Make your own Luck5/30/2018 I did not move out of my hometown Airdrie based on luck. I was not handed a perfectly made plan with directions on how to live my life and I was not handed the rewards I reaped. My plans were never perfect, my money I had earned all on my own was very limited and the sacrifices I made sometimes cost more than the benefit was worth. Whenever I travel home I constantly get told how lucky I am. I'm bombarded with questions on how amazing my life is now or how I do it. I guess my not so wise words of advice for you is that you get what you give. This may be the Vegas in me but you don't go to a casino with $5 and walk out with a jack pot. At least not usually. I dedicated so much of my life to getting myself out of places I wasn't happy in. I worked hard and I took opportunities as they came. Moving to Vegas has been a great experience for me and I love where I am but it didn't come without sacrifice. I left all my friends and family behind, I had a very lacking "Highschool experience" and I worked as much as I could and saved just about everything. It was barely enough. When I moved here I was jobless for 2 months. I knew no one except for my one friend from NYC and her family. I didn't drive, had no healthcare and I had no clue what I was doing. I threw myself into a life I didn't understand and it was one of the hardest things I've done. It was emotionally and physically exhausting and for months it felt like an up hill battle. I regret none of it. It has been hard but I wanted to leave the place I once called home and I made it happen. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself and I encourage absolutely everyone to at least do it once. I guess my point here is, is that if you want something don't focus on luck. Luck will not get you far. Hold yourself accountable and find out what you need to do to get what you want. Don't make excuses because you have the power to change the situations you are in. Work hard and prepare yourself for the hard stuff because things rarely go as planned and shit happens. As soon as you have all your ducks in a row something happens and you're left with a mess and back at ground zero. Create your own luck. Create a life you can love and enjoy and go after what you want. This your life and you are in control of it.
