Use what you have

Don't waste a lot of time making judgments about what you have. Instead, put it to use.
Stop complaining that it's not enough or that it's not fair. Just get busy and make the most of it.
Fighting against what already is, will only slow you down. Instead, make good and productive use of what is, whatever it may be, and you'll find many ways to move forward.
If you wait until things are perfect before taking action, that day will never come. Use what you have, as flawed and imperfect as it may seem, and you'll soon be making massive improvements to it all.
Don't worry about comparing what you have to what others may or may not have. Just concern yourself with doing the best you can do.
Start from where you are, with what you have, and persistently do what you know you must do. There is no limit to where you can go.

Opportunity is Everywhere

There's no need to spend a lot of time looking for opportunity. It is everywhere, and every day more opportunities are being created.
There is always work to be done. There is always value to be created.
Instead of waiting for a new opportunity or searching for the perfect opportunity, go ahead and get to work. Make the most of some of the opportunities that are already here and now.
There is great value that can be created on this very day. There are problems that can be solved, processes that can be improved upon, and endless ways to be purposefully creative.
Opportunities are worthless unless they are acted upon. Choose to take the actions that will turn the best opportunities into real and lasting achievements.
Opportunity is everywhere, already, right now. Step forward and put it to work.
-- Ralph Marston
