“The lion who breaks the enemy’s ranks is a minor hero compared to the lion who overcomes himself.” – Rumi
People who are not doing well are probably doing destructive things..bad habits and behaviors, even though they may seem tough. They cannot overcome the need for immediate gratification, to feel better than others by bringing them down, flaws in their character, or deficiencies in their knowledge and understanding.
It’s the people who can conquer themselves and develop self-control and self-discipline, exhibit good character and act to make others’ lives better that are the most successful.
Lead yourself first.
