I want to share a powerful concept that
0:02
could completely change how you approach
0:04
your goals it's called increasing your
0:07
surface area of luck this idea is rooted
0:10
in research backed by psychology and
0:12
super actionable first let's break it
0:15
down luck isn't just about random chance
0:19
it's about creating opportunities where
0:21
luck can find you Jason Roberts puts it
0:24
perfectly luck is like a wind blowing
0:27
around us all the time but but it's only
0:30
when you hoist your sales that you can
0:33
catch it think of the surface area of
0:36
luck as the number or size of your sale
0:40
the more or bigger it is the more
0:43
opportunities for luck to strike think
0:46
about it for a moment how did luck or
0:49
chance play a role in meeting your
0:51
partner Landing your dream job or
0:54
achieving one of your biggest Milestones
0:57
chances are you did set yourself up to
1:00
to become lucky even without realizing
1:02
it maybe you attended a party you almost
1:05
skipped took a class out of curiosity or
1:08
reached out to someone on a whim these
1:11
small actions things you chose to do
1:15
people you chose to talk to created the
1:19
conditions for that lucky break you
1:21
increased your surface area of luck and
1:24
that's the magic we want to tap into
1:27
even in my own life I can think of
1:29
situations ations where luck seemingly
1:32
played a role but looking back I see
1:34
that it wasn't just random chance I
1:37
should up I took small steps I
1:40
communicated my desires and remained
1:43
open and flexible for instance 15 years
1:47
ago I took a trip to Havana which I was
1:49
actually trying to avoid being my
1:51
introverted overly Studio self and by
1:55
pure chance I literally bumped into my
1:57
now husband that moment changed my life
2:00
forever but here's the thing you don't
2:03
always see or feel the benefits of these
2:06
chance encounters
2:07
immediately sometimes it takes months
2:10
years or even decades to realize how
2:13
much a single decision or conversation
2:16
shaped your part and that's why it's so
2:19
important to keep showing up to stay
2:22
open to plan those seeds for luck to
2:25
grow there's this quote by Alistair
2:27
gracian which states it is a great piece
2:30
of skill to know how to guide your luck
2:33
even while you're waiting for it so
2:36
although luck requires patience here are
2:39
the action steps for you to guide your
2:41
luck find ways to increase your
2:44
visibility every new interaction project
2:47
or idea you share is like adding a
2:50
thread to your sale the more places
2:52
you're in the more chances luck has to
2:55
notice you oh and don't be afraid or too
2:58
shy to use social media to your
3:00
advantage before starting my blog and
3:03
creating these videos I hardly did
3:05
anything at all on social media not only
3:08
did I not want to post anything I didn't
3:11
want my family to post anything about me
3:13
even though I honestly still cringe
3:15
every time I post a video I'm often
3:18
ashamed to share my own videos on other
3:21
platforms but you know what I do it
3:23
anyways well sometimes at least what can
3:27
you do to increase your visibility to
3:29
let ughs see your skills and talents it
3:32
doesn't even have to be on social media
3:35
maybe you could join a local group
3:36
attend networking events share your work
3:39
with colleagues or even volunteer for
3:41
projects that showcase your abilities
3:44
it's about stepping into the spotlight
3:47
even if it feels uncomfortable because
3:50
that's where luck starts finding you and
3:53
let me be the first to tell you it might
3:55
not appear to be immediately beneficial
3:58
at first so you may the desire to stop
4:02
because of the fear of wasted efforts
4:04
but believe this as you increase your
4:08
visibility in positive ways of course
4:11
your life will expand your confidence
4:13
will grow and you will start to step
4:15
into your purpose luck loves Community
4:19
the sociologist Mark Gran's research on
4:22
weak ties the Casual acquaintances we
4:25
don't know well shows that they are
4:27
often the source of unexpected opport
4:29
opportunities so don't ignore your
4:32
acquaintances make it a point to connect
4:34
with new people and maintain those
4:36
relationships you never know when
4:38
someone might introduce you to your next
4:41
big opportunity and even if they don't
4:44
they can add some Joy or inspiration to
4:47
your life five and a half years ago I
4:49
casually mentioned to someone that I was
4:51
sending out a few job applications I
4:54
didn't even ask for a referral because
4:56
that person doesn't even work in the
4:58
same industry my mons later they came
5:00
back with a referral that opened doors I
5:03
never imagined who you surround yourself
5:05
with Will profoundly impact how you
5:07
think what you believe is possible and
5:10
ultimately what you achieve surround
5:13
yourself with people that are happier
5:15
than you more spiritual than you more
5:17
successful than you more health
5:19
conscious than you limit the time you
5:21
spend with people who are negative
5:23
fearful or complacent Jame Ron famously
