Trust only and only in God in every moment, and you can let go of every other worry about your life. You can let go of worrying about money, survival, approval, power, happiness. All you need will come to you exactly when you need it when you only focus on this. You will feel like an emperor even if you have nothing, even no clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Box-sc-9env3-0 Text-jjrgda-0 QTextPara___StyledText-anoo6m-0 fSlQBa qtext_para\"><span>For examples to this, examine the life of Ramana Maharshi (owns a few pieces of clothes \ud83d\ude42 ) and Trailanga (I read about him from the book Autobiography of a Yogi.

A self realized person is successful no matter what. Because the inner experience is the realization that all is the Self. Sooner or later this must be realized for a continuous experience of success.. so a decent thug life.. must not be an aspiration for a life cheat\/hack.. either you realize fully.. or ignorance remains.. Efforts are not wasted but one must aim for full self realization or whatever was aimed for will be only a temporary state of experience. This is what I felt like adding to the answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will base my answer on this definition of Thug Life: \u201cThug life\u00a0means opposite of someone having all he needs to succeed.\u00a0Thug life\u00a0is when you have nothing, and succeed, when you have overcome all obstacles to reach your aim\u201d from Urban Dictionary.
