It is far too easy to look at others around you and push off their accomplishments or positive graces as “luck”. We do this because the explanation of universal chance is far easier to swallow than the possibility that others are simply more successful than ourselves. This very mindset is a part of what is holding us back. The truth is they didn’t get that internship out of luck; they don’t have your dream body by chance; and their smile isn’t beaming across their face just by coincidence. Others have features in their lives, not because they’re lucky, but because they’ve worked for it. The best way for you to become “lucky” is by doing the same, and of course by reading this post where I will walk you through how to increase your chances for good fortune. 

 It’s no secret that as humans we don’t enjoy lying in our own agony. That no one wants to feel lost or out of place. But what happens when this state is the only way to not fall or fail? To reach a potential one could only ever imagine?