5:27
said you are the average of the five
5:29
people spend the most time with so don't
5:31
ignore your circle even if you have to
5:34
find those inspirational people online
5:37
take AIS increasing your luck means
5:40
stepping out of your comfort zone yes
5:43
failure might happen but as Thomas
5:45
Edison famously said I have not failed I
5:48
have just found 10,000 ways that won't
5:51
work every time you try something new
5:53
you're giving luck another chance to
5:55
find you so launch that business pitch
5:58
that wild idea idea or finally apply for
6:01
your dream job risk and reward often go
6:04
hand inand I'm planning to take some
6:07
bigger risk this new year and although I
6:10
haven't quite overcome my fear of
6:12
failure I'm doing it anyways because
6:15
I've realize that not trying is even
6:17
worse than failing my only
6:19
responsibility is my input not the
6:22
outcome so I'll give it my best shot and
6:24
I'll leave the rest to God and I'm very
6:26
much aware that many of the things I'll
6:28
try may never work work out the way I
6:30
intended but I'll gamble on the chance
6:32
that they'll work out even better or
6:34
could maybe lead me to something
6:36
entirely different but even more amazing
6:39
be adaptable life throws curveballs but
6:43
sometimes those curve balls are exactly
6:47
what we need be resilient see obstacles
6:50
as opportunities I really did not want
6:53
to go to medical school in Cuba and
6:55
honestly the reason I did not want to go
6:57
was because of the things I would hear
7:00
people say about Cuba mind you these
7:03
comments were from people that were
7:05
never even there but the opportunity was
7:07
there and at the last minute I just
7:09
decided to reluctantly take that
7:12
scholarship and I still think that that
7:14
was one of the best decisions that truly
7:16
shaped my life and it's not just because
7:19
of the educational opportunity the
7:21
journey developed my resilience my
7:23
discipline my tolerance my interpersonal
7:26
skills and my appreciation for the
7:28
people in my life so I encourage you to
7:30
not be so fixated on how you think your
7:34
life should be that you miss out on all
7:36
the amazing blessings and opportunities
7:38
that are within your grasp as you
7:40
increase your surface area of luck never
7:43
ignore the collateral benefits honestly
7:46
I'm tired of sitting around and waiting
7:48
for good things to happen to me I'm
7:50
tired of feeling so heavily dependent on
7:53
others to give me opportunities or open
7:55
doors for me this year I'm choosing a
7:58
different approach I'm choosing to take
8:00
action to create my own opportunities to
8:03
step out of my comfort zone and to
8:05
increase my visibility if you've ever
8:07
felt the same way frustrated stuck or
8:10
waiting for someone else to give you a
8:12
break know this you have the power to
8:16
shift that narrative you don't have to
8:18
sit and wait for someone to pick you up
8:21
you pick yourself up start small but
8:23
start today take one step no matter how
8:27
small to create the opportunity you've
8:29
been hoping for and yes of course others
8:33
will help along the way no one succeeds
8:36
entirely on their own but you can't rely
8:39
solely on others to make things happen
8:41
for you you have to take the lead in
8:44
Your Own Story the most successful
8:47
unfulfilled people aren't just waiting
8:49
for the perfect conditions they're
8:52
creating them they're taking chances
8:54
showing up and doing the work even when
8:57
it's uncomfortable or scary
8:59
so yes accept help when it's offered
9:03
build strong relationships and lean on
9:05
your community but remember you're the
9:07
driving force behind your own success no
9:10
one else can want it for you more than
9:12
you want it for yourself do you really
9:14
want to be successful do you really want
9:17
to improve your health let your actions
9:20
speak louder than your words your goals
9:23
aren't just dreams their action plans by
9:26
increasing your surface area of luck
9:28
you're setting yourself up for more
9:30
opportunities more connections and yes
9:33
more wins this doesn't negate my belief
9:36
that good things are a blessing from God
9:39
in fact I see these moments of luck as
9:42
part of a bigger divine plan I believe
9:45
God places Us in the right place at the
9:47
right time but we also have a role to
9:50
play to step out in faith to take action
9:53
and to remain open to the opportunities
9:55
he provides so while chance might seem
9:58
random
9:59
I think it's often God's way of aligning
10:02
the pieces of our lives in ways we can't
10:04
yet comprehend by expanding our surface
10:08
area of luck showing up taking risk and
10:11
building connections we're also aligning
10:13
ourselves with his Blessing and purpose
10:15
for us what are your thoughts on this
10:18
let me know in the comments below
10:20
remember luck isn't Magic it's the
10:23
intersection of preparation action and a
10:26
little bit of Fai so now you have all
10:28
the information inform you need to make
10:30
this year your most successful year yet
10:34

10:35
