Life gave me
  • Share this:

Life gave me lemons.⁣

I grew up in a poor neighbourhood in Hong Kong.⁣

I was surrounded by toxic people.⁣

I was scammed - many times.⁣

I had bad business partners.⁣

I made bad investments after bad investments.⁣

And to top it all off, I lost someone that meant a lot to me...⁣

...without even properly saying goodbye.⁣

“When Life Gives You Lemons…”⁣

People say you must make do with your circumstances.⁣

They say, “that’s life”. Or “c’est la vie”.⁣

But I don’t agree...⁣

It’s true that while you’re getting lemons, you may as well turn those difficulties into opportunities…⁣

(There’s nothing wrong with that.)⁣

But if you look deeper, there’s something else wrong with this attitude on a fundamental level.⁣

When you say “that’s life”. Or “c’est la vie”.⁣

You’re accepting defeat...⁣

You’re saying to your subconscious, “Well what can I do? This is supposed to happen to me! It’s life!”⁣

And for the longest time, this was what I told myself too.⁣

I was a victim...⁣

I blamed everyone and everything around me for why I was who I was.⁣

I blamed it all on the lemons in my life…⁣

I said “c’est la vie.”⁣

But when eventually I had nowhere to turn. And I was backed against the wall...⁣

I had to face myself. And I had to accept that the only person that was to blame for my life: was me.⁣

Only after I took extreme ownership for my life did I start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.⁣

I know that you’re most likely going through similar things yourself.⁣

Life is pummelling you with lemons. And no matter how hard you try - it just doesn’t seem to be getting better.⁣

It feels like there is nowhere to hide and protect yourself. And that dream life you so desperately want just seems to grow farther and farther away...⁣

Well, I want you to know something.⁣

You’re not alone.⁣

What you’re experiencing is normal. All successful people have to go through that.⁣

Steve Jobs went through it, Elon Musk went through it, I went through it, and almost every self-made successful person I can think of went through it.⁣

The difference between those that make it and those that don’t is simple.⁣

Those that make it - refuse to make lemonade with their lemons.⁣

They refuse to settle and just accept life for “what it is”.⁣

And they refuse to give up on their dreams - even when things seem hopeless.⁣

Keep going!⁣

And never let the world tell you who you can or cannot be.⁣

If you feel it’s time to get out of a rut and that it’s time to take your life to the level you really want to be playing at, you’ll want to get your hands on my popular, intense & free mindset training.⁣
