Luck be a Lady Tonight...

I guess everyone is buying the lottery tickets tonight because of the 7-7-7, you know, July 7, 2007. Actually, it's July 8, as it is after midnight that I am writing this. Do you think that luck comes to you, or that you make your own luck? I think it's a little bit of both; however, I try to rely on my own luck to make things happen. I find that motivation, and the desire to keep challenging myself will always open more doors than sitting around and hoping that luck - or shall I say opportunities to present themselves. It's kind of scary though too, trying to succeed, exposing yourself in a way to the world and hoping the "world" will think of you as a "success story".

The most meaningful developments
in my work are those that occurred involuntarily
and blindly, without knowing what I was
going to do, when I had enough faith in my own
creative process to be willing to wait for
it to happen without my will demanding it.
