It resonates because we love to see it- when good things happen for good people, in part, because of their dedication to the process, it’s the ultimate promise that if you work hard and stay the course, you just might make it. That isn’t always the case for people, but when it does happen, it’s an inspiration and a reminder that we might have more control over our fate than we think we do, if we’re brave enough to reach for it.
