You can't have anything you want to have in your life if you just sit around and do nothing about it. Real life doesn't work like that. If you really want to have something in your life, you can only get it if you go after it, because it's only then and it's only then you can truly deserve it, you can truly earn it, and you can truly get it. There's no other path towards it. If you want to have something, you have to deserve it, and you have to earn it first.
And the only way you can truly deserve it and earn it is by putting some amount of effort into it. If what you want isn't small, but is in fact very big, then you have to put in immense amount of effort into it. But if it's small, and it's not very big, then a little bit of effort is more than enough. It's important to remember though that you can't achieve it without effort. There's no achievement, if you aren't willing to do what it takes. But there's also no hatred, judgment, envy, and there's especially no regret, if you are willing to do exactly what it takes.
You have to do what it takes. We all have to do what it takes, if YOU! want to make something of your life, if WE! want to make something of our lives. Otherwise all YOU! can do, all WE! can do is complain about ugly things YOU!, WE! can't control, and completely ignore and miss out on all the beautiful things that YOU!, WE! can. I read an entry today. Doesn't matter whose entry it was. I was just touched by it. So this isn't me telling you what you need to do, this is me sharing my thoughts I've written out of hope that the person whose entry I've read is going to read them. No more, no less.
