My Luck

By Yordano Bonilla

Does luck exist? I would say yes. Because, if it doesn't appear, we can create it.

This work narrates the real experiences lived by the author and that of third parties, highlighting the two main attitudes that we must develop in order to become successful people and to gain time from time.

Determination and courage!!!

Conformity cannot be an option in the life of human beings since we all have greatness to be who we really want to be. This is the premise of the story of Yordano Bonilla. Understanding that there is no joy in poverty and that conformity is perhaps the worst way to die and where to live without haste and in freedom is the aim of the author's meaning of life.

To the one who has given me everything, who is responsible for all the wonderful things in the universe, my blessed gratitude, happiness and honor to you, Jehovah, King of kings and Lord of lords, in whom I trust my whole life under your infinite mercy.

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

Not all of us have the privilege of growing up with the support of a father, much less can we consider being lucky enough to have 2 parents, such as: a rich father and a poor father. What we do have on an equal footing is a heavenly father, who gave us life to obtain everything.

Always live with hope...

Everyone who knows me knows how many times, consciously and unconsciously, I uttered these words: My lucky day will come soon; some may have thought that I was being a nonconformist, others already bored of hearing the same thing so many times and seeing that nothing extraordinary happened in my life, surely considered me delusional.

The true meaning of these words was based on the purpose of my existence: to be rich. Not in the abstract way of owning a lot of money, but in what I have today, in everything that I have achieved today. I am immensely rich because I have treasures that money itself cannot buy.

It is a luxury to live without haste, to be able to contemplate life, to be an example to follow for your loved ones, to have enough time to share unforgettable moments with the people you love, to realize how beautiful the world is and how immensely great the sky and the sea are, that there is nothing in nature that can impress you more.

It is a luxury to be able to see smiles around you, knowing that, if your time runs out, your memory will live forever for everything you have given and for all the happiness you have shared. There is no greater blessing than doing something for someone you know will never be able to pay you back, it is a luxury to live and serve. Simply put, everything I want for myself is what I also want for others.

I don't want much from life,

I just want to know that I tried everything I wanted,

I had everything that I could,

I loved what was worth it and I hardly missed

what was never mine.

Pablo Neruda

Your own criterion

S

urely it would be much easier to convince millions of people with your ideas and thoughts, if you already had a life full of success and victories. Surely many people could trust in your approaches, trying to follow your paths to reach the top, based on your achievements. This is quite logical if a pattern to follow is used in which a person expects a certain result.

Some other famous and widely recognized writers for their knowledge of investment, accounting, financial education or the art of multiplying money, have all the credit they deserve for explaining how we can manage our income, how to keep it and how money can be produced.

Their thesis, ideas and theories are truly exemplary when it comes to their application in people with some economic resource to leverage themselves, but will there be any difference between the possibilities of a poor person without sufficient economic resources and an educated person who follows principles supported by an economic base that sustains them to achieve success?

Is there a difference between the starting point, in the life of Robert Kiyosaky and the life of Yordano Bonilla, that can determine the chances of their successes?

Some may think that certainly those people who have a minimum advantage in life and who take advantage of opportunities, have a better chance of being successful; it’s simply a question, which could be true or false, depending on the type of person who asks this question. It will also depend on the determination and courage with which you want to reverse any situation, because even in the most unequal comparison that you can imagine, you will find people who challenge their destinies, who do not conform, despite the fact that all the conditions are given to fail, they refuse to lose.

There are incredible people worthy of admiration who don’t collapse due to physical, economic, spiritual or any kind of problems, who with everything against them, overcome obstacles, break impossible barriers for many, because these people simply take advantage of the most important thing we have in life, which is the time and clarity of mind to create it all.

So can a person with uneducated parents, a life below what is considered privileged, be successful, have everything they want, even become rich?

This book tells the answer to such questions through the author's experiences, and certain anecdotes where you will be able to perceive the 2 fundamental and innate characteristics that all human beings possess and that can transform the life of any person to achieve building all the dreams that they wish.

It is not about fables, or stories recreated in fantasies that leave a moral or motivating teaching to the reader. This book is based mainly on real events in the author's life and his environment, in order to bring these experiences to your life, to generate new ideas in your mind, offering you the opportunity for a change of thinking that will allow you to see things in life that you might not have been able to see before. By reading this book you will be able to live experiences in the lives of other people and find certain answers to your own questions that will make you a successful individual and it will be as if a light is shining in your inner being.

For those people who think that doing something wrong or making mistakes is wrong and who avoid situations that may be a risk by doing them, let me tell you that this is as natural as having to fall before starting to walk. It is part of the process; the wrong thing is to not persist and learn from mistakes and then improve.

For example: If a child stops trying to walk again out of fear of falling, and does not insist on getting up and trying, it would probably only delay the process of learning to walk. The same happens with the fear that invades many people and that often represses the most beautiful desires of each individual, distancing them from the knowledge that would probably allow them to advance.

