"Luck is what you have left over after you give 100 percent." - Langston Coleman
Do you sometimes wonder why some people are blessed with good fortune while many watch and hope the same things will knock on their doors? Some people wear charms and stones and even consult fortune tellers because they believe that these medium will help change their fate and destiny.
But many wise men stated that prosperity, big breaks and good things happen when preparation meets opportunity? The people who are lucky and fortunate are those have made the decisions to take charge of their lives and take chances. They use bad experiences as lessons and avoid making excuses.
They know that things actually just don't happen. They are responsible to create change and determine what they want to experience. They believe that providence favors those who have visions, are passionate, impose self discipline, put in the efforts and have faith.
The thing that you set you set your mind to believe becomes your reality. If you continue to lament on how unlucky you have been, you will deny yourself the chance to have your big break.
Change how you have been identifying yourself and perceiving things. Hold a higher standard and expect fortunate events to happen regardless of what has happened in the past. You do that by focusing your attention on the positive and on what has worked. When you replace your limiting beliefs with empowering ones, you change your life.
The next person that you meet, a lecture that you listen to, or from reading some useful information may contribute to your big break. Take time to listen and watch successful people talk about how they made it.
Unless you are ready and prepared, you won't recognize it when it appears. Get yourself prepared by knowing what you truly desire. Make a firm decision on what you want to become and do.
The longer and the harder you work in the right direction, the bigger are your chances of being lucky. When you are busy doing and working, you will find the thrills and joy of creation and productivity.
Gather as much knowledge as you can and develop better skills. Your attitude about how much time and efforts you are willing to put in will determine your outcome. Remarkable results will happen when you are committed, stay positive and do all that you can.
Ralph Waldo Emerson stated that shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect. And there is a popular quote that states that the best way to best way to predict your future is to create it.
So can you predict how the outcome of your efforts will turn out? Yes, because the law of cause and effect shows that things do not happen by chance. Whether you are aware of it or otherwise, whatever you have done or thought of in the past produced your experiences today. What you are doing and thinking today and onward determines your future.
Almost everything takes time to develop and grow. Keep on persevering even if you are not seeing the miracle happening. If you put in the hours for study and work, your big break will show up. It's quite predictable.
The trouble is people give up too soon. Keep reminding yourself that you will finally reap the rewards equivalent to the amount of time and efforts that you put in.
