Motivational Power Quote
A Matter of Luck
"Luck is what happens when preparation
meets opportunity."
Seneca, Roman Philosopher 1BC-AD 65
As I see it. . . . . . . .
A matter of luck
There is an old saying "that the harder you work the luckier you get."
That saying is true to a point. Hard work certainly can open doors and create opportunities but hard work by itself will not carry us over the finish line. When we combine hard work with working productively with focused activities the likelihood of successful results is greatly increased.
Before our activities become productive we have to prepare ourselves to achieve successful results. Plunging into activities without preparation can become a recipe for disaster of wasting opportunities and becoming a total misplacement of efforts and a waste of time.
Successful results are not a matter of luck; successful results are created in the preparation by those who plan for their success and then work hard to achieve it. The people who have prepared themselves for success and work at it will seem to find luck on their success journey.
When we take on a task that we have prepared ourselves for and apply a health dose of hard work we will find ourselves becoming lucky.
Success becomes a matter of luck when we have prepared ourselves to meet our opportunities.
