Luck Meets Opportunity
"Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.” Oprah Winfrey
Have you ever heard of being at the right place at the right time? Have you ever wondered why some people get their lucky break and why you don’t? I believe that luck does not just happen and that you must work hard at what you want to achieve. You must make the time and put in the effort to succeed. If you are lucky enough to meet the right person that notices your hard work and dedication they may just provide you the opportunity to help you reach the next level.
We learn this word “opportunity” early on even from the very first moments of our existence. We depend on our parents to teach us to walk. Our parents don’t just will us to walk though. We have to put in the effort. We have to fall, many times, before we can succeed. As luck would have it, our parents are there to help pick us up, stable us, and encourage us to continue to try. They give us the opportunity to become better at what we do. Once we are successful they reward us with praise and love and give us the opportunity to learn the next thing, like potty training, feeding ourselves, and learning to ride a bike.
As we go through life, we take these same learned behaviors and put them to use in our professional and personal lives. We learn that luck does not just happen. We have to make it happen. We have to work hard to achieve our goals in life. If we put in the effort then people take notice of our accomplishments and reward us with compliments, whether it be verbal, buying our products and services, or even investing in you to help continue the growth you have already demonstrated. Bottom line is that you have to prepare yourself, demonstrate your capabilities and when luck does stop by you will be prepared to
