While life is often determined by dumb luck, these are the ways to tilt the odds of dumb luck in your favor.

Anyone who tells you they are doing it all perfectly is a liar.

There is no straight path from your seat today to where you are going. Don't try to draw that line. You will not just get it wrong, you'll miss big opportunities.

Get into something and see where it takes you. If you really seem to like it, get good at it.

It's one of the best qualities to have, the ability to reset after you've taken a hard hit. I've had the pleasure and privilege of seeing the human spirit in full flight in incredible ways.

You can be as insecure as you want in your life, but just promise me you'll leave that insecurity out of your work. Just know, you're good enough.

Anger robs creativity. Never go on stage mad.

Embrace your journey to your own potential. It wasn't until I stopped worrying about my own validation and finally refocused my energy on things I could actually change that I finally grew as a person and as a professional.

If what you want is different than what you have, then you need to change what you are doing.

At some point, you're going to find yourself on the bench and you're going to have two choices: you can sit and sulk and feel sorry for yourself, or you can accept what you cannot control and refocus your energy, preparing yourself for the next opportunity life brings you.

If you make your bed every morning you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride and it will encourage you to do another task and another and another. If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.

When you try hard at everything you do, even if it feels utterly foolish to do so, you're opening up future doors and possibilities that you might not be seeing in the moment.
