Please do not confuse someone who makes it look easy with "just having it easy" or "just having had an easy life". Strength is gained through facing adversity. This someone worked hard for their "ease".

Please do not confuse someone who has surrendered to the synchronicity of life with "just being lucky". Faith and trust are gained through facing fear. This someone worked even harder for their "luck".

Please do not confuse your journey with someone else's. EVERY individual has his or hers unique set of circumstances and challenges to face, regardless of what presents on the surface. You will gain strength and build faith when you surrender to and work on your journey.
