You really got my attention now; care to share some of those improbable situations with the world? Hopefully those improbable situations ended with positive results.That sounds really encouraging @elementm!

In my case, I've never been "lucky" as far as winning stuff; I generally have to work for what I have. However, I have almost always come out on the winning end where it really matters - health, living conditions and the like. I feel very fortunate and I'm grateful for what I have.

I also believe that we are able to influence our destiny to some extent by what we think, so optimism is a prerequisite to obtaining something you desire.

I wish you much success!

Thanks! You actually inspired me to write a post about one of those improbable situations: https://steemit.com/steemit/@elementm/i-shouldn-t-even-be-on-steemit . I wish you success too!
