Blind luck

If so,
  why do I never win?

I guess it is part of my destiny.

Honestly,
  I have quite a record.

One not to be measured by monetary gain.

I stumble into creativity.

Musicians,
  poets,
    chefs,
       actors.

We tend to meet,
  and usually with a wide opened eye.
     Happily playing,
       seeing what comes next.

Just luck.

Some are meant to be lucky.

Indeed. Measure not your luck in monetary and materialistic. An admirable quality in humans.

Physical wealth can be taken away at a whimsy. This we can call our own. Glad you liked this one.

i feel lucky in words....certainly not monetary gain...

a poor poet...but with enough words to survive on.

i like this piece.

We are rich in ideas, transferred into words. I can live with that! Thank you, sir!

You are a lucky man indeed, to have that wide opened eye of appreciation for those creative people in your life, you can't buy that...

Sometimes you just recognize a kindred soul. One of my musician friends told me, "I think you will write something that will change somebody's life, and maybe you already have." I don't know if I have, but I will keep writing, and improve the chance!

I don't think we ever know how many people we have affected with our words, I know I've been on so many, many occasions, and it's stayed with me....

Words or actions, you never truly see the results. Those are held by others.
