Luck
Luck is just another word for opportunity. Good luck is an opportunity that you are prepared for and bad luck is an opportunity that you are not.
For instance, if you feel lucky to have found the person you are dating/married to, you were probably prepared with the essentials to attract and maintain their interests. Conversely, if you feel like you got a unlucky break in your business, you were probably not prepared with the knowledge, resources and audacity to seize an opportunity.
Therefore, by my definition of luck as the intersection between preparedness and opportunity, you can create your own good luck (or bad luck for that matter). Rest assured, there are no shortage of opportunities. They come early and often for all of us. But if you want more good luck than bad luck than you should be prepared as often as possible for opportunities as they come.
How do you prepare for an opportunity that you don’t (and often can’t) expect? Simple. Know what you want. Know what it takes to be it or have it. Then do that thing with full confidence that the opportunity will come (as I said, they always do). We only need to remember, as Henry David Thoreau said, “If you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, and endeavor to live the life which you have imagined, you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
Good Luck!
