Years ago, when looking for land to build on in Queenstown, I thought it would be great to live on the lake. It was a later decision to buy land in the country.
If I hadn’t bought in the country it’s unlikely my daughters would have found what appears to be their absolute passion, riding ponies.
Meeting your twin soul, making a lifelong friend, picking a rewarding career path… all of these things have a huge component of luck.
Perhaps, being aware of the importance of luck, we can be better attuned to spot it and act upon it.
Because luck needs help.
If you keep saying ‘the bad guy won’ and judging everyone who supports them as an idiot, then you are playing right into the ‘good vs evil’ fallacy.
At the South Island Show Jumping Champs late last year, my daughters won the classes they were entered in.
A while ago we were at a horse show. Zara and I walked the course, and I read the jump off and told Zara what it was.
