Most
of us know lucky people, those who seem to lived a charmed life. They
may not even be all that smart, and yet they seem to almost stumble
into good situations. Opportunities open up for them, things are
"handed" to them. Perhaps they win in the stock market, find a dream
job, or get married to their ideal spouse.
Then there are the unlucky people. Maybe you know a few of these as
well. Some of them may even be very intelligent or well educated, and
yet they're unlucky in love, lose money on investments, miss
opportunities, and have unexpected bad things happen.
You might be somewhere between these two extremes. You have some good
luck, and you have your share of "bad luck" as well. But have you ever
tried to learn how to be one of the lucky people?
Generally there are two approaches to the idea of luck. Some think it
is a random or mysterious thing that we have no control over, while
others say it doesn't exist, that what we call luck is hard work, or a
lazy way to explain cause and effect. Yet we all see that some people
have easier successes, whether we call it luck or not. What both
approaches tend to miss is the obvious question: How can you become one
of these "lucky people?"
The answer to that starts with avoiding that mistake right there. Stop
arguing about definitions. It's more profitable to make good things
happen. Does it really matter if you earn the title of "lucky" even
though you feel that "luck" had nothing to do with it? The bottom line
is that good results are good results, whatever they are called.
One Thing Lucky People Do Differently
There are many things that lucky people do differently, and there is
even serious research that demonstrates this. It has been shown that
people who are identified as lucky smile more often, for example. And
among those who are superstitious (entirely unnecessary for luck), the
research shows lucky people have more positive beliefs, like crossing
the fingers, while those who avoid black cats and fear the number
thirteen have less luck. Read Full Article
