When people achieve great success faster than others, they are immediately accused of having "good luck" and rarely attribute it to hard work. When people make a mess of their lives, largely due to their own shortcomings, they dismiss it as merely, "bad luck."
One of the reasons for this confusion in regards to success and failure is that most people do not understand the difference between "chance" and "luck." Chance is like gambling to casinos, to blackjack, poker, slot machines, lottery and horse racing. In games of chance, the outcome is almost completely out of your control and has nothing to do with success factors in life.
However, luck is the distant black cousin of chance. What we call "luck" is really the Law of Probabilities in action (the same randomness that governs the universe and your brain). The "lucky" man or woman has done many things that when combine together increased the likelihood that his or her desired goals would be achieved. If you examine the history of any great success and change in paradigm, and review the many actions leading up to it, you will see that the success factors always precede it; you will see a definite pattern emerge. You will see that the successful individual did many little things, sometimes for years, which made the final success possible.
So do the small things (write the first sentence, tighten that bolt around the drain pipe, set aside a penny for the future etc) everyday and you will achieve luck.
