Lucky in life
Some people appear to be lucky in life as in successful and never seem to struggle, sailing through life with not much to worry about and some quite the opposite where bad luck seems to follow them around.My husband and I have worked hard all our lives and still have some years left before we retire but life has always seemed hard and we've had to struggle just to make ends meet as there never seems to be much left at the end of the month after paying the bills. Obviously I know many, many people are just like us.
I have tried starting my own business a number of times and none of them were ever successful, I worked hard at making them work but they never took off
I heard someone once say that "we make our own luck in life"
Do you think that is true or do you think some people are just lucky or unlucky.
Look forward to responses x

I am also a believer in, it’s better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all.
Today, ln M&S, l passed a youngish girl being pushed in a wheelchair by a carer. The girl just grinned and l think that was all she would ever be able to do in her life.
At that moment, it put my selfish life into perspective and l realised, my life wasn’t so bad at all....

Life is not about being dealt a good hand of cards...
It's about making the best out of the hand you've already been dealt...
