An ancient philosopher from Rome, Seneca, posited, “luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” There’s also the common phrase, “the harder I practice, the luckier I get” – apparently most people think Arnold Palmer, the professional championship-level golfer, used it most, but it’s been attributed to others.

16 Ways to Make Your Own Luck

When people have made it, they often actually want a chance to help someone out by bouncing ideas around and answering questions. They also want to make their own luck by putting themselves out there, too, so this is a win-win.

The downside of rejection is quite trivial, even though it feels different at the time, and the upside is that you find your perfect partner for life. Nothing could be better. Being willing to ask people out frequently helps you make your own luck.

Applying for a job is about the same as asking for a date. Even if you like your job, there are very few downsides to taking an interview. Maybe you luck out and find a perfect match, or walk yourself into a competitive offer-based pay raise. Both are good.

When you have a goal in life, it’s possible for other people to help you. But no one can help you if no one knows you’re doing it. Talking about your goals opens up that chance at the low, low price of hearing a few scoffs. But those people probably suck anyways, so they can just scoff away.

There are often times when my urban untrusting self takes over and says nah-ah but if I only listened to it I would have missed out on many of my life’s biggest events. Thankfully, I make my own luck and I push myself to go with it.
