Reading Time: 4 minutes In my experience, luck happens when we take more risks, show up more often, play full out, look at things from a different perspective, keep being curious, stop making conclusions, expect miracles, stay true to our authenticity, and take the initiative to be prepared when opportunity knocks.
And it doesn’t hurt to decide that you’re lucky in advance, because sometimes we just have to make our own luck.
