The reason behind this topic comes from watching the Ironman Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii. This race is the world's most physically taxing race. It starts with a 2.5 mile swim through wind gusts and ripping waves, followed by a taxing 112 mile bike ride. The crowning gem to the race is the 26.2 mile marathon to finish off the race, where many fail, and some succeed.
Sure, it takes a lot of physical preparation for the race, but no matter how determined you are, sometimes luck runs out, and things happen. A racer could get a flat tire, a cramp in an arm while swimming, a random case of shin splints. A minor stroke of bad luck can sideline a racer. Then there is the determination side of it. If you want to do it, maybe you will get lucky enough to break the pane of the finish line into a gratifying finish.
This is the rub. No matter how hard you work all of your life, maybe you will not become a millionaire, but maybe if you work your fingers to the bone, a spark is ignited, and an idea is born. Then your nurture the idea into a business, and call it a success. Maybe it wasn't worth millions, but maybe you have a good life, and something to give to your kids, that is personally worth millions.
At what point do we call it a stroke of good luck, or when do we begin to call it hard work and dedication?
As a big runner, and fan of alternative sports like triathlons, fun runs, and most extreme sports, I think it is a big personal gain to set a goal for yourself like a couch to 5k, get involved in local sports, or just join a gym. The experiences people will share, and the opportunities that are laid out in front of you can be the just the change you are looking for.
