5 ways you can create your own luck. Food for thought after watching a whole lot of eye rolling this weekend at other peoples success.
Number 1. Always remember life ain’t fair. Lady luck is like playing dodgeball blind folded. Totally random.
Number 2 . Shut up listen and learn. From everyone! You might think you have it all figured out but nobody does and everyone is constantly evolving as the world and particularly the world of barrel racing is constantly evolving. People create their own opportunities because someone in the position to give them one noticed they were willing to learn.
3 . Your own jealousy will beat you every time. I’ve been guilty of it in the past we all have. But focusing to much on one thing or person and 10 other people will get ahead of you.
4. Luck is WORK….. the winningest trainers I know are the hardest working they create their own luck. I’m not talking one person with a great horse I’m talking those people who make multiple great horses every year. A lot of people are given great opportunities every day and they aren’t willing to work hard enough to make it pay off.
5 . Follow the golden rule! In case they’ve banned that from school too with prayer “Treat others as you want to be treated.” It doesn’t always work but it weeds out the people in your life who don’t appreciate it leaving you with positive people willing to support each other.
Clay O’Brien Cooper just had a great article on roping is what we do not who we are. Every person I know who’s happiness is dictated by their immediate success is a miserable person every where else. I’ve been there it SUCKS.
