Luck Is Earned, Not Given #

Success often comes with a dose of luck—being in the right place, at the right time, with the right offering. The stars align, and a breakthrough occurs.

Contrary to common belief, luck is something you create, not something that just happens to you.

Two thousand years ago, Seneca the Younger remarked, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” Both parts are your responsibility: you prepare and are ready to act when opportunity arises. You put in the work to be ready for the moment. If you aren’t, the moment will pass you by. You also create the moment by putting yourself out there, entering the arena, and not leaving until Fortuna shows herself.

Luck is work. Nothing else.
