Often in life, when we do not succeed, we label the situation as "not in favor of us". We think that we were/are unlucky but no one can be blamed for this. It's very easily understandable that when the situation is not in your favor, you blame the situation above all. Having said that, when we achieve something, who do we give the credit to? Let me not be a diplomat and say that when I achieve success, I give all the credit to myself. Call me selfish but most of us DO.
We work hard, achieve success and we deserve some credit, don't we! :) Moreover, after endless of hard work, achieving success is the least we expect. This is just human nature. But, what if your hard fought success makes everyone else jealous? What if they call your success purely coincidental and label you "lucky"?
Sometimes in life, our success has to do largely with destiny. Hypothetically saying, what if a day at work goes totally wrong but at the end of the day, you meet an old friend, talk a little and he/she offers you a job in his/her company.. Isn't this purely coincidental! And this is just a hypercritical example, there are so many situations in life when something you NEVER thought of/about happens and works in your favor, destiny you may call it.
If I were to name a famous celebrity that is often labeled "lucky", the first person that comes to my mind is, MS Dhoni. I however, do not agree with this. You may believe that he is lucky and perhaps he is, but can you overlook the extreme hard work he has done to come from a small town - Ranchi, worked as a ticket collector, then gradually just because of never losing hope and continuously working hard, has made a name for himself as a terrific leader, has played for India and not only played but is now arguably the GREATEST Indian captain ever.
This therefore raises the point, do you believe in Destiny, hard work & luck? Do you believe in any 1 of the 3 or you believe in all 3 of them, firmly believing that they're interconnected? According to me, I do believe they're interconnected. Destiny along with hard work and due luck certainly plays a huge role in life. Do post your views.. :)
