If ya want it to happen, ya gotta make it happen! That is the only way you can look at any situation in life. If you wait around hoping for someone else or some form of providence to come sailing along and rescue you from the procrastination doldrums, you’ll likely be long in the tooth and showing more gray than natural in your hair before that fairy tale outcome finally transpires, if it ever does. More likely, you will wind up well short of your goal(s) at the end of the day and consequently blame “bad luck” for all of your character shortcomings. Luck, my ass!! Luck had nothing to do with it! You were handed stewardship over the key to the convertible, but that catalyst never found its way into the ignition slot. Fact is, the lamentable thing never even came out of your trousers pocket. You cannot blame “bad luck” for that, you feckless jackfuck!!!
