Make plans for your lucky break.  I saw a version of this statement in a book I am doing some research on.  I know that people know others who always seem to have luck on their side. The question that few people bother to ask is what type of planning or preparation took place before that person's success?  When you think back to being in school and taking a test, the times when you did the best were probably most attributable to your preparation in studying prior to it.  The fact that when the exam was taken and you remembered many of the answers that were presented to you on that piece of paper, had much to with what was already stored in your brain.  Luck can be defined as; events that are beyond control and seem subject to chance.  So if you leave things up to chance, then the best bet would be to have a sense of preparedness, that can work towards tilting the scales in your favor.  One never knows when an opportunity may come their way, however, those with so called luck were probably always planning for the favorable time when they would be able to take that step in the right direction.  Think about the precision of a professional athlete and what they sometimes have to sacrifice to have their bodies in optimal condition.  I am sure that they would love to not have to count calories or perhaps have to exercise close to everyday, yet, in order for them to obtain the desired results, there must be consistency and effort that will allow them to get there.  So if you feel that you could use a bit of luck on your side, then take those needed steps to create the environment for luck to be able to manifest itself in your own life.  Getting a break in your finances, health or personal life can be all within your reach.  The determining factor could lie upon what you have done to formulate the circumstance that you so desire.  With a bit of effort, you will find that good planning will lead to your encounter with fate, that can transform where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow.
