In this episode of Michal Yardney Podcast, I share Warren Buffett's Ovarian Lottery theory, which highlights how luck plays a role in shaping our circumstances and opportunities. 
In general when we talk about success, we focus on hard work, talent, and determination, but Warren Buffett points out that luck plays an equally important role.
The circumstances of one's birth can significantly affect life outcomes, and the gap between the wealthy and the poor is widening.
Those born into wealth are more likely to continue accumulating it, while those without such support face greater challenges in building their own financial security.
While the world is getting richer overall, the gap between the wealthiest and poorest is widening, and this is reflected in the housing market and the broader economy.
The ovarian lottery has a lasting impact on society.
By acknowledging its role, we can work towards a future where success is determined not by the circumstances of our birth, but by our efforts, talents, and the opportunities we create for ourselves and others.
I also discuss the concept of 'big rocks' in life, emphasising how vital it is to prioritise significant goals and tasks.
I stress the importance of gratitude and social responsibility, encouraging myself and others to reflect on our advantages and the significance of helping those in need.
