Words of wisdom for this week.<\/p>\n

“Action is eloquence.”<\/i>
\nShakespeare<\/p>\n

Is there any such thing as luck? The luck of the Irish? You lucky stiff… I never win anything…<\/p>\n

Everywhere people seem to have different views of luck or good fortune. I believe in timing and I also believe in synchronicity – that concept where certain things seem to happen and we are at a loss to explain how or why or when.<\/p>\n

I also believe in preparation, effort and persistence. Isn’t it is amazing how so many people who work hard, study diligently, commit to their goals and purpose often have more than their share of good luck?<\/p>\n

There is a great old saying: that luck is – nothing more than preparation meeting opportunity.<\/p>\n

I can’t tell you how to prepare, what to study, how hard to work or how long it will take. If I could, I wouldn’t be sitting at this computer right now slugging away. I’d be a genius cruising the Caribbean on my 75ft. sailboat.<\/p>\n

I can tell you however, that most of this doesn’t matter. Surprised? Well, I have seen people have good fortune without a lot of work and I have seen many people toil their entire lives and not once get a single lousy break. I have known PhD’s who struggle financially and I know many high school drop-outs who have become multi-millionaires. And, I have read about lottery winners who bought just one ticket, hit the jackpot and then spent the rest of their lives in misery.<\/p>\n

So what does matter? Six things…<\/p>\n
