Luck HELP a lady tonight? I'm kind of blessed

Good Morning/Afternoon-ish

I was first reluctant to write this post because it's a little solipsistic, but then i realized "Oh hey... it's my blog"(this phrase doesn't help my case :P) . Throughout my life I have been very blessed by the gods/the powers that be. Ever since I was little I've been able to acquire whatever I yearned for. Does that mean I'm spoiled? Spoiled like the "Sweet 16" girls on VH1 who expect daddy to pay for everything her little heart desires and not care about how that will effect others? In that sense no!
My parents are hard workers, they work their asses off to support our life style and I understood that from a very young age. We immigrated over to the USA from Vietnam when I was 2 and the clips of memories I still retain from that time, the life style of that time doesn't even compare to what I have now. We were poor, like welfare poor, but my parents were/are very strong people and through their will and perseverance I am able to live my life now. They don't know it but their efforts played a huge role in me going into the arts. If we still lived in those conditions I would probably be pursuing a career that has a greater assurance of being successful and wealthy i.e. a doctor or a lawyer.

Here's what I've noticed and experienced in my life, you read and come to your own conclusions as to whether I am blessed or just lucky (yes there's a difference).

Middle School- applied on a whim, got accepted into a lottery
High School- sang for the first time on a whim and got accepted into program
Shows, productions/recitals- most of which I credit to the fact that I was there at the right time and I had the abilities to do the job.
Job- got asked if I would like to stay on a whim without going through any application process or interviews.
Finding lost things or things I need without really looking or receiving things that others do twice the work and not get. I know it seems unfair sometimes but I would be a fool not accept it and be greatfull!

Maybe it's a karma thing? I admit I would call myself a good person. I help those who need it, I do stuff for people without asking anything in return. I know I have given myself selflessly and asked for rarely nothing. NOT SAYING THAT I'M A SAINT.

So here's my question... do you think I'm lucky/blessed or just cray-cray?
