Opportunity Luck is a unique type of good luck because it is manufactured. You manufacture Opportunity Luck by doing things which create the opportunity for good luck to occur.
One of those things that creates Opportunity Luck is pursuing a dream.
The pursuit of a dream, by default, requires the creation of goals. Goals must have two things:
- Physical Activity and
- 100% Achievability
Dreams unleash passion which motivates you to take action. If you have the requisite skills and knowledge to take that action, the goals become 100% achievable.
The objective of every goal is to produce some desired outcome. Sometimes, however, those outcomes exceed your expectations or create unexpected outcomes that benefit your life in some way. Exceeded expectations and unexpected good outcomes are typically referred to as good luck.
This is Opportunity Luck – luck you create by pursuing the goals behind your dreams.
Opportunity Luck likes dreamers. And it reveals itself only to dreamers who take action on their dreams.
When you are the beneficiary of Opportunity Luck, your life improves in some way. Very often, this benefit is in the form of wealth or money, particularly if your dream is something that can be monetized.
Mark Zuckerberg was the beneficiary of Opportunity Luck. So too was Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Warren Buffet and Bill Gates.
They all took action on their dreams, and they got lucky.
Opportunity Luck does not visit those sitting on the couch watching TV. It doesn’t visit those reading Harry Potter (unless you are J.K. Rowling). It doesn’t visit those who are too afraid to pursue their dreams and, thus, the goals behind their dreams.
Opportunity Luck only visits those who take action on their dreams. It is one of the great secrets to success, that few are aware of.
Let luck find you. Pursue a dream today. Stop thinking about it and do it.
For every dreamer, hard work, disappointment, obstacles and problems are your bedfellows, but so too is Opportunity Luck. And when Opportunity Luck finds you, everything about your life changes, for the better.
