LUCK
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.*”
Dear Hadley.
Feel lucky in life.
But do not attribute the good things in your life to luck.
Earn stuff.
Make stuff.
Work for stuff.
And by stuff I mean actual things and experiences and relationships.
Luck is the color of your eyes, your last name, the place you were born.
It is not the life you choose to live.
It is not the life you design for yourself.
Believe in the universe.
And serendipity.
And magic.
But never at the expense of cause and effect.
I’m lucky to know and love you,
Aunt Liz
