Luck isn’t magic.
It’s manufactured.
You don’t stumble into a lucky break.
You prepare your way into it.
Luck looks like a lottery ticket to outsiders.
To the person who “got lucky,” it’s a thousand hours of preparation meeting a single moment of opportunity.
You don’t just wish for luck.
You put yourself in position for it.
You research.
You study.
You learn the patterns.
You invest in understanding the game before you ever step onto the field.
That way, when an opportunity presents itself, it doesn’t look like luck.
It looks like the next logical step.
Unprepared people don’t get lucky.
They get blindsided.
Being in the right place at the right time isn’t luck if you spend years making sure you’ll be there when it matters.
So before you say, “They just got lucky,” ask yourself: Did they?
Or did they create conditions where luck had no choice but to show up?
