If nobody was there to save you, what would be the point of saving yourself?

If there is a God and He is on your side, then every step forward is a divine act as your will matches His.

I personally think it's better to recognize that nobody is going to bail you out, and become your own hero.

/u/USSDefiantJazz you know this for instance, nobody gave you success, nobody handed your your career, you worked for it.

You get paid because you have a skillset that they desperately need, and they're willing to pay you a lot to do it.

Thanks man, while I'd love to attribute 100% of what I've accomplished to me, I am sure that God was there for me and gave me luck in certain things too.

It was you, never forget that, but your inspiration came from your belief.

You can pray for a million dollars, or you can pray for strength as you fight your way out of a hole.

It is the old shit in one hand and hope in the other saying, if you refuse to change what got you there to begin with, you just end up with a handful of air or shit...

Lately I've been thinking a lot about alternate timelines, as in, what would have happened if X happened, and two come to mind.

There were two girls I dated when I was in my late teens to early 20s where it didn't work out and for the longest time I grieved over them.

But this weekend I was thinking what would have happened if I had ended up with either of them, and knowing me at the time and knowing them, those would have been very dark timelines where I would not have become financially successful or progress up the ladder in my career the way I did because I did not end up with them and would have likely ended up poor and destitute.

There's an old saying "Rejection is God's protection" and I'm thinking I was protected at the time by God.
