Does Luck Really Matter?
I truly believe that in life, there are no coincidences.
People, opportunities, and new paths don’t just appear… they show up when you’ve proven you’re ready.
When people start reaching out as you begin to do well, it’s easy to take it personally.
“They only wanna be around me ’cause I’m doing something.”
But the truth is, no one wants to hang around someone who isn’t adding value.
It’s not about them suddenly noticing you. It’s alignment.
You showed up when no one was watching. You did the work when it was uncomfortable.
And now the right people want to connect.
Some call it luck, but that’s never the case.
It’s dedication to the vision you had long before there was any evidence.
At a certain point in life, you can’t call it luck anymore.
Calling it “luck” is demeaning to everything you’ve done to get here.
You know the sacrifices you made. You know the hours you put in. You know what this actually cost you.
If it was luck, everyone would have the results.
