You can always find a way around an obstacle if you are determined enough. Never give up! You may need to change the way you view success…. Also no point to envy someone’s good luck. What looks like luck is often the result of a lot of hard work. The best thing is to learn as much as you can from successful people. What have they done which you can apply yourself?

A quick comment on Medium — I have joined relatively recently so may have missed the glory days of high views. Oh well… Notwithstanding, I feel effort is rewarded under the current algorithm so fully agree on your comment on consistency in writing. So many great points. I feel motivated — thank you!
