Ever heard your friends complain that life isn’t fair?
Well, they’re right. But that’s great news! Think about it; a completely fair life would be like hard-core communism. No matter what you did, you would still do exactly the same as everybody else. Your actions wouldn’t matter.
But because life isn’t fair, your decisions matter! You can make a huge difference to your life by making the right decisions, finding your mission in life and values etc.
Most people go through life like a sea boat without navigation. They occasionally stumble across a tropical island of bliss, but then leave again, and spend most of their days just floating around aimlessly.
You, on the other hand, can become an experienced captain, set on a course for a treasure island. And you’re already well on your way – hey you’re reading a personal development blog! You have taken the first and most important step – learning to improve yourself.
You could say that life being unfair is great because you can easily get ahead of all those people who sleepwalk their way through their lives. That’s definitely a point, but I don’t think that really matters.
It doesn’t matter that you can easily do better than others.
What matters is that you can easily do great, in absolute terms!
So don’t worry about life being unfair. On the contrary – celebrate it! In this unfair world, you can truly make a difference with your actions.

I think that greatest fairness of life is that everybody gets value they put in universe by working with our body, mind and soul.
Problem is that some people just can’t get good mix of that three.
The really unfair thing is that there is always somebody who is able to reach the same goal with half the effort.
Of course, people always say „Be happy with what you are and what you can and do not compare with others all the time” but that’s easier said than done.
@Mike:
Uhh, yeah. Then again, most people won’t even put in 10% of the effort, so if you really decide you want something, you’ll be fine
