Overcoming Life’s Unfairness

Overcoming Life's UnfairnessToday, I was excited to read articles about the top tennis stars and their performances in the US Open.Unfortunately, I had to sift through many articles and comments about Jessica Pegula's parents (owners of Buffalo Bills) and Emma Navarro's wealthy family too.Yes, it's true, these athletes and many people in the world have financial advantages.But as Thomas Sowell says: "There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs."There are consequences to every advantage. There are advantages to every misfortune.To those who don't have financial resources, you also may not be burdened with certain pressures and expectations. Use that to your advantage. Do the work, develop your skills and highlight your strengths so that someone with resources will choose you to support.To those who do have financial resources, let others focus on you and talk about you. If they're talking about you, it means they're not focusing 100% on themselves. Use that to your advantage. Do the work, develop your skills and highlight your strengths to makes the most of the opportunities you have.To everyone, let's all turn off the distracting noise. And if you're contributing to the noise, stop it!Let's all focus on skillset and mindset - something we all can develop no matter where we come from.Click the video below for today's Mental Toughness Moment
