Is Luck By Chance?
Be it an exam in school or a stage performance, the most common words that were uttered by our well-wishers were ‘Best of luck’. I don’t know and it might be strange for you but I have never liked this line, maybe because I never ‘got lucky’ or maybe I do not believe in the concept of being lucky. We normally see a happy couple or a successful person or a pampered pet and think ‘oh my god! How lucky he is’ or ‘ lucky couple, hmm’. But what I feel is that luck is not by chance. What we get is connected to the way we treat our lives and most importantly how we behave. The person who is successful is because of his/her hard work, it was the daring to surpass all the problems that led them to that stage.
There might be an argument that we have seen people winning a lottery and getting rich instantly. But my friend, maybe what you see is half the picture. There might be the case that the person had bought lottery ticket regularly, thinking that he might win it someday. This shows his dedication towards what he is thinking.
Being born as an human being what we can do is to be passionate about whatever we are doing. There might be cases when you do not like your job or you want to pursue something of your dream but you are bound to leave all that for the sake of your family. In that case, take a deep breath, roam a little and go back to what you are doing. But this time, do your job in such as way that you get some time just for yourself. In that span of time do whatever you want to, read good books, plan a vacation, browse old memories, pen down your emotions or just go to bed and relax. Next day when you will get up, you will feel more energised and focused because you are no longer doing your usual thing. With this attitude you will take one small but steady step towards a fulfilling life. And for living such life, what you need is self-determination and not luck.
Just know your worth and the world will follow.
