Introduction
We all have bad days, false starts, times when we’re ready to throw in the towel and scream “It’s not worth it!”
Usually, when we reach this point, we’ve gotten to it through stress, anger, or injustice at something that has happened beyond our ability to control. Whatever the reason, we end up feeling stressed, wondering just what’s the point in going on.
It’s times like these that we tend to look up at the celebrities, the people who walk the red carpet, who have the glamorous lives as though they are a different species as justification for why we’ve failed.
After all, they’re just someone who was destined from birth to be popular, famous, wealthy and quite untouchable. If you’re born to greatness, or maybe just incredibly lucky, then how could we possibly ever think to compete?
It’s thoughts like these that will stop us in our tracks every time.
Would it surprise you to know that some of these demi-gods went through extreme conditions before achieving success?
Sometimes even when they seem to be at the pinnacle of success, life throws things at them that they have to overcome before rising above it. People who succeed are people who try, who work hard, who don’t give up.
People like you.
So rather than looking at the rich and famous as a different species, consider that there are lessons you can learn from studying their lives.
What follows are stories which are hopefully inspiring and thought-provoking. Here you will find examples of people who have been wildly successful.
Why?
Because they never gave up.
