There are many things in life we take for granted, the water we drink, the food we eat, the air we breathe, our health and our fitness, etc. However, many times people take the successes of others for granted as well. These people sometimes forget or ignore the effort that it took, the sacrifices individuals have made, and the sheer perseverance they had to go through, to reach their pinnacle or summit. What is more disturbing, is the way that others, who have not gone through such trials, are quick to assume that it was easy for them, or they were just given a life of luxury.
Those who have attained great success, power, wealth, or fame, legitimately, should be honored to be numbered in the few who have overcome obstacles and circumstances that most have allowed to stop them. Somewhere in the pages of their story, they triumphed, and as part of their future story, many use their talents, gifts, and resources to encourage and support others as they go through their “fire”!
Unfortunately, the overwhelming number of scams, cons and hustles that even, semi-successful people endure, leaves people understandably guarded and defensive against all requests for donations or assistance. Knowing who to trust, can be more difficult to determine, than to effectively anticipate the trends on the stock market.
