You will not get anywhere if you don't plan on moving your body. Well, it is mostly true... because if you have a goal and want to get there, you know that you have to get up, move your body, get in the car, or jump on a bus, train, or something else. This is about having ambitions. If you don't have any goals in life, you will not get there either. You might achieve things, but if it wasn't your goal, then it doesn't really mean a lot.
I remember having a dream to get a passive income that would make me earn money while I was asleep. It was a dream, and it was an ambition. I didn't know exactly how I would get there, but I did work to achieve my goal, and in part, I must say that it has been a success. Back then, I had no clue that cryptocurrencies would be a part of that dream, but today I know for sure that crypto is a vital part in this dream.

So, you need to have ambition, you need to have dreams. But, that isn't all. You also need to have persistence, that is, you need to work to actually see your dream turn reality. You might want to travel somewhere, that is the ambition. And then you have persistence, the vehicle you use to actually get there.
Don't give up easily, but keep on working hard, and you will see that you are getting better and better, and closer and closer. Maybe you want to earn through blogging? Don't give up easily, but keep on working, connecting with others, and enjoy and have fun in the process.
I suppose this is a longer version of hard work and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps will result in eventual success. Everyone that is successful has lots of stories of failures, and we all should take that to heart because it does seem to be the case almost all the time.
Also, people who are handed things rarely make a mark for themselves in life. I remember reading a news story about how Willow Smith was claiming that her success had nothing to do with her parents. Then I had to look up who her parents were because I had no idea who she is. Well she is Will and Jada Smith's daughter and she is delusional if she thinks that her natural talent had anything to do with her success, however small it is.
Well, I haven't heard of Willow Smith myself... but it is quite obvious that she gets a fantastic backwind by having parents like Will and Jada Smith. She gets easier access to pro people, the attention is already there, and so much more... but I guess in the end, she will only remain on top and popular and in success if she actually creates something of quality. Once again, it is easier with parents like that who can help her and have contacts and who can make some calls for you... so she has a gigantic advantage compared to many others, that's for sure.
But, I must admit... it can for sure be tough to come with parents like that, because everyone will always point at your parents and claim that they are the key to the success, and stepping out of such a shadow and actually stand on your own legs and feel that you are someone yourself without your parents petting your back, that can be tough as well (even though it is a blessing/curse I believe many would be happy to live with).
I wonder how many children of famous people went on to achieve more in life than their parents did? There's probably a list.
