Your piece reminded me of a quote by Robert A. Heinlein - “There is no such thing as luck. There is only adequate or inadequate preparation to cope with a statistical universe.”

Made me chuckled because the quote also reminded me of the book “The Secret” - the book that became such a boom when it first introduced the concept of law of attraction. Basically saying, your thoughts create your reality.

The book “The Alchemist” also has the same theme. “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

But the most relatable explanation I came across was from this talk between Daniel Schmachtenberger, John Vervaeke and Iain McGilchrist - “your attention changes how you perceive the world”. And that instantly clicked for me.
