Will 'GOOD THINGS' Come To Those Who Wait?

 

So sorry, I spoiled this poster because I just DON'T agree with it.  HOW often do we hear:  GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT  Seriously?  Everytime I heard that, I'll blurt out:  WHAAAT?  WHAT world are you living in dude?  The whole 'GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT' notion is no less than a fallacy for most of us.  The truth is that WHAT most of us experience is that doors DON'T just open and good things DON'T just come because we wait for them✅✅✅

Personally, I DON'T presume to know that this HASN'T been and is NOT the truth for someone, somewhere, somehow.  Maybe good things have come to some WHO have just waited.  Maybe doors have indeed just magically opened for some?  I accept that sometimes this might be true for the people WHO said them, WHO came up with them OR coined them.  Maybe that was their reality?  BUT it's NOT mine though and it ISN'T the reality for any accomplished ones I know❌❌❌

WHAT's interesting and WHAT pushes my curiosity farther and deeper is HOW and WHAT drives some people to excel, WHAT motivates their discipline and WHAT steps have they taken to realize their dreams?  WHAT I learned though is that successful and fulfilled people are NOT waiting for things to happen. Peope WHO are working in their dream careers are NOT waiting for anything to happen.  Instead, they pay the price.  HOW?  They hustle💥💥💥

Let me blurt things out here.  Waiting for good things to happen and hoping for someone to open a door to open reflects that passive and undetermined path towards one's success [and just the thought of it leaves me feeling so powerless, honestly].  I read this in one of our literary pieces before:  THE DREAM IS REAL BUT THE HUSTLE IS SOLD SEPARATELY.  Dude, that is NO LESS than a brutally frank statement.  SO HOW?  We just have to step up and lead our own journeys, create our own experiences and carve our own paths.  True, that is NOT a trial rehearsal, a pre-test OR practice exam.  This is it, dude😡😡😡

Our takeaway:  This thread poses more questions for us.

WHO really wants to sit around waiting for something?

WHO among us is waiting around for the door to open?

WHO wants to yield all of his power to someone's whims?

True, sometimes miracles do happen [BUT those are very extremely rare outliers].  In those very rare instances, maybe a door will indeed get opened to us out of the blue.  Want to wait for those outliers?  Go ahead, good luck dude BUT should we NOT pay the price to make things happen?  Much as hope is good, even hope itself requires action so I strongly belief we need to go out there and hustle.  After all, GOOD THINGS DON'T COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT!!!
