F*ck Luck, Bitches

A good title that attracts attention is an effective marketing device, true enough. And I'm not above using tools and techniques to my advantage. But the title is more than that.

F---- luck is my way of saying, yes, luck is a good thing. And if you get some, great. But if luck doesn't show up? F--- it. You do not need to be lucky to have a great life.

What Is Good Luck? Brad Pitt gets lost on his way to a meeting with Steven Spielberg, accidentally walks into your living room, finds you utterly fascinating, and decides to make a movie about your life.

What Is Bad Luck? Brad Pitt gets lost on his way to meet with Steven Spielberg, loses control of his Mercedes trying to avoid a squirrel, and drives his car through your living room wall.

What do these two things have in common? Both scenarios are completely out of your control.

Waiting for good luck to arrive is as ridiculous as waiting for Brad Pitt to arrive. Trying to avoid bad luck is as ridiculous as moving because Brad Pitt might drive through your wall someday.

You deserve to define your life on your terms. Don't be the victim of luck, either good or bad. Your life should be what you make it.

Bet on yourself every time.

Most people think they need more luck. If this describes you, you're got it backward: Luck needs you. Luck doesn't show up-YOU show up. Luck is waiting for you to show the-f-up.
