The Fortune of Effort

Blind luck, so they say

Fate’s roulette wheel spins.

Success by pure chance.

No reason behind what the universe ordains.

But looking closer

Luck favors action’s motion.

Planting seeds far and wide.

Fortune follows focused devotion.

Luck rewards awareness

Pattern hunting for openings.

Connecting life’s dots.

Doors crack open for those seeking.

Luck blooms from nurtured uniqueness

Talents channeled and grown.

Strengths honed diligently.

Destiny claimed by making our gifts known.

Yes, luck has many roots.

But through moving, observing, expressing our best,

We gain traction and craft “chance” -

Fortune favours effort invested.

So seek and ye will find

Sow broadly, tend your own field.

Luck is no cosmic coincidence.

It is the harvest of efforts revealed.
