I'm trying to purge the word "lucky" from my daily vocabulary and insert the word "blessed." I truly feel blessed to be FIREd and have "enough." YMMV
Actually, I find myself leaning more and more towards acknowledging and embracing the luck factor in my life. I was lucky to be born in a first-world country to loving, caring parents who gave me tremendous opportunities, and I was lucky to have been born with the genetic makeup that allowed me to make the most (or at least, a lot) of those opportunities. Luck has played a huge role for me, as I think for almost everyone here in this forum. I supposed one could say "blessed", but to my ear that sounds like there is some higher force out there rewarding and favoring people for reasons beyond our understanding. In reality, I think it's simply luck of the draw... and I do feel very, very grateful for drawing a good hand.
