Many people believe that the secret to success is hard work, determination and being a “go-getter.” While all of these things are important, they are not the only things that will make you successful.
The truth is that there is another, much less sexy, secret to success that most people don’t know about. It’s called “luck.” Luck is something that you cannot control, but you can use it to your advantage. The key to using luck in your favor is to understand how it works and how to harness its power.
Luck can play a big role in your life in a number of ways. For example, if you’re lucky enough to get a job that you love, you’ll be more productive and happier in that job than if you had a job that you didn’t like. Similarly, if you’re unlucky enough to get sick or lose your job, luck can help you by giving you the opportunity to start over and find another job.
Luck also plays a role in our personal relationships. Suppose your girlfriend breaks up with you because she got a new boyfriend. If she was really committed to you, she would have stuck with you through the tough times even if she was dating someone else. However, if she was unlucky enough to break up with you at a bad time (for example, when things were already tough for you), then her breaking up with you may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back and led to your ultimate demise.
So even though luck cannot be controlled (and may sometimes be random), it’s still something that we can use as part of our overall strategy for success. By understanding how luck works and how to use it wisely, we can increase our chances of achieving our goals and reaching our full potential
