Life is also full of people thinking that if others followed their exact steps there would be no way they could turn their life around. They're often just as wrong.

Yeah, the logic seems sound but is a bit what-about.

The problem is that it is a lot of luck and some strong resolve but the luck is very important.
People should grab the reigns of their life and try to get out of a bad situation but if life paths barely work for motivation then life paths to get out of sharing the same odds does make it quite the uphill battle.

I just want to recognize that as trying so hard to get that perfect life turnaround is like winning the lottery and while people shouldn't stop trying I don't want them to be burned out by the lack of response to their efforts in this complicated world.
