Lucky You?
I have debated the reality of luck more than once, because I don’t really believe it exists. I believe that luck comes to those who are ready for opportunity. Thus, being able to take advantage of it. This all comes together in the POP formula, or Preparation + Opportunity+ Passion=Luck. That’s right, luck is simply a combination of preparation and opportunity.
So what does this mean for all of you who have been “down on your luck?” It means that for some reason, you haven’t been prepared for the opportunities that have been coming to you. You may argue that you have done everything possible to be prepared for the next opportunity, but have you really? Do you know what that opportunity looks like? Have you taken the time to figure out what that opportunity is expecting of you?
Things don’t just happen; there is always a causal relationship between events. There are exceptions for miracles, but 99.99% of the time, there is a reason for what is going on. If you are having trouble getting to where you want to “go,” it may be time to re-evaluate exactly what that is going to take. Just like a client’s needs in business, opportunity is always changing…are you prepared for the newest expectations?
Take the time to outline your goals, in a very specific manner. Then, break them down into smaller steps. Once you know where you are going and have a defined path of action, you will know what you need to do in order to prepare yourself for the next step. Don’t be afraid; the universe is on your side, it WANTS you to succeed.
If being “lucky” enough to have the time to write a book is something that hasn’t happened yet, it won’t unless you take action. Nothing that we want in this universe comes with no effort. The Law of Attraction can put us in the right place at the right time, but it can’t do the work.

Accomplishing a goal, and being prepared for opportunity is one of the greatest feelings in the world.
Many people attribute their success to luck, and there is nothing wrong with that. If you have been blessed with success give yourself an extra “pat on the back” because you were ready at the right time. If you think back, can you see the role that the POP formula played in your life’s successes? Preparation + Opportunity+ Passion=LUCK!!
I know my success happened as a result of the POP formula. Time to start recognizing it, and using it on yours!!
