I sit down with Jose to dig into the fascinating idea that luck isn't just some random, mystical force but something we can actually create and harness in our lives. We dive into the concept that luck is a lot like catching waves - it's about positioning yourself in the right place and being ready to seize opportunities when they arise. Throughout our conversation, we explore how being open to synchronicity and unexpected connections can play a huge role in shaping our luck. We also discuss the delicate balance of good and bad luck, and why it’s so important to stay humble and grateful, no matter what kind of luck you’re experiencing. Today is all about shifting your mindset from waiting for luck to strike to actively creating it. Takeaways: - Luck is not purely random, but can be created and harnessed by positioning oneself to take advantage of opportunities. - Catching waves and catching luck are similar concepts that require positioning, awareness, and the ability to ride the wave or opportunity. - Synchronicity is a sign that you are on the right path and everything is falling into place. - Bad luck and good luck coexist, and experiencing both can help us appreciate the good times and grow from the challenges. - Staying humble, grateful, and level-headed is important in both good and bad luck situations.
