The Lottery Winner vs. The Cancer Survivor
If you had to choose a story for your life, which one sounds better?
- Win a huge lottery.
- Survive cancer.
On paper, it’s obvious. In reality, it’s not.
Many lottery winners say their lives fell apart after the money.
Broken relationships. Bad decisions. Emptier than before.
Many cancer survivors say something shocking:
“It was the best thing that ever happened to me.”
How can the “worst” thing become the best, and the “best” thing become a curse?
It’s because outcomes don’t shape us as much as meaning does.
1. Comfort will weaken.
Sudden luxury can dull discipline, gratitude, and perspective.
2. Pain will clarify.
A health scare can clean up priorities fast: who matters, what matters, and what doesn’t.
3. Circumstances are neutral.
Our stories about them decide whether we grow or decay.
4. Resilience is the real wealth.
Money, titles, labels feel powerful… until life hits you.
Then only your inner strengths count.
Most of us will never win a lottery or fight cancer.
But we will go through: a failed project, a breakup, a layoff, a bad year.
The real question is not “Why is this happening to me?”
It is, “What will this make of me?”
If you look back at your life today,
What “bad” event secretly became the best teacher you ever had?
