Why do some people succeed with fewer resources and some people fail after having everything?

When you have less, every opportunity feels like oxygen.
You fight harder, you notice openings others overlook, and you take the uncomfortable risks.

When you have more, it’s easy to confuse comfort with progress.
Abundance can dull urgency, and without urgency, even great potential can wither.

But it’s not just drive, it’s also about meaning.

The people who rise from fewer resources often tie their success to something bigger than themselves: lifting their family, proving their worth, changing their circumstances.
That meaning becomes fuel.

Meanwhile, someone with every tool in hand may still fail if they lack a reason strong enough to use them.
