Lookin’ Lucky

Some people look lucky. They have it going on and you're close enough to them to know it’s real. You’ve watched them ascend. You’ve seen them receive the awards. Earn the money and perhaps get the girl. It looks like a fairy tale… they make it look easy. 

It’s easy to resent the luck but it’s not as easy to respect the work. The work of daily ritual, the work of resilience. The work of discipline. 

Parting Thought: People are celebrated in public for what they do in private.
