A little ice-berg in the way

The thing about life is, you don't always get what you want.
No matter how hard you pray or cry or beg, it doesn't just fall into your palms without a little effort put in along the way.
That's the hardest part: the effort. However, do note that you've reached here to this point in your life and you'd gone through all the shits that came towards you.
This makes your whole life more filled with meaning.
