY'S QUOTE

comes from Don Quijote's creator, 16th century Spanish poet, novelist and playwright Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra.

      'NEVER STAND BEGGING FOR WHAT ONE HAS THE POWER TO EARN"

 

MY TAKE:

As we manage our way through life, we have all experienced moments of need. In fact, some may have been moments of dire need. 

Those who understand the concept of charity or help, will understand that there may have been times when we have been the object of that help. And we have received it and been grateful for it. 

However, in order to move forward through life and have a chance at being successful, we also understood in those times that this would be a very temporary help, that the real help and eventual success could only come through our own efforts. We had to help ourselves and we had to, as individuals, fight our way through those moments of difficulty.

People who do not give up, will eventually enjoy success. Maybe not the one originally intended but it will be success, nonetheless.

Which one are you? 

One who will depend on others for your survival, or one who will accept the challenges and do all possible to rise above the difficulties on your own?

Be well...
