There is always talk
on St. Patrick’s Day
about the ‘luck of the Irish.’
(the irony is that many historians
believe this saying originally referred to BAD luck,
not good luck).
And you’ll likely hear people say today
“I just have to get lucky”
like that will solve all of their problems.
Ummm… no.
They don’t JUST have to get lucky
and it WON’T solve all of their problems.
Yes,
luck is an element in any success
but it is never the only element.
Even lottery winners have to enter the drawings.
Something has to be DONE
to supplement the luck.
And the more that is done,
the luckier a person is likely to be.
Luck also isn’t the solution
to all of a person’s problems.
Many lottery winners end up broke
because some of their problems
(like poor money management skills)
didn’t magically disappear
with their stroke of good luck.
Luck favors those who DO.
Get out there
and make luck happen.
