Much like skilled gardeners tend to produce lush gardens, skilled cultivators of luck tend to “randomly” accrue dense interpersonal networks.
People love to talk about what they’re interested in, and by extension love to talk to people who are genuinely curious about the things they’re interested in.
There’s really no way to know in advance whether someone will be fun to talk to, or helpful, or informative.
But the magic of this whole process is that I have no idea what form your luck will take.
My imagination couldn’t have conceived of how rich my life could get if I really started making my own luck.
