Choose a career in which you're just happy to be there. Choose a lifestyle whose downsides you enjoy. Eg. Only someone who's fine killing puppies should become a vet. Everyone loves curing animals but very few can kill puppies.

This is perilously close to an argument for adverse selection though: "go where you'd count as a bad person". Become a vet if you're a sadist, become a soldier if you're a sadomasochist etc. Go to wall street if you enjoy defrauding people.

Oh yes, train the mind to be comfortable taking decisions under pressure and with risks, ideally in controlled environments where things *feel* much more risky than they actually are. Luck feels very risky when it happens. It's one of the reasons I ride on the racetrack.
