Success Isn’t Luck: 3 Powerful Habits to Achieve Your Goals
Many people associate luck with success. They see someone go viral on social media or witness a business booming overnight. These moments of success are often dismissed as mere luck. You might even find yourself thinking, “Why don’t I ever have that kind of good fortune?”
But have you ever stopped to consider how much of success is truly up to chance and how much is within our control?
When I see people go viral on social media, I see hard workers. Yes, the algorithm can be tricky, but the key to social media success is consistency. Real progress stems from steady, intentional habits over time.
It’s time for a mindset shift. Luck doesn’t just happen to people—it is often the result of small, consistent efforts that compound over time.
Here are three “lucky” habits for reaching your goals:
Gratitude Practice: Focus on what is already working in your journey toward your goals. If you only concentrate on what’s going wrong, you’ll miss the opportunity to build on your strengths and find joy in the process.
Kind Self-Talk: Encourage yourself the way you would a trusted friend. Think about who you turn to when you need a morale boost. How do they lift you up? While it’s great to have supportive people in your life, you also need to be your own source of encouragement.
Micro-Actions: Take one small step each day toward your goals. It can be tempting to blame luck for our circumstances rather than focusing on what is within our control. Goals can feel overwhelming, but by starting small and making steady progress, you set yourself up for long-term success.
Remember, you don’t need luck—you need self-kindness and consistent action. You got this!
