When it comes to success and achievements, luck often plays a bigger role than we like to admit. But here’s the good news: luck isn’t some mystical force reserved for a select few. I firmly believe that everyone can find their luck—it just might not happen on the first attempt.
The Role of Luck in My Journey
Looking back at my own achievements, I can clearly see how luck played a significant part. Take, for instance, my time as a sales representative. One day, by sheer coincidence, I met a regional manager. Despite my initial attempts to avoid meeting him that day, we crossed paths, and he ended up offering me a full-time position on the spot. That chance encounter was pure luck. But here’s the catch: it didn’t happen in my first month or even my first year. By then, I had been working as a sales rep for over four years, consistently showing up and putting in the effort.
A similar story unfolded during my virtual assistant (VA) career. I landed an amazing client on Fiverr when I still had New Seller status and only a handful of reviews. But that “lucky” break came after a series of challenges: having my first Fiverr account deleted, struggling on other platforms, and enduring a 50% negative review rate from clients on yet another platform.
Luck Takes Time and Effort
These experiences taught me an important lesson: luck doesn’t strike immediately. It’s not about stumbling upon success on your first or second try. Instead, it’s about persevering through the setbacks and disappointments until you create the right circumstances for luck to find you.
Think of it this way: luck is like a hidden treasure. You won’t find it by digging one or two shallow holes. You have to keep searching, digging deeper, and refining your approach. Eventually, you’ll strike gold.
How to Find Your Luck
If you’re feeling discouraged in your journey, here are a few reminders:
- Keep showing up. Consistency is often the foundation of luck.
- Don’t give up too soon. Many people quit right before they’re about to find their breakthrough.
- Learn from failures. Every setback teaches you something that can help you move closer to success.
- Stay open to opportunities. Sometimes, luck appears in the most unexpected ways.
Everyone Can Find Their Luck
You have what it takes to find your luck. It might not happen overnight, but if you persist and keep trying, you’ll eventually create the opportunity you need. Luck favors those who refuse to give up.
So, here’s my message to you: keep going. Your luck is out there, waiting for you to find it. And when you do, everything will start falling into place.
Cheers to finding your luck!
