March // LUCK

  • WORKOUT // Groundbreakers
  • BOOK // The Greatest Beer Run Ever: a Memoir of Friendship, Loyalty, and War by John "Chick" Donohue & J. T. Molloy 

"There are numerous superstitions surrounding the horseshoe and luck. Superstition is a finicky thing. We create our superstitions in an attempt to control what is seemingly uncontrollable. I read long ago that “a pound of pluck is worth a ton of luck”. In other words, it's our hard work that creates this mysterious force we call luck. Misfortune happens and death is going to catch us all. In the meantime, make your own luck!"
