I believe that when something goes wrong, we get two opportunities:
-- The first is to learn how not to do it!
-- The second is to learn another way of doing, not to repeat the mistake.
Most of the time, things go wrong on our own, we do not anticipate and do not evaluate the possible results.
Inaccuracy and delusions, quite conflicting to what we think, exist to lead us to a path of accomplishment. No matter what we are, what we do, will always give us other opportunities, we just have to see them and take advantage of them!
Generally, we are habituated to see the facts of the day to day of a phony way, that is, of an apparent way, considering that the events appear outside.
When something wicked transpires, most of the time, we contemplate it a bad luck, otherwise if something good appears, we categorize it as luck.
Our view of life and way of understanding it is very limited so we cannot judge with assertiveness whether or not what happens is beneficial, for we are not able to affirm what the real meaning of what happens.
Almost always, we do not see the actuality and we lose opportunities because many benedictions arrive at us camouflaged with provocations, as well as numerous hardships, are masked in joy.
We are subject to the laws that govern our destinations. Our dramas, our choices, our fortunes, our misfortunes, and their consequences, are governed by the law of Cause and Effect, happy or not, immediate or late, the results are assured by the exercise of free will.
What we call luck is nothing more than the result of our effort. In the same way, the chance is the consequence of our extravagance, our profligacy and our solecisms. The right and wrong will reflect luck and chance in the future.
So we reap what we sow! There is no chance!
What we call luck or benefit without apparent effort is life offering an opportunity for transformation and evolution. Being a concession, if it is well spent, with the mellowing and attentiveness that we have benefited, there must be retribution, serving others who may need our help.
What we consider to be bad luck can be a trial, so that we can make an inquiry of our values and a stimulus to the exercise of our virtues. If transformed into an evolutionary impulse, it is even more difficult to be accepted, due to our level of understanding.
A divine being does not attach the reputation to luck or chance, since he knows that everything is the result of sowing and that he receives from life what is beneficial and necessary for his evolution.
With the emerging of cognizance, it is perceived that the so-called "luck" is conquered by work, patience, perseverance and discipline, since any other form of conquest is an illusion and detrimental to evolution. Legitimate riches are the fruits of learning and of honest work, if not, it is the only illusion, ignorance of the laws of action and reaction and escape of responsibilities before life.
In this way, luck and bad luck cease to have any meaning, because they are apparent realities and what provides them is much deeper and more complex.
Luck can be an instrument of downfall and future sufferings, and in turn, chance can be a faster instrument of evolution.
All of us, along with the evolutionary journey, have already had our quotas of "luck" and "chance", some more and others less, sometimes greater and sometimes less, in any aspect of life, and we must engage in learning, work, self-transformation and inner renewal.
Life is like a rosebush, the flowers are beautiful, but it also has thorns!
