Fate and Luck by By Ranbir Singh Dhatt
Fate and luck. Two of a plethora of driving factors for people to put their blind faith into, for them to believe in, a reassurance and a sense of belonging, that they live for some purpose, and that something is guiding them. That something is influencing their every decision, and that there is a reason behind everything. But do fate and luck play any really physical and conceivable role in the functioning of a human? In my opinion, that’s a solid yes.
Fate and luck provide an incentive to succeed. The way the human mind works is so confusing, that even after decades of research into it, we still don’t know why we can’t access the total potential of our cerebral capacity. We still don’t know why humanity has an everlasting and concrete belief in the supernatural, or why we became what we are today. But one thing we can know for sure is that belief in something is a sure way of reaching your own goals, of succeeding even in the face of adversity. Fate and luck provide that. The mere hope of belief, in the working of fate as an integral part of human functioning, and luck being something that actually exists, creates a fallacy of sorts, a false belief. But in this case, that false belief is leading to nothing but positive and real, substantial outcomes. Fate is the fact that everything you do is done for a reason, and all those reasons will ultimately lead to you reaching where you’re destined to be, as an enlightened individual and a good human being. Every being alive today strives for perfection, and fate provides a clear avenue to success and happiness. Completing milestones, you set for yourself, tasks you give yourself, is basically creating your own fate. You create your own destiny, and your happiness is guaranteed if you stick by what you believe in and put in maximum effort to accomplish those goals.
Luck plays a more minimal role, but still has a role regardless, in obtaining happiness for yourself. Luck breeds a positive attitude. By definition, being lucky means to always have good outcomes, regardless of the situation. I mean, who doesn’t want that, right? Imagine walking into a coffee shop everyday, always getting first in line, always getting discounts and vouchers for cheaper coffee. Luck doesn’t exist. But with a positive outlook on life with the belief of yourself being lucky, happiness is bound to be an emboldened emotion inside of you. Guess you got lucky there, huh?
