“Specificially, pursuit of novelty creates “luck”, and curiosity is the emotional manifestation of novelty. If we’re more open to what attracts our attention, we’ll get a lot luckier.”
You don’t get to choose your epiphanies, aha moments, insights, realizations, revelations.
You don’t choose when, where, how, or why they happen.
Let that sink in…
“Luck never sent a few hundred emails, wrote an autoresponder, handled a contract negotiation, etc, but both people who do these things and people who don’t do these things attribute a good deal of their outcomes to it.”
-Patrick McKenzie
