The Illusion of Overnight Success
📌 Many people view others' success on social media as pure luck, overlooking the unseen struggles and efforts.
🤔 It is common to compare one's own journey to others', questioning resource availability and background similarity.
💔 The appearance of perfection often hides intense battles, loneliness, and self-doubt that individuals have overcome.

The Parable of the Idol and the Stepping Stone
🗿 An idol and a stepping stone, carved from the same rock, discussed their differing fates.
💥 The stepping stone complained about being walked over because it cracked at the first strike of the sculptor's hammer.
🧘 The idol endured every hammer and chisel blow with patience and a smile, resulting in worship and reverence.

Transformation Through Hardship
🛠️ Success is not handed over; it is carved relentlessly through continuous effort when no one is watching.
💖 Pain does not destroy; instead, it sculpts an individual into something beautiful and worthy of admiration.
🌟 Those currently facing trials are being shaped into something divine; eventually, others will call them "lucky."

Key Points & Insights
➡️ Do not attribute success solely to luck; recognize that it is the result of overcoming immense, unseen struggles.
➡️ View current challenges and painful experiences (the chisel blows) as necessary processes that are sculpting you toward a greater purpose.
➡️ Patience through suffering is crucial, as illustrated by the idol who accepted the painful blows to achieve reverence.
