We often think luck is reserved for the “lucky few” who happened to be at the right place at the right time, (like Dustin Moskovitz & Eduardo Saverin who were the 2 friends Mark Zuckerberg invited to his dorm room to start Facebook and are now worth 6.5 and 3.4 Billion respectively) or the unlucky (like the other 3 who were invited but failed to show up!)

And yet even in that example we can see luck had very little to do with it! Dustin and Eduardo had to SHOW UP! They had to take action. They had to DO SOMETHING!

So what if we could mix our “taking action and doing something” and sprinkle a little luck on it this month?

I had absolutely no clue as to what I would do next nor did I actually plan on retiring. I just knew that there was something else that was out there for me and I had to take a “leap of faith”.  By making this decision, I allowed myself for those few days soon after being downsized to reflect.  During those moments of reflection, I admitted to myself that I really had not been happy at work for a few years.  My plan was to “hang in there” for another 7 years until I officially retired.  I soon began to realize that the “hang in there” plan” was not a plan.  It only meant limiting my life by not allowing me to dream about other achievements and adventures that were out there waiting for me to discover. I asked myself, “If not now, then when”?
