If You’re Lucky...

If you’re lucky, you’ll find yourself alone. Completely alone, when no one is around, and you’ll have to find support in the ground and in yourself. This is a moment of truth when the world stops giving hints, and all that remains is your inner strength. In silence and solitude, the deepest realizations are born. They are like lightning tearing through the darkness, illuminating the path ahead, but only if you’re ready to accept them.

If you’re lucky, you’ll find yourself alone. Completely alone, when no one is around, and you’ll have to find support in the ground and in yourself. This is a moment of truth when the world stops giving hints, and all that remains is your inner strength. In silence and solitude, the deepest realizations are born. They are like lightning tearing through the darkness, illuminating the path ahead, but only if you’re ready to accept them.

If you’re lucky and it happens at the right time, life will hit you to crack you open like a nut and reach the core. The purpose of these blows is not punishment but transformation. They carve away all that is superficial, leaving only the essence. It is then that true character is revealed, who you truly are. The pain you feel is a process of liberation, giving birth to a new you.

If you’re lucky, you will cry. These tears are not a sign of weakness but purification. They wash away layers of pain, hurt, and disappointments, leaving you with a clean heart and a new perspective. Through tears comes liberation, and with it, true life. Just as rain nourishes the earth, tears provide the soil for a fresh start.

If you’re lucky, you will be vulnerable in front of others. And you won’t be able to hide it. Vulnerability is a test of authenticity. Only by opening up can you understand who is truly with you and who is merely pretending to care. This experience teaches you to value genuine connections and let go of illusions.

If you’re lucky, you won’t know the answers to questions. In such moments, opportunities for growth are revealed. Not knowing what to do next, you learn to listen to your inner voice and find your own solutions. This shapes you as a person independent of others' opinions.

If you’re lucky, you will be disappointed in people, ideas, teachers, and benevolent wizards. And by going through this, you will be able to see the real world. Disappointment is the dismantling of illusions but also the birth of a mature perception of life. Without it, you cannot see things as they are.

If you’re lucky and it’s the right time, there will be no one to ask for advice. Absolutely no one. This is a moment when life pushes you to become your own mentor. It is not only a test of independence but also an opportunity to discover your inner compass, which will guide you even in the darkest moments.

If you’re lucky and it’s the right time, it will be unbearable, so much so that you’ll have to do something about it or just relax and let the world do something with you. This tests your flexibility and adaptability. Sometimes the strongest action is to accept and trust life, which leads you to something greater.

If you’re lucky, you will lose, be deceived, betrayed, and almost crushed. And that “almost” will be imprinted on your face with the wrinkles of wisdom. These trials form your resilience and depth, and the experience stays with you for life as an invaluable gift, turning you into a person who can truly understand others.

If you’re lucky, you will have no money left. And you will have to enter into real relationships with people you could previously just pay. In such conditions, money loses its power, and you begin to understand the true value of human connections and support.

If you’re lucky, you will have a lot of money, and you will experience the depth of despair when the illusion that happiness is in them fades away. Wealth presents its own trials. It makes you seek true values and understand that money is merely a tool, not a source of happiness.

If you’re lucky, not everyone will love you. And you will need to adjust your internal value system. The desire to please everyone will release your throat. This is liberation from dependence on others' opinions, when you start living by your own principles and values.

If you’re lucky, someone close to you will turn away from you. And you will learn the value of moments of happiness. Losing a loved one teaches you to cherish every moment and realize that true happiness is not in quantity but in the quality of these moments.

If you’re lucky, you will face your loved ones face to face. And there will be two truths. Theirs and yours. And you will feel the ringing space between separate universes that barely touch. This is a confrontation of worldviews, which teaches tolerance and understanding, expanding your view of the world.

If you’re lucky, you will endure all of this. And find a way to transform yourself. You will experience that inner alchemy that turns pain into beauty, anger into acceptance, fear into achievement. It is the path to true wisdom, where you turn your scars into doors to new beginnings. Guilt and shame are cleaned from the soul, and inner transformation makes you truly alive and whole.

If you’re lucky and it’s the right time, these trials will become your teachers, and you will be your own hero.
