“Luck comes to a man who puts himself in the way of it. You went where something might be found and you found something, simple as that.”
— Louis L’Amour
Going where something might be found has nothing to do with luck. Rather, it is an intuitive way of looking at opportunity.
Before you can put yourself in the way of it, you have to apply yourself in ways that will get you there in the first place. Expending energy and effort. Making a personal investment. And staying the course. Not just once. Nor ten or a hundred times. But always.
A level of commitment that doesn’t just put you in the way of one thing. But many, many others just like it. Making things “luck” if you want to call it that.
Yet in reality, you are expanding opportunity.
But only through your steadfast commitment.
