People will tell you so much of life is up to luck. It probably is – and it doesn’t matter.

Luck is in the past.

And the past never stopped a winner.

Luck you could hardly change:

✅ where you were born
✅ your genes
✅ your parents and what they fed you
✅ the school your parents sent you to
✅ whether you had parents at all.

But nothing in front of you now is luck of that kind.

It’s all "luck" you can make for yourself.

If you have to change the entire culture to have the One Life you want – you change the culture.

You don't complain:

– that you were born at the wrong time;
– that you're misunderstood;
– that it's all "unfair".

Overwhelming odds? Focus on the moment and your authentic WILL.

If you Know what you want, reverse-engineer from the outcome to find things you can do NOW, in the moment, to ADVANCE.

This is how you "make” luck, and plenty of it. You take steps every day. Relentless as a river.

What did you do TODAY to make the world you WILL?

Life is like a game of poker.

Some people are born lucky. But they think they're successful because they "deserve" it or other semantics.

As their beginner's luck wears thin, they get more miserable. And end up lonely, hollow, retired – and out of luck.

Life is like a game of poker.

The longer you play, the more opportunities you get to fuck up. This is why making your own luck DAILY is essential to your continued ascent.

Indulge no shortcut. NONE.

You think you know which action-decisions made you? Your past success, you don’t know the beginning of it.

The ONE thing you know had an impact was the work you put in. Without the work, it never would have happened.
