create your luck

I get it. Sometimes that person who is slightly more qualified than you gets the job, or you get cut from the varsity team because a recent 5-star recruit comes in and takes your starting spot. What if I told you any person can be lucky? Many people believe that luck is an external uncontrollable force that happens to other people that gives them a headstart or advantage like the examples above.

However, people who are truly lucky know that everything that happens to them is the result of proactive action.

That person who perhaps was slightly more qualified than you on your resume, spent the last 5 months sending cold emails to company executives to create their luck. That athlete who took your spot spent the last decade honing his skills to be the best in that position.

At the end of the day, only you can create your own luck. You can choose to be lucky if you truly believe it and put in the work…
