Unless you're pretty, intelligent, lucky or rich

You're going to struggle

You'll find it impossible to do good in the world and get recognised for it
You'll live in a shadow

Everyone will suspect you, judge you, wonder aimlessly about your intentions.

You'll never be given a shot. I used to think this a lot. 
I used to live by this notion, religiously; there was no other way around it.

Life had to go on and that's how it did.

Until someone said to me; that this motion is useless, that it won't benefit anyone.

Unless
Unless you wanted to be a model, a man of medicine, a risk-taking gambler or a figure of the stock market.

Unless your heart wishes to pursue such a career, then your notion is flawed.

I wanted to be happy, so, why was I living by such a flawed idea that didn't apply to me?

Unless you're pretty, intelligent, luck or rich

You're going to struggle

Screw the notion.

Screw such an idea.
