I think you are right on point with lucky people are not necessarily lucky but more adaptive, see opportunities others can't or are willing to push ourselves in areas others don't. Many consider me lucky when in fact I came from nothing and took myself up to where I am by looking for unlikely opportunities and seizing the day. Anybody who persevere on steemit will do well in the future, even if it's slow earnings...slow but steady. I will leave mine in the platform until it's too the moon...all or nothing!!
