"I just got lucky." I can't imagine a more cruel thing to say to someone who has nothing to show for the last 10 years of their life. To say "I just got lucky," is to tell them there's nothing they can do to make a better life. No matter what decisions they make, no matter how hard they work, none of that matters. There's nothing they can do. It's to say, "If luck doesn't smile on you, your life will be meaningless, and you will die miserabe and irrelevent." It's words of discouragement. To say "I just got lucky." Is to wish others harm.
Great message. I'm here because I woke up one day and realised I didn't like where my life was going. It's never too late to change direction, learn something new, do things differently. You don't have to have it all mapped out; take it one step at a time and let little everyday decisions compound in your favour View quoted note →
Sometimes people get lucky when they are offered the opportunity to develop personal strength, resilience and personal wealth from loved ones dying traumatic deaths or suffering life limiting illnesses, from war, from childhood trauma, from permanent injuries, from a vast, humanity wide set of variables. We are all lucky to be on our paths. Life is a long winding path friens. Gratitude and humility are beautiful attributes
Sometimes it’s just about working hard… and being lucky enough to grab the right ticket 🎟️🍀 I just launched a little #bitcoin lottery project, hoping to create some winners (and maybe stack a few sats for myself too 🐒⚡)

testing zaps for this note… your profile only specifies a nip05 nostr address, but not a lightning address, so we tried to zap your nip05 address.... we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at contact@lightning-lottery.com, over a period of 3 minutes. in each case, we found that your lightning address service or server did not respond correctly. if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address --

Free Lightning vaults, and instant, disposable Lightning Nodes.
 ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚡zap test again.
Raising kids is different. Nobody tells you that you got lucky when you have a huge family. (8+ kids) They know it's non-stop hard work 24/7. And when your children turn out to be amazing, smart, outgoing, healthy, and well rounded, they know that you of put in the work. No luck assumed by anyone.
