Welcome to the new issue of 'The Inner Powers'.

This week's article is about luck. What is luck? Why does it appear more often in some people's life and not in others? Is it an outside power, independent of you, or does it appear because of things you do? Read the article below to find out what Karla Brandau says about luck.

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
Orison Swett Marden

There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.
Wayne Dyer

There are no hopeless situations, only people who are hopeless about them.
Dinah Shore

By Karla Brandau

When I complained about my lack of luck to a friend of mine, she quoted Thomas Jefferson, 3rd president of the United States, who said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."

It is easy to be scared of real work. Thomas Edison, American inventor said, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."

Do you believe success is a matter of luck? Does opportunity or luck elude you? Do you believe famous people are just "lucky" because opportunity has found them?

What about comedian Tim Allen? During one week in 1994 he had the number one TV show: Home Improvement, the number one book on the bestseller list, Don't Stand Too Close to a Naked Man, and a number one film, The Santa Clause. The following year, he provided the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the blockbuster movie, Toy Story.

That sounds like a lot of luck but actually Tim Allen worked hard against enormous odds to achieve this prominence. Have you heard his story?

He was born in 1953 in Colorado and was one of six siblings. At the age of 11, his father was tragically killed by a drunk driver, leaving his life empty and his soul filled with bitterness about the cruel world he lived in. He found that humor hid his pain and in the process of being funny, discovered that he had a gift for entertainment. When humor was not enough to assuage the loss, he engaged in self-destructive drinking and drugs. In 1978 he was arrested in the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International Airport for selling drugs and subsequently did 2 years in jail.

You can hear the footsteps of God when silence reigns in the mind.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba

Learn silence. With the quiet serenity of a meditative mind, listen, absorb, transcribe, and transform.
Pythagoras

In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness.
Mahatma Gandhi
