So it follows that you’ll never be lucky if you sidestep the right place or the right time; you’ll never be lucky if you second guess yourself, dilly-dally, get diverted or change your mind on the way. Luck is about being mindful enough to notice opportunity when it comes along and then being willing to step into it.
This could be a deliberate choice or it could be a subtle nudge from your intuition – but regardless of whether it’s conscious or sub-conscious, it requires trust. Being lucky requires that you trust yourself to take a step forwards, to trust your gut and to trust yourself to deal with whatever might happen.
Those people who always seem to land on their feet and always seem to get lucky? Those are the people who have developed a way of thinking that encourages self-trust. Those are the people who have wired luck into their brains.
Steve Jobs speaks of trusting the dots will connect.
