the lottery

We're all in the life lottery.

And the jackpot, luck.

Looks, family, friends, love, intelligence, career, fate.

More than six billion versions of life have been pre-written. No one knows for sure who wrote them; a higher force perhaps.

Each time a child is conceived, they are assigned a particular life. There's no favouritism in this or any sort of advantage that one would have over another. It doesn't matter who your connections are or how wealthy you are, it doesn’t change the way your destiny wants to plan out. It's all down to chance. The odds. How lucky you are. The shattering thing is, even though your destiny is yours, if you don’t like it, you can’t change it.

But even for the worst of lives, that change will come. It’s in one of the upcoming chapters of your life book. And you can only wait for that change to head your way. There’s no way it will come faster, or come in a different fashion. Every opportunity that arrives on your door step is written especially for you. Every prospect calls for you to gravitate towards it. No matter how big or small the change is, it’s there because destiny wants a better life for you.

So don’t fret about trying to shift fate. Go along with whatever life presents. That's when the life lottery becomes the luck lottery.

And the jackpot, life.
