How Luck Manifests in Different Ways
“So maybe there is more to luck than meets the eye.”(sahilbloom.com)
Luck is a methodical phenomenon, not merely a random occurrence.
There’re four types of luck, according to the neurologist, Dr. James Austin:
1. Blind luck
The only type of luck over which we've got no control. We cannot choose where, when, or who we were born to.
2. Luck from motion
Our hustle and energy create collisions, or the coming together of fortunate circumstances and opportunities.
We take on additional responsibilities on the job. We meet new people, and our connections attract lucky breaks.
3. Luck from awareness
Our knowledge and depth of experience in a domain enable us to spot and exploit lucky opportunities.
4. Luck from uniqueness
Our unique abilities, skills, hobbies, and side hustles help us seize emerging opportunities in specific domains.
Performance, preparedness, and positioning attract luck.
