Summary

This quote suggests that fortune, similar to the market, can be unpredictable and ever-changing.

It implies that if one has patience and perseverance, the chances of obtaining fortune may increase by seizing opportunities that arise when conditions are more favorable. Hence, the quote emphasizes the importance of taking advantage of optimal circumstances and timing to maximize one's chances of attaining fortune.

It's really easy to get caught up in outward appearance or attributes that I have or talents that I have and focus my worth on those things. And none of those things really have anything to do with my identity. And my identity is a child of God. And I think it's important to remember that God has created each of us uniquely and it doesn't make sense to compare ourselves to other people because God has a different plan and a purpose for each person that he's made. And so we need to just remember that we are created perfectly to fulfill the plan that God has for our individual life.
