If you have been successful in your online endeavors, do you attribute your success to luck, good fortune, hard work or a blessing from God?

success starts by doing what you love... being authentic and true to who and what your heart and soul wants you to be and do. if the world gets behind that or not is besides the point. at the end of the day, or at the end of a life, when Spirit asks "were you successful?" do you want your answer to be  "i made a lot of money" or "i tried to be kind, support goodness, spread joy love beauty and light, ease suffering, heal those in pain."

Blessing from God my friend.  We have so many cause He is so good.

Hello Eddie, The opportunity to have a successful business comes because of the doors God has opened for us.  We are blessed by God because of His unconditional love for us. Second, we are not lucky, we are loved. Third, because we work where God has planted us and do the best we can. God gives us the increase!

I'm in several lines of work:  I've written a couple books and I'm also an Energy practitioner.  Now in my senior years, I seem to be putting more energy into one area more than another.  So, to answer your question: I would say any success I've experienced has been because of all of the above:  luck, good fortune, hard work and a blessing from God.  I believe luck and good fortune has to do with God's blessings and hard work has to do with you.

All the above!

Examples:  I was raising money for missions and I had decided to keep in touch with a family that had moved out of the area, the Davises, out of my concern for them.  I continued to offer long-distance counseling, friendship and fellowship for several months and that seemed to really help my friend.

Well, when I began my fundraiser, I started contacting all my friends, family, colleagues, etc. and asked them to help out.  When I contacted my friend, Mr. Davis, ONLINE, he said he'd be glad to help and that he was going to give us a bit more than he had in past years.

Turns out Mr. & Mrs. Davis had decided to bless us with a $100,000.00 DONATION, the largest donation I had ever received for missions!  With that seed money, we planted our church in Manila, Phillippines, which is now over 200 members and growing!!!

So, it seemed to be a combination of all the above (luck & good fortune being understood as "time and chance", Ecclesiastes 9:11), but especially hard work and blessing from God.

Hope this helps!!!
