I like to think of luck and skill as flow and force respectively. Flow is being able to recognize when and where opportunities arise and maneuvering yourself there in time-space. Force is the actual mechanistic application of effort to actualize some experience. Generally speaking, if you have less of one you’ll need more of the other. But I think it’s valuable to consider force as roughly linear and flow as nonlinear. Because force is limited to how much you as a single individual can produce, and flow is the entirety of the world potentially on your side.
