We all want success. However, most of us can agree that there is what you can do and what you can’t. There is what is within your control and completely out of your control, no matter what you do.

If you listen to the stories of some of the most influential or successful people in the world you may be surprised to note one common ingredient among the others you already know of such as hard work, determination, skill, and talent.

This additional ingredient is “luck”. Most of these people we look up to are likely to mention that there was a bit of luck here and there that let them arrive where we find them today.

Is luck purely just a matter of serendipity? Or are some of the efforts you make part and parcel of that luck being fully manifest in your life? I think for us to make the most of any good break that comes our way, we have to participate.

So, after recently having read a couple of books and listening to several audiobooks of various talented people that have attained mainly phenomenal success, I want to share the insights I’ve found involving their ability to be ready to take advantage of luck and in some cases, even create it.
