You may be familiar with the concept of creating your own luck.  The idea is that in most situations, the statistical chances of good things happening are greatly improved by frequently putting yourself in situations that could yield a positive outcome.

A real-life example might look something like this: a guy who’s determined to find a date for the high school prom asks 12 different people before he finally gets a yes.

Another example would be a person who is determined to make a living as a self-employed individual.  This person may try all kinds of home based businesses, MLM’s, and may even go bankrupt in a first, second, or third attempt to develop a service based company such as walking other people’s dogs or renting out jet skis at the ocean shore.

If this person can find a way to persist despite the many failed attempts, success will become increasingly likely.

That’s because success is often a numbers game.

It often has more to do with persistence than talent because persistence has the added benefit of increasing your odds of success, while talent only provides an advantage when for starting out.

The main problem with this system for success is that there’s only so much time that you have and only so many places you can focus your attention.  This limits the degree to which you can achieve success in all areas of your life, even if the principle behind this method is a sound one.  We have the solution.

What if I told you that there are a set of skills that are highly related to success?  What if I told you these are skills that require effort, but which yield all of the things that you desire in your life?

Can you guess what I’m about to explain?

I’m talking about leveraging the principle of increasing your luck by multiplying its effect when you focus its power on the development of personal abilities and skills at skyrocket your success.  This is the ULTIMATE formula for high-level success in virtually every area of life.

Here’s how it would work.  You would discipline your mind to develop unusual mental ability for mastery over your emotional state and your motivation.

You would learn how to train your mind to enjoy things that other people were not able to persist at because they were using raw willpower.  By learning how to turn your own mind into a virtual self motivation machine with perpetual energy and joy in the pursuit of meaningful life goals, you have reached beyond the highest level of self-created luck.

Only with persistence in developing the skills would they actually developed to the degree that would separate you from the rest of mankind.

If you have to choose one place to focus your effort to create your own luck, let it be on the system itself (your mind).

Pour your resources into that focus point first, and all the other things that you need man-made luck for we’ll follow (at a pace that you cannot yet imagine).  People often and articles like this by saying something like “try it for yourself.” You would be a fool to “try it.” Commit your life to it.  It will bring all the joy, power, and luck you will ever need.
