good Luck and bad luck are always tied together

There’s an old Eastern idea in Tao Te Ching that good and bad luck are always tied together. We see this all the time: a missed bus that feels like a bummer ends up introducing you to someone special, or a long-awaited win brings unexpected pressure.

Good and bad aren’t fixed; they shift and change all the time. When things don’t go your way, there’s no need to stress out—what looks like a setback today often opens the door to something better.
