Both.

A lot of successful people, especially artists, admit that luck plays a major factor in determining their success.

Not to diminish their skills or effort but a lot of people put in the work and skill but aren't always as successful.

 

Not that that should put anyone off trying to be successful especially as success is defined differently.

Hard work for sure. Discipline plays the biggest role in being successful. Without it, you won't go anywhere. You have to keep improving your skills by practicing constantly, spending many hours, doing it daily and never stopping no matter what. 

I love hearing peoples opinions on this subject, its been on many of my social media feeds and its so interesting seeing the different views. A lot of people get off put when people say luck- like it diminishes their chances of achieving what they want to do. 

 

Not going to lie, I felt this way the first time someone told me success is luck while I was in highschool. Being a young artist. 

But now, I do see how luck can be a big factor on how you receive your opportunities 

 

Its really interesting to read about.
