Why Luck Isn’t Real.

Luck isn’t real.

I used to look at people who have accomplished massive things in admiration.

I consistently concluded and thought to myself: “Oh, they just got lucky!”

“They were probably in the right place at the right time and succeeded.”

Assuming that made me wander around with a feeling of defeat.

I became a pessimist.

I supposed that I would not be able to accomplish the goals I set for myself.

“When will I get lucky?” I asked myself.

However, the problem was that I didn’t even try to strive for my goals anymore.

I was so determined that I was going to fail that I didn’t even try to accomplish them.

The thing is, that action left me with one question:

Would I fail or reach my goal if I kept going?

Sure, maybe those people were at the right place at the right time, but at some point, they were just like me.

Eventually, I realized that it isn’t about being lucky or being in the right place at the right time.

It is about putting myself in the right place every single day.
