Making Our Own Luck

Posted in Educational Leadership, Global Leadership, Leadership, Leadership Development by Dr. Byron L. Ernest on March 30, 2025

The past couple of days I have the phrase related to “making one’s own luck.” I’ve thought about this a lot and wonder if we can make our own luck. While we can’t control every circumstance, we can certainly influence our own luck through our actions and mindset. As the old saying goes, luck often comes to those who are ready for opportunities. By honing our skills and learning new things, we increase the chances of seizing opportunities when they arise.

It also comes down to building relationships because those relationships can open doors that might not be available otherwise. Also, what seems like bad luck can be a valuable learning experience. Embracing failure as a part of the journey can lead to greater success in the future.

I guess we can say luck can sometimes play a role, our efforts and attitudes can significantly shape the outcomes we experience. In other words, if we want to make our own luck we must take the initiative. We can’t wait for opportunities to come to us. We must be proactive in seeking out new experiences or challenges.
