You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk? - Clint Eastwood

Lucky is that chance encounter that changes your life.

It is precariously easy to plan for the day in order to minimize the obstacles in life. Nobody likes setting themselves up for the nastiness and potential disappointments that can come our way.

But I wonder ... where might I have ended up if I just hid and sulked? Instead, I got lucky.
