1. No one’s coming to do it for you

No one is just waiting around willing to help you succeed at the cost of themselves succeeding.

Everyone has their own problems to worry about and so do you.

So step up and fix them.

1. The government doesn't care about you

They only care about themselves and what profits them.

Sometimes you may get a benefit from the government but it is always still in their favor.

To them, you are just a random person that they can extract money from.

1. Failure is ok

It's ok to fail however it's not ok to quit.

Thomas Edison once said, "I haven't failed -- I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

Every time he failed he was one step closer to creating the light bulb.

It's just the same for you and whatever you do.

1. You're set up to lose

School, video games, work, movies, salary.

They are all there so that you lose and have to continually be supported.

Why aren't more people successful if school or work doesn't help?

Maybe because its set up to make you lose?

1. Thoughts become actions

You're like "who cares what I watch or listen to" but it forms thoughts in your head.

Never watch or listen to something that you wouldn't want to happen to you.

Though it seems impossible the more you imagine it the closer it is to reality.

1. College doesn't mean a good job

This is a lie you've been told to get your money.

@IAmAaronWill says it well: "Nobody likes education anymore because the world is full of poor graduates and rich criminals."

It isn't the smart ones who succeed but the ones who never give up.

1. Their __ are not your own

Their goals Their opinions Their thoughts Their actions

They are not your own.

You weren't created to be a copy of someone but made to use your talents.

So stop worrying about what others are saying and become a better person.

1. Saving means spending

Wait, what?

Yes, saving is spending nowadays.

If you saved $100 just 1 year ago your money would only be worth $96! (add a little bit for interest)

So if you are saving you're losing money!

1. Social media is meant to keep you scrolling

Social media was designed to capture your attention.

Ever wonder why the apps are free?

Its because your attention is the cost.

So next time you go through your social media remember your time is worth something.
