I am an apostle of choice-driven life, I truly believe that one's own decisions shape their future and influence their life course, HOWEVER ...

If we really abide by a rigorous system of action and reaction, then doing the same things will always lead to same results.

99.99% of the time, this is true. But, when it doesn't work, we start asking questions, mainly like "What did I do wrong?", "How can I fix it?", "What if ...?"

A flash back takes me now directly to the commencement speech Steve Job delivered in Stanford in 2005 ... "Connecting the Dots" he said ... I surely needed some more time to understand what he meant.

It all starts making sense when a series of "Oh My God" events start shouting in my face saying

What you consider to be a failure is a Protection Plan

Call it Luck ... I have something else in my mind!

Thanks for openly sharing your introspection. I define LUCK as "Labour Under Correct Knowledge" then everything will fall on place and in order. If the processes adopted is right then the end result will be right. Certain times when you focus only on end results due to time constrains; then Processes not followed. All the best for your reflections.
