Good luck

Luck is often seen as a cause. But almost always it is an effect.

Luck does not make anything happen. It describes what has already happened, which is to say, you make your own luck.

Luck is not a mysterious, arbitrary force. It happens for very real reasons.

Some factors in life you have control over, and other things you have little or no control over. Both affect the amount and direction of luck you perceive.

You can sway the balance decidedly in your favor by making sure those things under your control are pushing you forward. Though circumstances outside your control will not always be ideal, you can make sure the factors you do control will trend in your favor.

Through a positive focus, discipline, preparation, effort, and persistence, anyone can get lucky. Good luck is yours when you work your way toward it.

— Ralph Marston
