how to turn the odds in your favor

I truly believe that we choose less that we think, we may believe that our hobbies are there because we have chosen them, but the reality is more complex, it is a large system where there are many parameters whitch interact between each other.

Everyone has got a story, and this story identify us, it is what makes us special, but luck has a fundamental role in how we perceive and live our lifes.

The role of luck in our lifes.

Luck is something unpredictable, you will never know if you have been affected by it, until you see the results.

Also if we would have a great talent for the piano, but we have never had the possibility to play a piano in our entire life, we will never be successfull.

So we will never know if the path that we have taken, it’s really the path that we are made for.

We can not change this, but we could prevent or at least reduce the possibility of doing the wrong decisions.

Last month I went to a nutritionist because I wanted to start a diet to to complement training, the nutritionist suggested me to do the test of dna for having a greater view of my entire condition and act accordingly

I was very courious becuase I’ve always been interested about genetics, biology etc.. And I think that knowing what are your predispositions will help you a lot to understand better yourself.

The session to the nutritionist after I had taken the test was one of the most interesting hours of my life, seeing someone else explaining and analizing with data your dna it was very fascinating.

It’s incredible how much our DNA describe us, I find it very fascinating, I’m the only one, in this entire world of having this exact configuration.

This is why everyone needs a different path to succeed, this should be our final goal to find it, there are no shortcuts or paths that could be used for everyone.

You have to be aware of your weaknesses and your potentials, because to win in life your have to turn the odds in your favour.

More you know about yourself: how you act under stress, when you tend to be anxious or hangry, where and when you tend to work better and more.

Every aspect more that you know about you, it’s helpfull to put you in a position to be successfull.

How can you know your potential?

Let’s say you know what are your weaknesses, but how could I know what are my strenghts?.

The short answer is experimenting, trying more things you can, being curious.

The biggest signal you should listen it’s when you enjoy something that the majority of people hate.

If you are not sure about whitch of a set of passions could be the winner one, try to carry on both and see whitch one of the two will get the major results.

conclusion

I don’t think that the only way to succed in a field it’s playing in advantage, surely talent it’s essential for succed but there are other factors that I believe also more important, like the consistency, curiosity and the obsession.

But however this is not a fair world where everyone doing the exact same thing get the same results, this is why luck play a fundamental role.

how to turn luck in your favour

As said before luck is something that you can not predict, the only thing that you can do is increasing that changes of that happening.

You can do this becoming a better decision maker, increasing you knowledge, making network around your field or using tool like the barbel effect whitch I’ve explained in another article that you can find here.

As said before life it’s a complex system with a lot of factors interacting with it, if you want to be luckier than enyone else you have to be faster than anyone else.

You need to be aware of what’s going on, and act on time when it’s the right momen.

For a trader luck it’s crucial, but there is another factor also more important, and that it’s the timing.

You may be smarter, curious, lucky and talented, what it’s missing then it’s timing.

To have the right timing you have to learn how to take the right decisions for this specific period of time, you need to be aware of what may work and what may now.

What you must know is that the majority of people are wrong, to have timing you must think with your own mind, something that it’s everytime more difficult.

Like the bitcoin in the 2009, only a minorance of people have bought it at that time, and those were timed just right.

This is what I think about how to turn the odds in your favor.

What do you think? I’m very curious to know it.
