How lucky are you?
Luck-How lucky are you to get LUCK
whatever people are, what they do, they tend to luck for some answers in life.When someone fails to achieve something, there is always 'luck' to be blamed upon.They say destiny is already written and you can't change it.And there is a belief that only luck can bring great opportunities and success to an individual.Is it true?NO!. You are what you think and your actions will determine how many opportunities you get and how successful you become.What ever your future is, you can affect it by your actions today.
For many centuries people have recognized in the power of luck.And they have developed and done superstitions to help them achieve the elusive luck.
But getting luck is not that much difficult!.
Living a positive, charmed life is essential.Studies and surveys have shown that the persons that are presumed to be lucky tend to live with some basic principles-seizing every chance and opportunity, creating self-fulfilling prophecies through positive attitude and adopting a resilient attitude that turns around bad luck from their lives.There is a famous quote "I find that whenever i work hard,i tend to become lucky" this is very much true.Opportunities are made and they don't come to you all of a sudden.
Being open minded is also a way to get lucky.People who are open minded tend to spot more opportunities than other narrow minded persons.Narrow minded people tend to miss the opportunities since they are looking for something extra always.
There was an experiment made to find out why the Lucky persons got more opportunities and why the unlucky were simply unlucky.Both groups of people were given a news paper and asked to find out how many pictures were there in that paper.The lucky people were able to finish the task in seconds while the unlucky were taking minutes to do the same.Was it because it was true that lucky people are successful? Absolutely not.The news paper contained a big quote in the second page saying" Stop counting there are 42 pictures overall in this news paper".
The lucky people were open minded and were able to spot the line and finished the task sooner.The unlucky people were too busy looking and counting only the pictures.
The unlucky miss chances of opportunities because they're too busy looking for something else.Lucky people tend to look for what is there rather than what they are looking for.
Let me give you a small story that will give you the big picture of being "open minded".Imagine you own a orange farm.Each day your goal is to collect a basket of oranges.At first it won't matter where(which part of the farm) you tend to look for the oranges since the whole farm will have oranges.But gradually it will become harder to find oranges if you go looking in the same part of the farm every day.If you go to new parts of the farm, you are sure to get some oranges every time.You can compare the oranges to luck or opportunity.
Apart from thinking positively, being optimistic about things is very essential.Highly optimistic persons tend to be happy, be happy about their lives,keep their expectations high and increase the chances of leading a lucky life.
There is something called counter factual thinking.What it means that people tend to think about what might have happened rather than what has actually happened.
It is easy to explain with an example: an optimistic person , when he has won a bronze medal, thinks that he is fortunate that his performance was bad that he did not get even the bronze medal.But when a pessimistic person, even when he got a silver medal thinks whether he should have performed better to get the gold medal.
Lucky people always tend to be optimistic about things, content with what they have and Unlucky people tend to think about things that are out of their reach presently.It's the way people handle mis-fortunes that makes them Lucky or Unlucky
A man went to a car showroom to buy a car,he had no idea of which one to buy.He saw a car that looked good and he liked it too but he couldn't afford that.The man thought about the problems of debts if he should buy that car so he turned down the decision of buying it.A week later he returned to the same car show room, he bought a car that he liked,that which suited him and all these for a lesser price!.
So the last aspect of being lucky is to learn to be lucky.Change your thought and behavior to suit a Lucky person-expect good fortune, always be optimistic/positive, don't dwell on the negative thoughts and always see the big picture of life than regretting for minor faults in it.Your bad luck will definitely vanish!!.
