No matter how talented and successful we may be, it's important to recognize factors beyond our control that shape our fortune.
No one achieves anything significant on their own.
Take a moment to count your blessings.
Steer clear of people who divert you from your calling.
Be thankful for good luck and people who enable you to do your best work. ✨
