Luck may be an opportunity, an opportunity that is seized and something wonderful results, or it may be an opportunity wasted that dwindles away and is never recognized for the possibilities that existed. Worse yet, it may result in something unfavorable and become labeled as bad luck.
Persistence is what makes the difference for most people during their “luck” encounters. Those who discover an opportunity unfolding and make a commitment to the pursuit of that opportunity often may find others labeling their success as luck.
Some argue that they never have any luck. Others argue that we all have about the same amount of luck, but it is what we do with those opportunities that make the difference. Not everyone will win the lottery, not everyone will get the same opportunities, but it seems that those who are the most unlucky are those who are committed to nothing.
Be persistent in your pursuit, stick with it, push hard, be committed, and most of all – give luck a chance!

"...committed to nothing." Now that is a profound statement! Thought provoking indeed!
ReplyDeleteSuggestion: add that statement to your DG quote book!
Well, perhaps that is one for the quote book! Thanks for the suggestion!

I would imagine luck does as well.
Sometimes people quit or give up too early! Sometimes luck needs a chance.
