Reality always speaks differently. The voice of reality is the voice of the universe. Reality speaks the truth and never lies. Life is a give-and-take trade of time; you get from life what you have invested your time doing. You cannot cheat nature. Nature rules with reality principles and truth. Those who discover the truth and heed reality principles thrive on the ladder of success and greater accomplishments.
The young man who desires greatness must sacrifice and fight for it. If you don't fight to the end, no one knows you have tried. The battle starts with fighting ignorance by investing in knowledge, fighting oneself with self-discipline, and eliminating all self-imposed limitations, and fiercely fighting poverty. The battles do not end there. You have to fight spiritual battles with investments in righteous living, prayer, and knowledge of scriptures. The realm of the spirits has influence in the physical world, so never stop investing in your spiritual life. Invest in your spirit to always be on the side of grace and winner in the real world battles and struggles.
