Luck and risk

 When emphasized it is said that luck and risk are both sides of the same coin. One exits hand in hand with another. As people we experience life differently cause the hands that life throws at us are different and we process situations differently. An individual can experience one in million outcome of a risk or luck. With this I understand that yes a person's hard work, consistency, showing up and putting in the work can help an individual achieve what she/he set out for herself, at the same time I am aware that luck and risk play a role in this. When dealing with luck/risk it's easy to say in my head this didn't work cause it's just wasn't my day , and then go off listing the errors I think I made. Upon experiencing this I realised that some situations can't be explained, no matter how much errors I think I made or the conclusions that make sense in my head , and going down this rabbit hole I was filled with regret, ego, pride and shame cause my brain couldn't just digest/understand this situation. It's easy for a brain to understand something when the is no nuance, but hard to when the is a Nuance. When something that is one in million happens that is good it's easy/simpler for a brain to understand, to point where the reasons that you make in your head for yourself make sense(luck). It's different when you are on the receiving  end of a short stick , in other words experiencing a one in million situation that is bad causing the brain not to comprehend/understand the situation that has occurred due to it being a Nuance (risk). As much as luck is simpler to understand and to be at content with . With risk also an individual has to forgive him/herself and give herself/himself enough room to understand/be content with the situation, Hence the is a saying "it's not as good or as bad as you think "...
