In the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day yesterday, it’s worthwhile to think about luck and the role that it plays in our lives. Although some things certainly happen by chance, we can always control our response and what we do about the situations life throws at us.
Hard work and sweat equity are important ingredients in accomplishing any goal. It’s not just about luck. If you look at any of the people we deem to be successful they have all had ‘lucky breaks’ along the way. However, the common factor of their success stories is that they were never deterred despite all the bad things that happen. So, the moral of the story is to never use ‘bad luck’ as an excuse to not keep trying. We can accomplish great things, despite the ‘luck’ in our lives.
