The difference between succeeding and failing boils down to loyalty. If you have the support of your friends, family, and community, then there’s no reason why you can’t achieve success. Loyalty is a precious treasure; it cannot be bought but only earned!
Loyalty means that you will never betray that which or who you have pledged your allegiance in the form of commitment. Loyalty is not restricted to human relationships; it includes personal goals and promises made to oneself.
In modern society today, everything is fast-paced and rapidly changing. That’s why our goals, desires, and wishes are transient too. People make shallow promises which is the major cause of human suffering and distress.
