The Goddess of Good Luck Favors Those Who...
Published under Wordpress Themes » WP ArticlesThe Richest Man in Babylon" is a book I ready many moons ago. Several solid "Babylonian wealth principles" are covered. You should read it if you haven't yet. All the parables are solid but one of them struck a chord with me. On the bottom of page 56, you'll find these words:
"Men of action are favored by the Goddess of Good Luck."
Surely this Goddess favors women of action too. I'm not sexist. It's not the God of Good Luck anyway. It's the Goddess of Good Luck and those are the words in the book.
Contrary to what all the whiners of the world think, successful people don't become successful purely on luck. They got off their butts and took action...and the Goddess of Good Luck favors people who take action. It's not just a Babylonian parable. It's a fact.
Luck is when preparation meets opportunity. And we are surrounded by opportunity...so much opportunity that it's not possible to even take advantage of all the opportunity. But those who are not prepared to meet opportunity wouldn't recognize it if it poked them in the eye so it's not likely they'll ever get "lucky." They'll just complain day after day as they watch others get "lucky" and unless they take action to prepare themselves to recognize opportunity that surrounds them, the cycle repeats itself until they die...probably broke.
All they really need to do is model successful people and they could achieve the same results. They could simply ask a successful person they know or they could read books at the local library about the lives of successful people and notice the commonalities. Both of these methods are free.
Woody Allen said half of success is just showing up and he's probably right. In a previous article (When They Were 22) I shared the story of how a carpenter named Harrison Ford got his "lucky" break and turned into a mega- successful actor. He was actually hanging out in places where actors get hired. He wasn't sitting on the sofa in front of the idiot box dreaming about becoming an actor. He is a man of action, the type favored by the Goddess of Good Luck. And surprise, since he just showed up at a place where actors are hired, he got "lucky" and found an acting gig as an extra. A short time later he was cast as Han Solo in Star Wars and it turned out that was just the beginning. And it all started with a simple action.
