Getting Lucky?

Sat Jun 5, 2021

Maybe you believe that you are simply unlucky. But really, that’s just another excuse. The difference between becoming fabulously wealthy, healthy, happy or broke, depressed and unhealthy is the choices that you make throughout life. Nothing else will make a difference.

Here’s the thing about luck: We’re all lucky. If you are on the right side of the dirt, have your health, add a little food in your cupboard, you are fortunate. Everyone has the opportunity to be “lucky” because beyond having the basics of health and sustenance, luck comes down to a series of choices. Luck surrounds us every day; we are continually having lucky things happen to us, whether we recognize it or not. I have not been any more lucky or unlucky than anyone else. The difference was when luck came my way, and I took advantage of it.

The complete formula of getting lucky:

Preparation (personal growth) + Attitude (Belief/mindset) + Opportunity (A Good thing coming your way) + Action (Doing something about it) = Luck

Preparation: By consistently improving and preparing yourself- your skills, knowledge, expertise relationships, and resources

Attitude: This is where luck evades most people. It is merely a matter of seeing the situation, conversation, and circumstances as lucky.

Opportunity: It is possible to make your luck, but luckily I’m talking about here is not planned for, or it comes faster or differently than expected. In this stage of formula, luck isn’t forced, it is a natural occurrence, and it often shows up seemingly of its own accord.

Action: This is where you come in. However, this luck is delivered to you from the universe, God, the lucky charms, or whomever or whatever you associate providing your fortune now it’s your job to act on it.

So no more whining about the cards you dealt, the great defeat you suffered, or any other circumstances. Countless people have more disadvantages and more significant difficulties than you, yet they are wealthier and more fulfilled. Luck is an equal opportunity distributor. So get going and get more productive, that will make you more successful.
