Abu Lahya: Is Life FAIR? #muslim #entrepreneur #business #islam

So life is fair, but it's not equal. And the lesson to learn here is that we are all dealt different cards. When you're born, you have this country, this family, this background, and you don't really have a choice and a say on what those cards are. But what you have a say on is how you play the game. And instead of making excuses and contemplating your cards and keep saying, oh, I have these bad cards and I have this family and this is not easy for me and this guy has it easier than me. Instead, what you can do is say, look, this is what I have. I'll make the most out of what I have. And I'll figure things out. And you have so many stories from people who pulled off the underdog story, going from nothing to actually becoming successful. And they were so successful because instead of making excuses, they said, look, these guys have different cards, I have different cards. I won't look at what they have, I won't make excuses. I thank Allah for the cards that I was given, and I just figure things out with what I have. I'll play the game with the cards that were dealt to me.
