As for the love and light guys, it's simple - fortunate souls are also fortunate with spiritual growth. Most wise people got where they got because they were born fortunate enough to become wise. Therefore, they speak from the perspective of fortunate people as well, not just wise people. In their case, they were fortunate enough to be able to convert their pain to wisdom. Those who fail die in obscurity and never become gurus.
