Everyone wants the ends meet without the struggles. I get it. And understand. We do get lucky in little things because the universe always rewards the ones who put the effort. Many times people have no idea what we went through to get were we are, and yes, they think we are lucky. I consider myself to be lucky, wanna know why? because I have never given up on myself, regardless. And yes, you are so correct, it is never too late to start aknew, but we need to stop looking to past, and focus and embrace the present. Past is done, cannot be changed but life is moving forward with an open heart.

Haha love the intro man. There's a funny thing about believing you're lucky. If you believe that you're lucky, you are more open to receiving those opportunities that could be considered lucky. You're open to them & can execute on them as they present themselves to you. Yes - there's a lot of cope when people want to reduce all the decisions & actions that got you to where you are, all down to luck. They're adopting a kind of victim mindset inferring that because you're lucky, they must be unlucky. I was lucky before I found Bitcoin. Bitcoin just turned everything up a whole level. I could see the real cost behind my actions & it provided a new lens through which to view the world. I'm not a genius or particularly hardworking. Everything just kind of fell into place & a whole range of options just opened up for me. Call it luck or divine intervention, I'm eternally grateful & optimistic about the future. LFG 🔥🫂

People love to say ‘you got lucky.’ But luck never repeats. Systems, habits, and proof-of-work do. What looks random is really the math of persistence📌 Epic again, Sir! 🫡🔥 NOSTR Series # 3 “You Got Lucky” 🍀
Luck is a shortcut word. What people don’t see are the failures, the grind, and the discipline repeated daily. A lucky moment is just the visible tip of a much larger proof-of-work iceberg!!! "SO, DON'T CALL ME LUCKY! I FAILED MORE TIMES THAN YOU FUCKING TRIED 💢" Thank You For Sharing, Sir @HODL 🫡 View quoted note →

It is useful & motivating to get advice from those much further down the bitcoin road like npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs It can also be difficult to relate when you are struggling to get your fingernails into bitcoin & you are hustling for every sat Lately I have been getting a lot out of npub1ycvsxes7qfrmv897k8uqqfrwvj5efv0f282lxzacrdlglm8c2qrqm7jjgr 's ‘The Road To One Bitcoin' It's partly a nostalgic indulgence of a time much earlier in your bitcoin journey, but there is also an honesty & authenticity that is refreshing & very motivating Bitcoin is a river of returns flowing past your feet ... don't think of the price, think of the returns ... the sooner you dive in the faster your will be carried down stream Meanwhile, it's very satisfying to root for npub1ycvsxes7qfrmv897k8uqqfrwvj5efv0f282lxzacrdlglm8c2qrqm7jjgr https://www.youtube.com/@TheRoadToOneBTC View quoted note →
"𝐋𝐮𝐜𝐤 is reactive! 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 is proactive!" A person who waits on luck may stumble forward once, but a person who sees clearly and persists shapes outcomes again and again. Vision creates direction, persistence gives it force. What looks like luck is usually just relentless alignment with purpose! Good Luck to y’all✨🍀 View quoted note →

"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 🐒⚡)

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.
