When we face a problem, too often we get stuck in the thinking: Why Me? Why did I get this problem? How come other people are more fortunate than me? How come they are lucky? and I am not? What I've learned in my life and what my co-author Rehan Yar Khan learned is that:
Luck is Not a Matter of Chance.
Luck is a matter of CHOICE.
Yes, perhaps 30% of it is completely random.
But 70% is still under our control.
We control the choices we make - which can drastically improve the quality of our life and help us grow.
Choices that are unusual, different and unique. Such as:
Being Obsessively Curious
Having a beginner's mind
Forget Plan A, B, C - instead have Multiple Plan A's
Not being better - but being different
And three others...
These 7 Luck Accelerators we have identified, can help us answer:
How can we grow in these times of change?
How do we get an edge?
How do we increase our odds of success?
We have to begin with recognizing that we can OWN luck.
Then we have to begin to Think and Act Differently - doing things that are different. Meeting people who are different. Deep learning to understand. and more.
