The Rigged Game You Don't Have to Play
Picture this: a woman stands up after a packed keynote speech and challenges everything the speaker just said. Success isn't about hustle, she insists - it's about privilege. Rich parents. Elite schools. The right connections. Her frustration echoes what millions feel: the game is rigged, and most of us weren't dealt winning cards. Here's the uncomfortable truth she was half-right about: the game *is* rigged. Student debt has ballooned to $1.2 trillion, wages have stagnated, and nearly 90% of workers feel emotionally disconnected from their jobs. The traditional path - school, job, mortgage, retirement - has become a trap designed to keep us in line. But here's what that skeptical woman missed: you don't have to play by those rules. You can manufacture your own luck, discover hidden talents, and build momentum toward a life you actually want. This isn't about working harder within a broken system. It's about decisive action that creates opportunities where none seemed to exist.
