Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity……”
Seneca
How many of us think of luck as something random and unplanned? Whether good or bad, we may think of it as an out-of-control blessing or a curse.
When Seneca wrote this in the first century, luck was typically controlled by an emperor or king. Still, as the centuries passed, we began to control the circumstances of our lives on a more individual basis through knowledge and faith.
The most successful people I know have followed this philosophy in their lives, and it makes more sense now than ever. When an opportunity presents itself, prepare by planning, praying, and recognizing resources and blessings around you.
God truly rewards those who combine faith, hard work, and insight. Combined, all three create a life of thriving and not surviving. Luck truly is the moment our prayers, hard work, and knowledge visit our lives.
Today’s opportunity is life. So live to the fullest, prepare for the storm, take a few minutes to reflect and pray and appreciate life for all it has to offer.
Praying we all have good luck!
