Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
DARRELL ROYAL
What exactly is luck?
Have you ever been entirely prepared for a circumstance and some degree of serendipity connected everything for you?
Do you consider that to be a lucky break or do you consider that greater forces of alignment hyperconnected on your behalf?
If we are looking for a direct cause and effect of luck, and we are trying to bring our respective components together in order that we might catch some of that luck, how might we best proceed?
Luck can be readily defined by the circumstantial evidence that was present in advance of that luck transpiring.
If we are considering the most rudimentary forms of luck, such as finding money on the ground, or getting a great hand in a card game, or throwing the dice and turning up the proper number, or even tossing a coin and determining which side will land facing up, we might argue that there is nothing circumstantial about that… but that would actually be factually inaccurate, in that you had to have been in the spot where you would have found the money or playing the game where you got the good hand of cards or throwing the die or tossing the coin, for none of those moments would have happened for you if you were not in that basic position.
If we look further, we would be able to see that luck presents itself on both a personal and a professional basis in countless ways, and when those moments transpire, we may or may not be cognizant of the fact that we have put ourselves in such a position, but in hindsight, upon further reflection, we would be prudent to discover that our luck is continuously evolving from our ability to go out into the world and engage in ways that enable us to benefit, when luck strikes.
As we recognize with frequency, that luck evolves through our respective alignment with circumstances, we are even further capable of accentuating how and why that could potentially transpire by perpetuating the continued opportunity for the luck to land in our lap by elevating our state of preparedness for exactly such a circumstance.
If we are fully understanding the dynamics of such a situation, it will be through our preparation, combining with the opportunities we seek, in order for our luck to manifest to our greatest potential.
Happy Wednesday!
