According to Seneca, the Roman philosopher who coined the above observation, we manifest our own luck. Luck does not happen to us. If we’re prepared luck naturally manifests itself in our lives. So show up.
What is perceived as luck is actually a direct result of our own practice and preparedness prior to the opportunity that arises and presents itself to us with little to no additional effort. Longevity lies in consistency.
“Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything.”
