Aaaah yes, luck. That mysterious force that apparently shows up out of nowhere and lands on your desk like any delivery package.
Except – well, no.
The people who say “you were just lucky” usually weren’t there at 11:47 p.m. when you were rewriting the thing for the fifth time. Or when you shipped the version that didn’t work. Or when you pitched the idea and got ghosted. Again.
Luck is real, sure. But it’s extremely picky. It prefers hanging out with people who are already sweating. People who show up. People who hit “publish” even when no one’s watching.
So yes, maybe you got lucky.
But it’s weird how luck only seems to visit the ones who’ve been grinding in the dark for years.
Funny how that works.
