Arnold Palmer - The more I practice, the luckier I get

Welcome to the Daily Quote – I'm Andrew McGivern.Today's quote comes from Arnold Palmer, legendary golfer and seven-time major champion.He once said:"The more I practice, the luckier I get."Five words that destroy the myth of luck.People looked at Arnold Palmer and saw a lucky man. Lucky shots. Lucky breaks. Lucky wins.Palmer looked at the same results and saw something completely different: thousands of hours of practice.Here's the truth about luck: it's not random. It's preparation meeting opportunity.When you practice relentlessly, when you put in the hours nobody sees, when you refine your skills day after day – you're not getting luckier. You're getting better at recognizing opportunities and skilled enough to capitalize on them.That "lucky shot" that won the tournament? Palmer hit that exact shot ten thousand times on the practice range. When the pressure was on, his hands knew what to do.That "lucky break" in business? The entrepreneur who got it had been building skills and relationships for years. When opportunity knocked, they were ready.Most people see success and call it luck because they didn't see the practice. They see the tournament win but not the early morning sessions on the range. They see the deal close but not the years of learning the craft.Palmer's telling us: stop waiting to get lucky. Start practicing.
So here's the question: What goal are you calling impossible because you haven't gotten "lucky" yet?Stop waiting for luck. Start practicing. Because the more you practice, the luckier you're going to get.That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern – I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
