Today is St. Patrick’s Day,
a day I always associate
with good luck.
Every successful person
I have ever known
has benefited from
good luck
in some form.
I won the birth lottery
having been born
in North America.
If I had been born
in South Africa,
for example,
my life would have been
VERY different.
I also won a full scholarship,
which meant I graduated
with little debt.
Sure, I applied for
hundreds of scholarships
but other students did that also
and didn’t end up
with full scholarships.
A portion of that was
luck.
My list of lucky breaks
is very, very long.
I’ve experienced bad luck also,
of course.
Everyone does.
But my good luck
has vastly outweighed my bad
and that has made a tremendous difference
in my life.
Good luck plays a factor
in success.
Don’t discount it.
And when you become successful,
be grateful for it.
You ARE lucky.
Not everyone is.
