HOW TO GET LUCKIER

HOW TO GET LUCKIER

'THE HARDER I WORK, THE LUCKIER I GET' (incorrectly attributed to Thomas Jefferson).

Even winning the lottery requires work too. You have to buy that ticket, even though your chances are extremely low. Luck isn't real and mostly a myth. But if you work harder, you're in a better position, when the opportunity arrives. Better things come your way, if you complete more milestones, making you lucky. The harder you work, the less dependent you become on luck.

Remember, you always reap, what you have sown. Getting lucky or unlucky in life, is unlikely to come out of the blue. Whatever is meant to be, plays a big role. You may have been born luckier than some and unluckier than others. But it is up to you to make the best of the hand you have been dealt. It's all about, how you play your hand. If your hand is great, so be it. If your hand is unfortunate, so be it also. No matter how unfair you think your hand is, you have no option to give your hand back. Whatever hand you're dealt, you must play. But in life, you'll be able to pick new cards. Those new cards may even replace your original hand. That's why some people succeed against the odds.

There are plenty of opportunities coming your way. Don't hesitate to grab them. Nothing is more expensive, than a missed opportunity. There is opportunity in any difficulty. Hold on tight and don't let it go. Persistence is all that counts. That's 'par for the course', if you really believe in something. Are you already playing to win?
