"Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." - Theodore Roosevelt We don't all start in the same place. Some have better genetics, some are gifted with higher IQ's, better opportunities, better family backgrounds, better economic wealth, and so forth. However, the wise know this. When we were born, the world awaited each of us with its' difficulties and opportunities. It is our actions and where they lead that matter in this world...not our excuses of where we started or how little we had. There is always someone with less that did more, not just in wealth/education/athletics/looks but in being a decent human being with a sense of fairness and integrity. As the French Foreign Legion are taught, you must work with what is available. The harsh world doesn't care what little you had or how weak you were....you live or you die with what you have. Excuses and the pity of others don't get you thru the deserts or cold winters of life. In relationships, John Tesh stated the secret to long lasting marriages consisted of two things above all else. Communication and hard work. Hard work...you have to push on, not pondering what little you had or how difficult it is, but to make it work in the situation as it is. Good soldiers do that. The best forces in the world are taught to succeed with a very limited set of resources. Relationships are not much different. As Pat Benatar once sang, "Love Is A Battlefield". |
