Who Are Privileged?

Privilege

Privilege has no color, no race, no religion, no gender, no state, no region and no nation.

Privilege is earned!

To those projecting their privilege onto others, privilege is disguised in overalls and looks like work. Privilege is not what the whiners, complainers and protesters want you to know. Their hypocrisy and mediocrity are blatant to anyone who knows what privilege really is. So, who is really privileged? To whom does privilege go to?

1.      Serving others. Privilege goes to those who serve and not to those who want to be served.

2.      Working. Privilege goes to those who work diligently hard, smart and over time and not to the slackers.

3.     Faith. Privilege goes to those with unwavering faith in a better future grounded in the brutal reality and not to the doubters.

4.      Caring. Privilege goes to those who take care of their bodies as sacred temples by providing the right nourishment to their bodies and minds along with proper amounts of exercise and rest and not to those who relinquish responsibility to take care for themselves.

5.      Investing. Privilege goes to those who invest heavily in their most valuable resource, their brains and not to those that leave their brains unguarded for someone else to program.

6.      Learning. Privilege goes to the voracious learners who read intentionally, listen, and associate with the right people and not to those who crave for entertainment continuously.

7.      Giving. Privilege goes to those who know and act on the belief that the future belongs to the givers and not the takers.

8.      Counting. Privilege goes to those who count their blessings for they are many and not to those always craving to take away from others.

9.      Mental fitness. Privilege goes to those who are mentally fit to deal with whatever comes at them and not to those who cry and crumble under pressure.

10.  Leadership. Privilege goes to those with a clear vision to leave a legacy of a better world for future generations and not to those whose negativity never accomplishes anything.

11.  Choice. Privilege goes to those who choose the harder life early on to develop the resilience needed to deal with the cynics and critics so others can have a chance to be privileged and not to those whose whining is so loud we can't hear what their saying.

12.  Opportunity. Privilege goes to those who choose to believe to see and pursue opportunities before they become obvious and not to those who want to see to believe.

13.  Action. Privilege goes to those who take swift action in an uncertain and changing world and not to those paralyzed by fear, negativity and inability to act.

14. Blessing. Privilege goes to those who feel blessed then become a blessing to others and not to those that are a curse to others.

How many of the 14 did you check YES? 

Next time you hear about privilege, think and study the above, before spreading misinformation and broken thinking of those who are envious of the truly privileged souls.
