Every player begins somewhere.
In a game, you create a character and receive starting stats.
In life, you are born—and your starting stats are decided for you.
Some begin with wealth, some with poverty.
Some are born healthy, others face illness from the start.
Some have families who guide them, while others must walk alone.
It may not seem fair, and often it is not.
But fairness was never part of the rules.
The truth is:
Your starting point matters, but it does not define your ending.
Think of your starting point as your "character creation."
Your family background is your origin story.
Your talents and abilities are your base skills.
Your environment is the map you begin on.
Some players have an easier first level, while others start on hard mode.
But remember this:
The strength of a player is not measured by where they begin, but by how far they go.
Just as in games, effort, learning, and choices allow you to grow beyond your starting stats.
The child who begins with nothing can still become a leader.
The one who starts weak can still become strong.
The one who begins in shadows can still find the light.
Your starting point is not your destiny.
It is simply your first checkpoint in the game of life.
