The mindset that includes the word "luck" can never work to its true potential.
I have explained in this story why we shouldn’t rely on luck and should instead focus on hard work.
I am working online in hope of earning money since 2019. I was so desperate to earn money that I wasted a lot of time learning different skills. I am calling it a waste of time as my approach to learning was wrong.
If you guys are my old readers, then you should know how my college life went. I think a lot about my failure moments and try to find a solution to avoid failure in the future. I found that due to this specific thinking, I lost most of my precious goals in the last two years, and now I am regretting it.
You guys already know from the title that specific thinking and false approaches include luck-based journeys.
Luck-based journeys include those during which one thinks that without luck he cannot achieve his destination. When he fails, he blames his luck, not his hard work.
I have observed in my previous years that whenever I thought that if I had luck I would pass, I truly failed in whatever I was doing—miserably. When I was giving the entrance test, I was totally thinking of luck. Everybody was saying to me that the entrance test is all about luck. Silly me that I fell into the trap of their words.
When I was heading towards the exam center, I was thinking that if I got the MCQs from chapter 3 of biology, I would top this test—daydreaming. However, I gave the test and also topped, but not on the topper list, but in the failure list.
At that time, I realized that I was blaming my luck instead of looking back and blaming my laziness, due to which I failed. I didn't do it as the thinking of blaming luck felt more comfortable than blaming myself.
After all of this that happened in my previous years, I have decided not to say the word luck even once in the future and I suggest this approach to you guys too.
Whatever you are doing, whether it's business, entrance test exam, or struggling for any other thing, just eliminate the word "luck" from your thinking. Give your best so that when you sleep at night, the pain in your body tells you that you have worked hard. I use this approach too, and I have seen a massive change in my lifestyle.
I haven't earned a penny till the start of 2024, but now my Medium account is an example in front of you.
The worry of failing is also disappears when you start to think that:
Luck is predictable; the harder you work, the luckier you get.
