So one of the biggest challenges people face is feeling unlucky. You know, feeling unlucky or like they are always just out of sync. It's frustrating. You hear about other sketching breaks and wonder why it never seems to happen to you. The problem is not that opportunities don't exist. Of course they exist, but it is often about not recognizing them or not being prepared when they appear. So this creates a cycle where people blame bad luck, but really it's about not being in the right mindset or space. That's it, that's the only thing. So I want to break this down. Today we're going to explore why timing feels elusive and how often we let great chances pass by. So let's dig into the science and real-life stories behind timing. So research suggests that luck is actually a mix of preparation, risk-taking especially, and an open mind. So psychologist Richard Wiseman found that lucky people often create their own luck by being observant and staying flexible. Think about entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs. He did not invent technology, but he saw the right trends at the right time. Ofra, you know Ofra Winfrey, her career took off not because of luck People think that but it wasn't because of luck, it was because she stayed prepared, was very you know, on track and took chances when opportunities arose.

So how can we apply this here? I have a few techniques for you, three techniques. The first one is stay curious. You need to be curious, you need to stay on track. You need to stay curious, explore new ideas and expand your horizon. So people who expose themselves to different environments often encounter more opportunities. So this is the first one. Second build relationships.

The more people you know, the more likely you are to hear about chances others might miss. Okay, be prepared. Number three. So stay ready.

Your whole perspective is going to change. It's going to be easier also, and when you step into that mindset, amazing things can happen.
