Ever get the feeling a helping hand is working behind the scenes for you?

Like, the universe gives you a nudge, right when you need it? 😉

I look at my 35 years in tech and see:

👉 Blank screens and big ideas

👉 Missed calls, unanswered emails

👉 Long nights, big dreams, and an extra pot of coffee (OK, maybe two)

Was it all skill? Maybe.

Was it luck? Sure, sometimes.

But I have to wonder if there’s something bigger at play with success….

Call it karma, the universe, or a small army of guardian angels up there looking out for me 😇

Because every time I stumbled,

I found the right person who lifted me up 🏋️

An opportunity showed up, right in the nick of time ⏰

A door opened, sometimes when I needed it most but never expected🚪

But here’s what I’ve learned:

• Skill gets you ready for the moment

• Hard work keeps you steady

• Something special (up above?) brings the right people into your orbit

Makes me think-

Maybe we don’t get here alone.

Maybe our stubborn effort sends a signal.

And the universe answers back-

“Keep showing up, I’ve got your back.”

Fast forward to today:

🔹I try to help where I can

🔹 I pay it forward (karma, right?)

🔹 I watch for those little signs that I’m not in this alone

Every win?

A little skill, a lot of sweat, and a sprinkle of something you can’t quite explain.

Do you see moments of karma, luck, or heavenly help in your story?

Or do you believe we shape our own paths, start to finish?
