There are really four types of luck we were talking about.
"The harder I work, the luckier I get."
"The harder I work, the luckier I get."
The first type of luck is BLIND LUCK where one just gets lucky because something completely out of their control happened. Example fortune, fate, etc.
Than, there's luck through PERSISTENCE, HARD WORK, HUSTLE, AND MOTION. This is when you're running around creating opportunities. You are generating a lot of energy, you are doing a lot of stir things up. It's almost like mixing a Petri dish or mixing a bunch of reagents and seeing what combines. You are just generating enough force, hustle, and energy for luck to find you.
A third type is you become very good at SPOTTING LUCK. If you are very skilled in a field, you will notice when a lucky break happened in your field, and other people who aren't attuned to it won't notice. So, you become sensitive to luck.
The last type of luck is the WEIRDEST, HARDEST KIND, WHERE YOU BUILD A UNIQUE CHARACTER, A UNIQUE BRAND, A UNIQUE MINDSET, which causes luck to find you.
For example, let's say you are the best person in the world at deep-sea diving. You are known to take on deep-sea dives nobody else will ever dare to attempt. By sheer luck, somebody find a sunken treasure ship off the coast they can't get to. Well, their luck just because your luck, because they're going to come to you to get to the treasure, and you are going to get paid for it.
This is an extreme example, but it shows how one person had blind luck finding the treasure. Them coming to you to extract it and give you half is not blind luck. You created your own luck. You put yourself in a position to capitalize on luck or attract luck when nobody else created the opportunity for themselves.
It starts becoming so deterministic, it stops being luck. The definition starts fading from luck to destiny. To summarize the fourth type: build your character in a certain way, then your character becomes your destiny.
