A brief meditation

[Dids]

[ QUOTE ]
Reflecting on my past and present circumstances, I have come to a general and a personally specific conclusion about life.

1) Life is mostly about the combination of luck and character.

2) Whatever I possess of the former is more than made up for by my deficits in the latter.

That is all.

I think long term, luck has very very very little to do with life. You have much more control over your path than you want to accept. You've just made choices that have removed all of that control from your hands.
