+## Description
 
-The amount of serendipity that will occur in your life, your Luck Surface Area, is directly proportional to the degree to which you do something you're passionate about combined with the total number of people to whom this is effectively communicated. It's a simple concept, but an extremely powerful one because what it implies is that you can directly control the amount of luck you receive. In other words, you make your own luck.

+The amount of serendipity that occurs in your life — your _Luck Surface Area_ — is directly proportional to how intensely you pursue something you’re passionate about, combined with how effectively you communicate it to others. It’s a simple concept, but an extremely powerful one. What it implies is that you can directly influence the amount of luck you experience. In other words, you can make your own luck. Luck increases when you consistently do meaningful work and share it with the right people. [source](https://www.codusoperandi.com/posts/increasing-your-luck-surface-area)
