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.”
