It’s sad and amusing at the same time when people come across with the perception that good fortune comes from luck.
That is absolutely balderdash and misleading. Good fortune has to find you working on it.
Yes, indeed there are those who have been beneficiary’s of fortune that they’ve not necessarily worked for, by virtue of birth or winning a lottery, but the ratio is so insignificant for anyone to fold their hands and expect lady luck to come smiling with shiny teeth.
Remember the saying that ‘HEAVEN helps those who help themselves.
When you take those necessary steps each day, things align and the windows of possibilities keeps opening up.

Haha! Just don’t hang your boots in there with baited breath. If it happens, then awesome. It should just be a bonus 😉

Amen!! Funny, because I don’t like to use the word luck, as in telling someone, “Good luck” for anything. I usually like to say something like, ‘hoping for the best”, because life is mostly about reaping what we sow;) Great quote, dear Jacqueline!
I also wanted to stop by and let you know that I recently moved to a self-hosted site and the following is the latest post:

Oh wow! That’s a good move Nena to self host. I prefer hoping for the best too. I will sneak in and have a look at your new site. I am hoping my authors’ site will be self hosted.

It is quite a move for sure, but I like that you can tailor things better:) Once you’re ready to take the leap, I will be more than willing to help in what I am able:)

It is, but in months to come, you’ll be glad you did so. You still get the benefits of WordPress I presume? On your new platform, would you be able to advertise or take on adverts?

Yes, I still have WordPress and I will have the opportunity to advertise if I would like;)

I don’t believe in luck. I say instead blessed (or perhaps someone isn’t happy with you!) Credit where credit is due.
