#5 “I am not that lucky,” they say

Luck favors those who work hard, those who are determined. We have heard this phrase numerous times. We knew it. We understand it.

Yet, when our turn comes, we repeat the same old dialogue. I am not lucky. 

Life is not happening in a Casino, to achieve something by chance, by luck. You want something from heart means that the thing is meant for you. You only have to believe and work towards it. There is no space for luck, when you are working hard to make that happen.

Not convinced yet! I will tell you an incident that had happened with me.

I had the dream of turning a writer since childhood. The dream grew with my age. And in 2001, I wrote first few chapters of my, to be, book. The story was located in Russia. I had never been to Russia even in my dreams. The scenery I portrayed in the story were from the knowledge I had about the country acquired through reading.Then, major part was purely imagined.

However, I couldn’t continue writing due to certain reasons. The novel remained untouched in the faded pages of my diary. Though, the eager want to write a book located in Russia remained young inside me. 

 

It was exactly after nine years, in 2010, I got an opportunity to go to Russia for some official purpose. That too for three years! It was a thing I had never expected. In fact, some other persons were actually selected for the deputation. But, my name clicked at the last moment due to certain reasons (again!!).

There in Russia I wrote my first (The Ribbon Trap) and second book (which is being edited presently). The surprising fact is that Russia is the location for the second book. And remember the story for the book had begun way back in 2001!

Therefore remember, don’t go behind luck. Don’t sit idle thinking that you are unlucky. Forget everything and embark on your mission. Put on hard work, put your heart into it. Give life to the dream. 

And your dream will give back a life worth living.
