The things you can't control in life are sometimes the most important. That's what makes life unfair.
I don't think about this as much, but I know a lot of people do. Looks matter. A lot. Height matters. Genes matter. The family you were born into matters. The country you grew up in matters. Your starting point in life matters. And you didn't choose any of it.
That's the part that messes with people. You can do everything right and still feel like you're playing on hard mode while someone else is on easy. You can grind, hustle, work on yourself, and still feel like the dice were rolled before you even sat down at the table.
It's not fair. I'm not going to pretend it is.
But here's the thing — you can't change it. You can't grow taller. You can't pick new parents. You can't rewrite the genes you were dealt. So what's the point of obsessing over it? It's just going to eat you alive.
Focus on what you can control. Because that's actually what matters the most in the long run. How you treat people. How you show up. The work you put in. The mindset you carry. The kindness you give out. Your character. That stuff is yours. Nobody can take it from you and you can build it from scratch.
I know it sucks. I know it feels heavy when you look at someone who has what you don't and wonder why. But don't make it a life or death situation. Don't let it become the only thing you think about. That's a trap.
Yes it's hard. Yes it's unfair. But keep going.
Make the most out of what you've got.
