How wisdom and skill position us for good luck (Don't wait for lightning to strike‪)‬ Today with Purpose

    • Self-Improvement

I used the word luck for the first time when I was an inquisitive eight-year-old boy. It had a mysterious and powerful ring to it. I needed a word to capture the idea that things happened by chance. It helped me think about the the apparent meaninglessness of some of my early childhood experiences. Despite my excitement about it, the word was not well-received. Someone, I think one of my parents, said I must never say the word again. Luck is not as dangerous as I learned as a child, but we need a clear understanding to keep our thinking healthy.
