In some instances where people might say you had a stroke of luck, it’s actually your strengths as a person that have come into play. In this audio clip, I’ll explain why I don’t believe in luck.
Do you fully embrace your strengths and talents as a person?
One way people sometimes fail to acknowledge their own merit is by attributing positive events to good luck.
I don’t believe in luck!
I don’t mean to be pessimistic.
I just don’t think there is some magical thing out there called luck that lands on random people at random times.
What is Luck?
I believe we create our own luck by taking action, by making progress, by learning lessons from our experiences, and by taking the opportunities we are presented with.
The next time you achieve something, think about the doors you had to walk through to make it happen.
The next time you want to achieve something, look for the doors that are available for you to walk through right now.
This recognition of open doors requires discernment because the doors of opportunity are rarely wide open. Sometimes they may just have a tiny opening. It’s up to you to seek opportunities (cracked doors); and it’s up to you to push your chosen door of opportunity open when you find it.
Once you get to the other side of the door, it is also important to acknowledge your strengths as a person.
Give yourself credit for all the things you did that allowed you to walk through that door.
You passed the tests (often, literally) that gave you the credentials to walk through it.
It was also related to how hard you studied, the way you think, what you believe about yourself, your training, your education, and even just the unique way your brain works.
Your strengths as a person include the skills you had to go out and gather through training and education.
They also include the qualities that are uniquely yours—the things you were born with that come naturally to you.
Both of these come together to create your destiny.
This is not luck! It’s alignment.
