Luck

I watched the Masters show of Oprah on OWN once and what really struck me was when she said she does not believe in luck and luck could only be associated in winning the lottery. She denies that she is lucky. In my own words, I understood that what she has attained in life is a product of her certainty of what she wanted to do and the universe working to hand it all to her.

It was last week or so when I watched an interview with Judge Judy and it really astounded me that when asked by the interviewer what had landed her on television, she answered it was luck, being at the right place at the right time.

These are two powerful, influential, successful, wealthy, and famous women and they have differing opinions on what brought them to where they are.

I could not totally discount luck in my belief because there had been times when things would happen to me and I could definitely say it was luck--good or bad. But then, some of my fortunes, too, were the direct or indirect outcomes of my labor. So for me, my life is a blend of both.
