Is it a lucky day?

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Whether you're Irish or not, you can't miss the sea of green all around us today. As I said on Facebook, today's a day it's actually cool to be green!

I came across this quote from Stephen Leacock today and couldn't help pondering it for a moment or two. Are you a believer in luck? Do you believe that finding a four-leaf clover brings good luck and walking under a ladder brings bad? I have to admit... I'm not a believer.

While I do see blessings come my way from time to time, I don't believe it has much to do with luck. Although sometimes I feel incredibly lucky when I look at my life and my career, but mostly my career blessings stem directly from the choices I've made. 

Mostly it all comes down to hard work... and being at the right place at the right time and meeting the right people.

Today, I encourage you to stop waiting for "luck" and start pursuing your dreams. May you find yourself in the right place at the right time with the right people!
