I’m confused at what you were going for on this one.
I called it a tragic event. Bad things happen in life. You don’t have as much control as you think. 9-11 ruined many innocent people’s lives, it destroyed our industry. When tragedy happens you can wallow in self pity or you can pick your self up and find a way. I was fortunate, I didn’t lose a loved one. I only had my career destroyed. 9-11 happened, I had no say in it. It was tragic, I was lucky and I didn’t quit. I didn’t rely on this career to give me anything and yet it still has given me a lot. I went out, fought hard and found success. 9-11 drastically changed my life, I chose not to let those monsters destroy my life. I am most certainly lucky, yes fortunate.
My words as I read them now are poor. What I meant was not. I was not lucky 9-11 happened, I was lucky this event didn’t destroy my life, as it did for so many other people. I was lucky, I let this tragic event change my direction, who I was as a person and what I wanted from this life.
9-11’s impact on my life was unequivocally profound, it absolutely reshaped it. I am absolutely lucky it did.
