When We Get a Hand Up in Life, We Have a Responsibility

That responsibility is to make something of the hand up.  Make the most out of this opportunity.  Because NO ONE OWES US ANY F*CKIN THING in life.  No one.  It's up to each and every one of us to make our lives the best it can be.  So, in those rare circumstances where someone is willing and able to offer a hand, we have to seize that opportunity.  We can't sit around, do absolutely nothing to help ourselves.  How can we possibly expect someone to do more for us than we're willing to do for ourselves?!  Just one person who sits around waiting for others to make their life better is one too many.  Until they accept responsibility,
assert control over their own lives, they will forever be a vampire.  
They will forever suck the life out of everyone around them.
​Siphoning the resources around them with no thought
to how hard OTHER PEOPLE work to replenish those resources.    

What separates the haves from the have not's are the people with integrity.  The people who refuse to play victim.  The people who dust themselves off to  HELP THEMSELVES.  The people who understand it is ultimately up to us what our lives are like.  I use to think being useless was the worst thing a person can be.  Nope.  Uh uh.  Nyet!  Not even close. 

​THE WORST THING A PERSON CAN BE IS A BURDEN TO OTHERS.
