Why Do Bad People Always Succeed and You Don’t?

A couple of years ago, I remember watching this guy I knew from Uni buy car after car.

Dropping YouTube videos flexing his lifestyle whilst I was broke and depressed stuck in my room all day.

I was so upset at how my life was and I asked myself…

Why do people who do bad things always succeed and I don’t?

I asked everyone around me why and it made me question God.

Everyone I asked told me they’d get their “karma” but till this day they’re still living fine and from the looks of it, things look great.

So what’s the difference between you and them?

They take what they want and you sit around and wait for it to come to you aka “manifest”.

You might be the nicest person in the world but you are afraid of stepping on a few toes.

You want to be ethical.

You want to do things the right way.

You want to earn it properly.

That’s fine, there’s nothing wrong with having morals.

The problem is you use that as an excuse to not move at all.

Meanwhile, people with no morals are out here making moves.

Going after opportunities without second guessing themselves.

They’re not smarter than you.

They’re not more talented.

They’re just more willing to act.

You can be a good person and still be aggressive.

You can have principles and still go after what you want.

The two aren’t opposites.

Bad people succeed because they don’t hesitate.

They see what they want and they go get it.

You see what you want and you wait.

You overthink.

You wonder if you are deserving of it.

That’s the difference.

Stop using being a good person as an excuse to play small.

Take what you want.

Do it the right way if that matters to you.

Because nobody’s going to hand it to you.
