Personally I think that the word "success" is an action word, so you can't get it if you don't put in some action and act towards that path, most successful men and women that I know didn't get wealth out of their inheritance as they had to put in some actions to be successful. Coming from the lineage of unsuccessful people you have to think differently and act differently, learn from the mistakes of others coming before you and avoid the same path they took, yeah, success is not meant for everyone but you can choose to be successful or not.
For sure success is an action word that you really need to act to see good result, although in the case of success to become wealthy there is no formula to acquire wealth but trying to achieve it despite their is no formula, so many things needs to be done trying to get success. I will also say success means work, you have to putting more energy to achieve success, it doesn't come by less effort . People need to try all the best they can to make sure to achieve success.
There are those people who had been thinking about on getting something or having that in possession but ending up on having no action been doing and just keep on thinking and planning on which its that laughable on this case. You can be able to tell that it is that laughable they they've been that expecting something to happen but they aren't doing any acts that would justify it out. This is the reason why that they do remain on what they are having now in terms of financial status. They will be that making out such act on the moment that they do able to realize on which they should have done it earlier. Success isn't something that could be achieved without doing hard work and time spent. Although it wont be giving out that sure outcome but at least you have tried rather than on sitting up all day without doing something.
