God created successful people in
two categories. People in the first category are born into the right
circumstances with enough intelligence and talent to become successful, which
they turn out to be.
Whereas, people in the second
category are only destined to become successful; those favorable attributes are
not a part of their hereditary kit. Therefore, God puts-in additional time and effort
for years on end – works overtime, slogs on Sundays and other holidays, puts
them through unusual and tough experiences – to imbue the right traits to become
successful and also to handle it. God calls this process ‘testing times’. However, during these difficult periods, God stays by their side… always.
We may find the first category of
people lucky and blessed; indeed they are. But, only God and people from the
second category know the struggles and hardships they endured hand in hand to
become successful in life. That’s why at the end of it, both cherish every
moment of their journey together.
Maybe one day you will too, if God so desires.
