About This Quote
I'm not a person who thinks they can have it all, but I certainly feel that with a bit of effort and guile I should be able to have more than my fair share. Generally, people are not happy with their lives unless there is something they are unhappy about. There is always something someone wants more of; whether it be money, love, fame or happiness. Everyone would like to believe that they can attain all of these things in life, but the truth is that this is unlikely to be possible.
We all must make sacrifices along the way and often difficult decisions must be made. People often feel that they can help others attain their desires without making sacrifices themselves. But this is not the case, there are no plans in place for everyone to succeed and those who fail must do so alone.
The only way people like us will ever attain our goals is by putting in the work and doing what we know is right for ourselves first.
