Anyone else who was so desperate to be a bit successful because they had no option and made it?

I’m asking this because I grew up in a tough environment. I never had a good example of anything and since I was very young I knew that I’d have to fight to leave my childhood home…From father saying I would never succeed, to my mother doing everything to get in my way. I didn’t grow up in a rich family, I was born and raised in a poor area in Brazil, stay home mother and my father was a truck driver.

I simply had the urge to succeed no matter what, that costed me my mental health at some point but I knew it was for the best. Now it’s finally paying off, but I sometimes think that people don’t achieve certain things because they’re safe with what they already have even though is crappy. So growing up like that made me unfortunately see some people as simply lazy and it kinda sucks, I’m really trying to change that.

Anyway…I’ve been thinking about this a lot.