Good or bad experiences in our lives provide important knowledge that strengthens us; something wonderful would be to be able to live many years in order to experience as many things as possible, to be able to learn from our mistakes, modify our character, study positive or negative results to give meaning to existence. Although it is certainly possible to live many years and experience situations that bring maturity, good sense, intelligence and wisdom, unfortunately there is a determining factor that does not wait, nor does it return the vigor and strength of a young person compared to an elderly person. It is time, perhaps one of the most important things that we must consider knowing how to use.

No matter how old you are, look at your past for a moment and try to remember your life for a few seconds, then answer the following question: why are you where you are now?

Only you will know the answer of how you have traced your path and surely you could guess that the same thing has happened to many people when sometimes we don’t even notice what day it is or what date it is. Time often takes us by surprise and just as when sleeping it seems like when we close our eyes, night becomes the morning of a new day in 5 minutes, this is how we look at our past, feeling that the years have just passed, that everything we experienced passed in just an instant.

Personally, I think it is worthwhile to analyze what we are doing with the time that has been given to us, and make the best of it, so as not to ask ourselves in surprise one day, what did I do with my time? Because although life is unique and I say this perhaps not very convinced, we must take advantage of it since, if we do it well, living once will be enough.

Reading a book can take a week, maybe two, maybe a month, or longer, depending on your reading and comprehension habits and skills. The average life of a person must be between 50 and 80 years, but there are those who do not reach these ages, and there are those who have the happiness of passing the age of a hundred. It is something very relative, but if we look at the average there are many years of experiences and knowledge accumulated in those lives, and since the exact same situations do not happen to all human beings in our lives, it is there that you are presented with the opportunity to buy time from time, something that is totally possible.

As a child, when I was in the 3rd grade of basic primary education, I remember that there was a classmate who was very intelligent and outstanding in the averages of all the subjects. One day I noticed that that boy left the line to enter our classroom and I saw him line up in front of the 5th graders' classroom.

What had happened was that this classmate who had excelled was selected to present some knowledge tests, which resulted in that he certainly had the necessary qualities and aptitudes to be promoted to two higher grades. This classmate with the same age as the rest of the children in my class managed to gain two years of time in his schooling, thanks to his brilliant intellect.

Maybe then he was able to take another leap that advanced him much more in his education, I think. I did not know exactly, but even so, 2 years represents a significant time if we think about what we could use that time for, if we had full availability, it would really be valuable.

In the same accelerated way that time advances, without taking pauses, technology and effective methods advance with the same speed today, so I consider it necessary to know how to handle all our available resources to save time from time, for example: In a locality there may be around 20 pharmacies. If it were the case that we have a sick family member who needs a medicine urgently, surely, we would not have time to lose, so that the medicine can be supplied to him, to help him improve his state of health.

A person could then go to 10 of the possible pharmacies to find the product, which would require a certain time in the transfer from one place to another until they get the medicine, or they could also make sure by phone which of the nearby pharmacies have the medicine they need in stock and go directly to just one place and gain time from time.

Depending on the severity of the health of our family member, how important are the hours, minutes or seconds in readiness to determine the life of this person? In the same way, hours, minutes or seconds, that you can use in your favor, will be decisive in your life.

Gain time from time! Reading this book will bring you closer to your purpose more quickly. If you want to become a winner, remember that winners always come first, if you want to transform your attitude in the face of difficulties to be successful, you are already taking an important step in an intelligent and simple way, since you won’t have to make certain mistakes personally to learn, but you will know about them to make the decisions that you believe are most convenient, and it will be your imagination when reading this book that will guide you to a change in paradigm, in the face of real life situations, offering you that advantage, in years of experiences of other people, which translate into gaining time and knowledge to achieve all the success that you want.

Who you are at this moment is not that important compared to who you want to be, what is really important is what you want to become. I really like an analogy that says: like an iron bar that has a certain monetary value, if it is converted into thousands of needles, its value will be a little higher, but if the same iron bar became a bank security lock, it would have a much higher value.

This is how relative human beings are, we are all made of the same thing at birth, what makes us differentiate ourselves and gives value to our lives is determined by what we can become.

Happiness has nothing to do with conformity or resignation and there is no difference for a person to get better benefits from life than you; start by believing that you can go beyond where you are since you have the power to do great things.

True happiness has a lot to do with your peace and freedom, which are impossible to separate, because no one can be happy or have peace without being free.

I invite you to do an exercise for a few minutes before continuing with the reading, take it very seriously. Think for a moment about the best day of your life, think for a moment and recreate in your mind, the happiest or luckiest day that has happened to you, it could have been the celebration of your birthday, the birth of a child, the day of your wedding, your graduation day, any special moment; that day you found the love of your life, think about that emotional event full of much happiness and joy.

Now try to remember, how did you
