Luck

We arw often told that succeds is simple. Work hard. Stay disciplined. Never give up.

There is truth in t UAT advice but it is incomplete.

Luck matters. A person can work incredibly hard and still miss an opportunity because the right person never noticed them. Some one else with less experience may happen to meet the right mentor and apply at the right time or be present when an unexpected oppertunity appears.

That does not mean that the successful person does not work hard but I'm reality he is not the only one to work hard.

It means effort is only one of the equation. Timing, circumstances, connectio, health, family back ground, economic conditions and countless events outside our control can influence where we end up. Two equally talented people can put in similar effort and still recieve completely different oppertunity simply because their circumstances are different.

This is why you should not feel guilty everytime you lose. Sometimes you genuinely did your best bit the oppertunity was not yours. Someone else will be having a better timing or better conditions it simply more luck. That does not automatically mean you were less talented or less deserving.

And the same is true when you win. Success is not always the proff of your hardwork. Sometimes you prepareed when the oppertunity appeared. Sometimes you were simply lucky.

Acknowledging luck does not dimnish your achievements. It makes you honest about them.

The same applies to failure. Loosing an oppertunity soed not automatically mean you failed. Soemtimes it was simply not your time.

But there is an difference between accepting bad luck and hearing that as an excuse. You cannot control when oppertunity arraives bit you can control whether you are prepared when it does. You can learn skills and build relationships and keep trying and put yourself in situations where luck has more chances to find you.

A person who applies for one job has one chance. A person who develops skills and meets people and tries different oppertunity and keeps showing up creates more chances for luck to work in their favour. So don't feel guilty when you win or feel ashamed when you die.

Soemtimes it is your time and sometimes it is other's.

Not every closed door is a verdict on your worth and not every upen door is a proof you you warned it alone.

Sometimes it is simply your time. And you have to use it. P
