Success is not about luck
Many people believe success is luck. They point to someone rich, famous, gifted, or beautiful and say, âLook at them. They can walk into a room and read everything. They can present and make millions. They can start a project and watch it take off. They can learn a language fast. They can lose a hundred pounds and still look strong. They must be lucky.â But think for a moment. If I asked you whether your sex is the best sex to be, whether your race is the best race, whether your country is the best country, whether your language is the best language, whether your mother is the best motherâyou would probably say yes. Yet you didnât choose any of those things. You didnât select your race, your country, your parents, or your starting point. Those things just happened. They are flukes. Success isnât like that. Success is not a fluke. Success is technique. Itâs experimentation. Itâs trying, failing, adjusting, and finally landing on something that worksâand then doing that thing again and again until it becomes natural. Success principles donât care who uses them. If a wealthy person can flip a switch and turn on a light, a poor person can flip the same switch. Success responds to action, not destiny. Stop treating your life as if itâs ruled by chance. Your life bends toward what you repeatedly do. Success isnât luck. Success is what works.
