I've noticed that a good number of the big self development gurus (Assaraf, Demartini, Vitale, others from The Secret) had rough spots in their lives that became the motivation point for success. I've thought about it and it seems like those who have it really bad have a reason to do better, it's like they have more motivation to do what needs to be done. It seems to me, in a way, that they're better off like that, because the mother of all invention (or progress in this case) is need. So does it seem like to you, 'middle class' people with decent everything have a harder time reaching success? I'm a part of that demographic and I've thought about that before. It's probably not the best belief for me to hold...but it seems logical to me at the time.

Thoughts?
