Luck has surface area.
The more you try, speak, build, share, prep, review, think, work... the larger the surface luck has to collide with.
Most people don’t succeed because they bat 100%.
They succeed because they take thousands of swings instead of dozens.
Then add the dedication to show up each day and work on prep and review... showing up every day long enough to improve the batting average/odds.
Luck isn’t static.
It compounds around action, repetition, and grit.
The so called market wizards almost all, 95%+ blew up, with multiple years of trial and error before they got lucky.
In that sense, compounding is the universe’s way of scaling luck.
Liftoff takes the most, enormous energy.
Escaping gravity takes continuous focused energy.
But once trajectory and escape velocity are achieved, compounding does much of the heavy lifting with risk systems in place.
The hardest part is surviving long enough to reach that phase. The light at the end of the tunnel, small and dim but there yet.
