The Delilah Rene Luke Story
We’ve all heard the expression that “some people have all the luck.” It’s also been said you have to make your own luck. Still, other people don’t believe in luck at all!
It was baseball legend Casey Stengel who hit the ball over the wall, when he said, “Luck is the residue of design!” And what a thought provoking statement that was! It has been proven time and again among people who consistently put forth effort in their lives, that extra perks, extra benefits, and occasional windfalls seem to come their way.
People who not only work hard, but who work smart will tell you that good things rarely just happen, and that you have to carefully prepare yourself to be eligible for the luck—the residue of design—that will surely then begin to come your way!
If you truly want to be counted among the “lucky” of the world, you’ve got to first cultivate the ground in which your “four leaf clovers” can grow!
