Hard work and effort are the main aspects that lead to “lucky” things happening.

Also, I have learned that when you truly respect those around, they will respect you back and life is much easier when you aren’t doing things behind each other’s backs.…

    Thriving Through Adversity Growing up, as the oldest of three girls, I soon developed a sense of entitlement that, in the years to come, I would find did not suit me well. Fortified by the nurturing nature of my mother, I, being the strong willed, independent, and self righteous child I was, found that the ebb and flow needed in aiding the fresh wounds left by the separation of my parents was far less attainable than the easily reachable strategy, that I oftentimes fell back on, known as distancing myself from all that made me feel vulnerable.

These stories get less attention because they don’t fit our view of how we WANT the world to be, and our nature is not to share our personally humiliating, humbling and failure moments. But I am going to share with you mine. It started about a year and a half ago when I was frustrated with my current job, not feeling like I was receiving the professional considerations I deserve, coupled with a lack of opportunity for growth, like any of us would, I went out and started searching for a new career.…
