As quickly as luck swings your direction, it also swings away.

Call it whatever you want: luck, chance, fortune, fate, or timing. It swings both directions. Helping you one moment, opposing you the next. With you awhile, until it’s against you. Don’t replace gratitude in good times with bitterness in bad times.

You decide the most important qualities of how you live whether or not luck is on your side. To be grateful only when you’re successful is to find yourself bankrupt when fortune favors someone else or when the winds of chance push you into a dark storm.

Embrace the chase. Do the work.
