So does luck have anything to do in your life? Do you always land up at places because you work towards it and that is exactly where you are supposed to be, or are there times when you reach somewhere even when you weren't headed that way?
Writing this from my little apartment in Monaco I am confident enough to say that luck has a large role to play in things that happen in life. Looking back a few years, I had no idea that I would be 'sent' to Monaco for a year. Yes, I think I am on a mission and I have been sent here by God, or whosoever sits up there, to experience a little of life outside my comfort zone.
It would be wrong to say that luck just happens. Luck works towards what it wants to achieve in your life. So, there is you working on your life, planning it and then there is luck that is working on your life and planning it. At most times the two plans meet, but often there are situations when the plans do not coincide, resulting in the 'bad luck' or 'good luck' moments.
Just like there is no 'bad stress' and 'good stress', there is no 'bad luck' and 'good luck'. Whether you call stress bad or good depends on how it gets you to react in life and similarly what you call luck good or bad depends on how it makes you react in life. It is human nature to blame luck for things that don't happen according to our plans. But do we sit and notice that when good things do happen to our plans, it is also because of what luck has been planning for you? Well, that is normally just celebrated with a little jump in the air, a click of the feet and, "I'm just lucky". Yes you are, but you're also a horrible planner and that one person sitting up there saved you from falling into the ditch!
So sitting in my little apartment in Monaco I am actually just a horrible life planner. I thank that one up there for saving me from falling into the ditch. Or was I already in the ditch and he pulled me out before I sunk deeper? Hmmm, I guess I will never know that one, but I can just look forward to many more such moments when he grabs my hand and saves my life!
