Today morning I was having a small discussion with a friend of mine. Our friendship is as old as I am if not more. While talking about success in life he came up with the conclusion that all that matters is luck. His views are supported by many great achievers also and great speakers like Guy Kawasaki also.
I do not have any problem with admitting the role and importance of luck in success. However my key word is act rather than luck. For me the equation is simple enough, your luck can help you only if you are in process of acting. Luck would be at your side only when you are in motion. You may see yourself lucky by not getting any trouble if you stay at your own place sitting quite and calm or leading a peaceful path in your niche.
Niche is what makes the real difference. People who feel comfortable within their niche start feeling lucky because they are not exposed to different conditions. They might be successfull to some degree also. However the real success of life comes when one leaves his/her own niche. Leaving the native niche is first step towards being successfull and lucky. Had you not been lucky you would have been stuck in the very same niche. So for me the key word is act!
