I once heard that luck is when preparation meets opportunity. I've always felt pretty lucky myself. Raised by intelligent and hard working parents in one of the highest standard of living countries in the world. My parents taught me well from a young age so i was able to excel in school. I still remeber being complimented by many of my teachers and even one of them pulling me aside and telling me i have to gift to do what ever i want in my life as long as i stick to it and give it a full effort. My later day in junior high and highschool we're a breeze. I was able to get through with little to no effort. Good at most sport without much effort either, something i attributed to natural gifts. During and after college things were great, i had plenty of friends and parties, causually dated lots of beautiful women. That lead to a few longer term girlfriends. Landed a pretty decent job where i got to travel lots and see tons of beautiful places on my journies. Then a few years ago i got fairly sick with an immunological disorder that would require me to be on multiple forms immunosuppresants that were also used as chemotherapy to treat some forms of cancer. Once the medical problems started i lost my girlfriend at the time. She didn't seem to want to be around a sickly guy with an uncertain future like myself. After the first two medications i was on failed to treat my condition depression started setting in. The luck i had come accustomed to seemed to be a thing of my past. Well everything in my life seemed to be taking a spiral down to toilet I decided to text a girl i had met a few years previous that I had a crush on. Well things ended up going good and now we have a handsome young lad and my medical condition is starting to look very optimistic that i will likely not need another chemotherapy infusion. After having a lot of time to reflect where I've come from and where I am today I've come to the conclusion that luck is a lot about how you look at things. If you have people that love you, a roof over your head and some food in your belly then consider yourself very lucky because many people don't have these luxuries and it can all be taken away in seconds. A few things that can possibly increase your luck are having an optimisic point of veiw. Living life in the moment. Working hard. And strive to become one with the universe, you'll be surprised what she has to offer you. Love you all. Peace be upon you and stay blessed.
