You make your own luck

We make our own fortunes and call them fate.

Discipline!

Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built. Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.

Jim Rohn

Yup, talent is awesome. So are great circumstances or plain luck. But also hard work and dedication! And while you do not have controll over talent, circumstances or luck you do have controll over your own discipline!

Discipline will lead to success. Set yourself a goal, think about how to achieve it and work your ass off! It does not get any harder, and not simpler.

I do know how hard it can be, believe me. But I also do know that every single one of you (including me) is able to be disciplined.

You know the saying: You either face the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. I chose discipline, what will you?

Are you lucky?

Even luck needs practice.

Have you ever asked yourself why some people have so much more luck than others when luck itself has the trait to be totally random?

Luck is random indeed but most people have a lifestyle which prevents them from being lucky.  When your follow a strict overstuffed schedule every day it leaves luck no time to hit you. When you are a very withdrawn person who spends never goes to meet (new) people you don’t even have the possibility to have the luck to meet future friends, love, inspiration… And another reason why social relations help you being lucky is that most opportunities you get in life are give by or are related to the people you know.

So be open-minded, be communicative and leave room and time for the unexpected…
