You Make Your Own Luck
Luck is funny. Some people tell you, “If only some luck came my way.” Others say, “I don’t really believe in luck.” I come from the second perspective. I really don’t believe in luck. I do however believe that you can make your own luck through hard work – and by working with heart. Whenever an opportunity arises where you can make a great advancement in your life, that isn’t luck, it is you, being fully prepared from all that hard work that you’ve put in, it you through giving your all purposefully and responsibly.
If you aren’t prepared then you won’t be able to take advantage of the situation, which means it always depends on you and what you put into it, not the situation or luck. You are the one that steps through the door through your actions, luck never carries you anywhere. Is there an area in your life where you are hoping or waiting for a little luck to come your way? Don’t! Simply take a tangible step forward now to improve your life in that specific area and you will see far greater strides in a short time than you ever would waiting for luck to work its “magic.” Dr. Armand Hammer agrees with me when he was quoted saying: “When I work fourteen hours a day, seven days a week, I get lucky.”

I think you haven’t come across reality yet, or most probably you have the wrong definition of what luck is. I know many stories of people who did not get off their bum and found opportunities and made it big and they just can’t believe how it happened. Others were even “luckier” as they were born into prosperous surroundings and found most of the hard work ready and done for them by others. I myself have experienced many an opportunity and favorable situations without i had to work or prepare myself for them - they just happened to be there, or came my way. The opposite is true as well; i found negative situations which i never dreamt would have to happen but they did. Many people “work fourteen hours a day, seven days a week” and still do not make it even though on top of that they use positive thinking and mind work. It is not that simple my friend because other forces and variables are at work and we only have limited control. You may say that i am using my mind in a negative way when i analyze what happened in that way but I think that life gives us lessons all the time and to ignore these and live in an illusion is stupid. Our so called mistakes are lessons in life, when these are learnt others come until we are so much evolved that we see reality as it is and we are free.
