Actively seek out good luck
Posted on March 9, 2009
If you think about it, we’re all lucky already. We’re living in relative comfort, with an abundance of fresh and healthy food, clean drinking water (so much of it, we even bathe in it), comfortable shelter. We don’t really have too much of a concern about being shot, starving, swept away in a flood, or abducted by pirates. Hell, we’ve even got internet access!
Life is pretty good, at least when compared to that a lot of people have.
So, how do we become even more lucky?
Simply believe that you are. Fake it until you make it. If you’re a lucky person, then you’re well situated to take advantage of potentially advantageous situations that come up around you. You’ll take the little risk required to get there. Focus on the fact that you are lucky, and you’ll be lucky. Good luck is finding $0.50 on the ground – but you don’t capitalise on that luck unless you make the effort to end over and pick it up.
Good luck happens all the time. The trick is noticing it, focussing your attention on it, actively seeking it out. Put yourself in situations where you’re going to be lucky (if you want to be lucky enough to win the lottery, at least buy a ticket…. and check the numbers!). Attempt things you can be lucky at. Enter competitions, you might just win (someone has to). Make the most of a bad traffic day by driving a different way, and take the chance of finding something new to do, somewhere else to have lunch (it might just turn out to be a lucky find).
Luck isn’t about what happens to you – it’s about how you react to what happens.
You’re so lucky already. The question is, do you act like it?
