The idea of luck is the belief that random, unpredictable events can favour an individual without their active participation in the process.

However, is this true? If this were to be true, it would mean that we are not 100% in control of our choices and our destiny.

This mindset is what makes people stay victims, continue to finger-point, and blame everybody but themselves for their situation.

In his book, The Compound Effect, he describes the complete formula for getting lucky as:

๐Ÿ’ก
Preparation (personal growth) + Attitude (belief/mindset) + Opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + Action (doing something about it) = Luck

When I first saw this video of Madison Baez Taylor, I was wowed by her performance, but beyond that, I saw a young lady who had been waiting for a moment like this for most of her young life!

Video from Cary Reynolds on YouTube: Madison Baez Taylor (11 years old) performing Amazing Grace - America's Got Talent - NBC - June 7, 2022

And when the opportunity came, she seized the moment and got the golden buzzer!

I hope when 'luck' comes this month of June it meets you prepared.

Whatever experience you have this month will be entirely up to your choices and your actions. So, make sure you are making the right choices and doing the right things.

Happy new month โค๏ธ
