“ Luck is being in the right place at the right time, but location and timing are to some extent under our control”.

Natasha Josefowitz

“I am a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it”.

Thomas Jefferson

Lucky guys are not merely lucky. They are more alert in seizing opportunities for success.

It appears counter intuitive that luck can be “ fabricated”, or “ manufactured” because we associate luck with a happy accident that happened because of the good fortune of the beneficiary .

Luck happens when opportunity meets preparation.

Luck = Diligence+Synchronicity +Serendipity

Synchronicity is aligning ourselves with the natural flow of life. Letting go things that do not add value to our lives, being patient. focusing on process than on outcome, learning from mistakes, being open minded about new things, are all ways to achieve synchronicity.

Serendipity is about happy accidents. But their randomness is deceptive. Many great scientific discoveries happened serendipitously. The scientists were working on one thing, but stumbled upon another great discovery.But if we look at these examples, it is clear that one thing led to another —had the scientists not worked hard in a particular way or direction, there was no way they could have made the happy connection. The dots connected themselves.

In his book “ Luck Factor”, Psychologist Richard Wiseman identifies four routes to harvesting more luck.

  1. Maximize your chance possibilities. Learn new skills, network more.
  2. Listen to your gut. Often the heart knows more than the head. The hunch can be either to seize the opportunity or to avoid an opportunity.
  3. Expect good fortune. Having positive expectations can create self-fulfilling prophesies.
  4. Turn bad luck into good luck- Learn from mistakes, rewrite your script, tweak or overhaul your strategies.

It is said God helps those who help themselves. We can invite luck into our lives if we diversify our skills, work consistently and diligently, notwithstanding setbacks. Sometimes we need to push our limits to know our potential. The “chances” are that “Dame Luck” will smile on those who put in the efforts, and do all they can to maximize their potential.
