âLuck is when preparation meets opportunityâ
This is partly true
The ability to see opportunity is the pre-requisite
3) The ability to see opportunity You always find what youâre looking for
âSeek & you shall findâ
This is why we donât remember cars we see in traffic
But if our dream car drives by
...our awareness gets drawn to glance over at it like a magnet
This is why beliefs are so important
It programs the brains RAS (selective focus) to reinforce what you already believe
If you believe thereâs nobody cool in your town
Your brain will only be able to see boring people
Even if great people are standing right in front of you..

Imagine youâre in a theater with 500 peopleLook around for 4 seconds & find everything brown
Now tell me everything you saw that was red
This is exactly how Beliefs work
Red is there, but if we arenât looking for it
Itâs as if it wasnât even there
This is why so many books say to write & read what you want 3x a day & think about it oftenThis gets the subconscious & RAS seeking & aligned with those things
Which makes things pertaining to the goal stand out
Which leads to hunches & insights, opportunities spotted
Final note which ties in point 1 & 2
Quality > Quantity is what we often hear
But quantity leads to quality
Quantity is practice
High school basketball vs when he got into the NBA
Lots of quantity lead to quality

But quantity leads to quality

Luck can be created, it does not need to be awaitedFortune favors the bold
