Life is 100% luck, beginning right from the moment of conception. This initial stroke of luck dictates crucial aspects such as your genetic makeup, geographical location, and socioeconomic status. Your genes, which are a product of this genetic lottery, determine not only your physical attributes but also your susceptibility to various health conditions, including mental health issues. If you are predisposed to mental health challenges, this biological luck places you at a significant disadvantage from the start, affecting your capacity to thrive in numerous aspects of life.
Furthermore, the location where you are born profoundly impacts your opportunities and quality of life. Being born in a region with ample resources and stable governance offers a starkly different set of prospects compared to being born in a war-torn or impoverished area. Similarly, the wealth of the family you are born into can open doors to education, healthcare, and social connections that are pivotal for personal development. Thus, these elements of luck—genes, location, and wealth—collectively shape the trajectory of your life, often in ways beyond your control, underscoring the pivotal role that luck plays from the very outset of our existence.
