My understanding and interpretation of the above quote is: Preparation plus opportunity equals luck. This in simply terms means that if you prepare yourself well and identify the opportunity, you become lucky.
Let’s start with preparation, how does one prepare oneself, and how much can one prepare oneself to be lucky? The answers to the questions above are:
- Firstly, it is the belief that you can achieve much better results than you currently have.
- Develop a positive mindset and faith that it’s possible to achieve this as long as you are breathing, irrespective of your background, colour, race, gender, or age.
- The clear understanding of the luck formula mentioned above.
You can prepare yourself as much as you possibly want to, the more the preparation the luckier you get, and there is no limitation.
You can read as much as you want, attend as many seminars as you want, workshops, networking sessions, listening to positive messages and reprogram your mind as much as you possibly want.
I came across this fortune and applied it and I never looked back. Try develop yourself every day and you will notice the difference in your life, the results will show.
South Africa alone has a population of more than 54 million people and they all have problems they are battling with and needing solutions. All these problems are opportunities in disguise. If you follow the three steps listed above and start noticing what people around you are complaining, stressing, or worried about, that is the opportunity, write it down and prepare yourself well enough, and soon you will be lucky!
I can hear those little voices saying: “You don’t understand my situation, or my plight is different”; “I am not ready now,”; “You just make it sound so easy.” Remember what we said about these little voices or distractions earlier? “Thank you for sharing, and now, let me do what I need to do, period.”
Let me tell you, it’s not the situation but it is your mindset that is letting you down. Sort out your mindset and start creating your own luck, now you know the Happiness/Luck formula and you don’t need people’s “Good luck” any more.
