Throw a Little Luck into the World

I know it goes against everything Americans are told, but success is not a result of hard work. If it were that simple, every fast food worker in America would be a millionaire because, y'all, that ish is HARD. I worked at Arby's in high school for like 10 minutes because it was awful, terrible, and waaaaay harder than what I get paid far more $$$$ to do now.

Success is the result of hard work AND luck. That luck thing plays a part way more than anyone wants to admit. But, if I look back on my path from the trailer park to the board room, there are most definitely several doors that opened because of luck. The right place at the right time, a productive conversation with someone with pull, or even random kindness from a stranger can go a long way in connecting one dot to another and filling out the picture of success.

THAT is why Christmas Crazy matters. Center for Victims helps people who are doing the hard work, but need a little luck. Sometimes the world hands people a cactus, but they don't have to sit on it. These are people who are trying to throw that cactus into their past. Let's throw some kindness in front of them.
