I don't believe luck. I do believe in synchronicity. Luck is something that happens to us. Synchronicity is something that begins in our consciousness. Risk is something we undertake.
Luck is passive.
We trigger synchronicity. We trigger it through risk. Artists, in fact all creative people, are afraid of risk. Often these sentiments are echoed by those closest to us. Always, remember that well-meaning friends and family may not be the best judge of your work or your talent.
