Oh, indeed. I'm more than aware of this and in fact, the "
long and winding road" actually means
more than a short lifetime.
As you may see, we're all on different level and yes, we all start on a different level when we born already, because we all continue our journey where we last finished, and sometimes we manage to carry some things with ourselves. Indeed, some people carries many knowledge, wisdom and power carved in their life what they fought for, suffer for, risk for, and sweat blood for and earned already, so they have an advantage, but this is not because they are spoiled. It's because they went for it in spite of the circumstances.
Look at the evolution. The still alive creatures are a fruit of a LONG history, a truly tiring and ceaseless fight for survival to evolve and be able to stand still. Wherever you go you can see, real strength / power never comes free.
My life was, in spite of how many things I managed to bring with myself, still was a terrible fight, where several rape attempts, molestation, domestic violence and murder attempts, also suicide happened. Was it easy to carry out? Of course not, but easy times will not make strong people nor make you evolve and overcome what you face. What life ultimately taught to me:
- You're alone a complete being
- Weakness is a choice
- Taking care of yourself, loving yourself and fighting for yourself; these are all YOUR duties, so not expect anyone to do these for you
Yes, this life of mine was about to give a different lesson to me at this time, than I got in the previous ones. Or maybe I just failed in those. All what matters is to take the lessons you get, because it all part of your development, to become stronger.
A wise Spirit once said; "
[...] Comparing themselves to those around them lead to weakness and stunts their growth."
It has it good side, but if our mind is poisoned, it'll lead to our own fall. We're all fighting a war on different levels. What is the point of comparing ourselves to anyone else around? The only thing what truly matters is to be
strong enough to fight those fights which are meant to be yours. This is the reason why you have those fights, and not any others'. Your soul is pretty much knows what it's doing, so trust in it. Or should I say, trust in
yourself?
