Make Luck Happen


"Diligence is the mother of good luck." Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

Oxford Dictionary: noun: A chance considered as a force that causes good or bad things to happen; something regarded as bringing about or portending good or bad things.

Sam Parker: noun: a force that makes things happen.

If you want more luck you need to be the force that makes it happen ... for  you:

  1. Prepare. Work hard to be ready for the opportunities that are important to you. Research. Practice. Perfect.
  2. Be awake. Pay attention to the people, events, and things around you. Evaluate logically and trust your gut instinct.
  3. Take action. Put yourself out there. Explore. Be vulnerable. Make contact with people. Take risks.
  4. Expect positive results. Optimism improves your chances. If you fail, embrace the lesson and continue on, smarter.

Now go be lucky and make something good happen for you and those around you.
