The truth of the matter is we owe more than we realize to luck. For example, to be born into a good family, to have the good looks and keen mind.
And what about the luck to score a compatible spouse? Considering how different and crazy people are, what are the chances of this? Amazing luck to have a partner who will love us and take care of us when the times get tough. And the greatest of lucky fortunes, in my opinion, is to see our children grow into a fine young adults. I still can't wrap my mind around this. So basically my ego isn't large enough to give myself credit for my successes. I'm just one hell of a lucky - and thankful - person.
