Would you like to improve your luck??
Luck has been defined as “preparedness meeting opportunity”. You may or may not have any impact on the opportunities that come your way, but you do have a great deal of control over your preparedness.
For example, imagine that your boss decides to move on and leave his position. You and 2 others report to him. If none of the 3 of you are prepared to take on his duties, the company will most likely look outside the organization for his replacement. But, if you’ve been consciously preparing for this opportunity, you will be the natural choice to move up. You may be lucky to have this situation present itself to you, but because you prepared yourself, you were able to take advantage of it. The other 2 candidates had the same opportunity, they just weren’t prepared, and as a result, they couldn’t take advantage of it.
I agree with the thoughts of Harv Eker when he states in his best selling book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” that it’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to be the RIGHT PERSON in the right place at the right time. You have to be prepared for the opportunities that present themselves.
That’s why it’s so important to constantly be learning and improving and growing. That’s why it’s also important to know what you want. Once you know where you want to go, you can focus your time and energy towards those activities that move you toward your goals. That way, when the opportunities come your way, you can take full advantage of them.
As you constantly improve your skill set, others will take notice. You will almost force opportunities to present themselves to you.
If you want to have success at the highest levels, resolve today that you will commit to continued learning and growing. Never stop educating yourself and adding to your skills. Force new opportunities into your life, and be prepared to take advantage of them when they come along. It is through this process that you dramatically improve your chances of being “lucky”.
Namaste.
