In the Matter of Luck

Getting Luckier II
Don’t dwell on ill fortune.
The problem with dwelling on ill fortune is that it easily leads to the development of a fatalistic attitude; the unconscious attitude of expecting the worse and resigning to fate, accepting predetermined future written in horoscopes and believing that regardless of your effort, what will happen will happen.
This leads to such people waiting for things to happen instead of making things happen. Always understand that things could have been a lot worse and be thankful.
Expect the best…
People who get good fortune have a knack for expecting the best at all times and even in the face of difficulty still expect a favourable outcome. This attitude makes them more persistent that most others and this leads to even more “lucky” outcomes for them.
Take Action…
A thousand good intentions is not as good as a single action taken.
There is the story of a man who bought a racehorse and put the horse in the barn with a sign that read; “The fastest horse in the world.” The owner never exercised the horse and never trained the horse.
Then one day, he entered the horse in a race, and the horse came bottom. The man quickly changed the sign to “The fastest world for the horse”. By not taking action and not doing what should be done, ill fortune is easily attracted.
Reject superstitions because they have a way of making you ignore improving yourself. For instance, a superstitious person drives a car and gets into an accident.. then goes to blame the car as “unlucky” instead of his own driving.
Lucky people don’t rely on superstitions, instead they focus on working smarter.As the saying goes.. “Luck Favours those who help themselves” To start getting luckier, start taking more action.
Pray…
Prayers somehow have the effect of presenting you with more favourable outcomes and lands you in more lucky positions than you can ever imagine possible. To start getting luckier, practice praying.
Create Opportunities…
Increase the chances of your getting lucky by creating opportunities for yourself. For instance, make sure you know what you want and let people around you know exactly what you want as well.
If you want a red car, let people around you know you what you want is red, then step back and watch things unfold.
Try new things. When you do the same thing over and over again, expect to get the same results you always got. Try something new, do something different and get a new set of results.
Listen To The Voice of Intuition…
It has probably happened to you more than once. You get a feeling about something and then you ignore it only to discover you could have hit gold by following that guy feeling.
The bad news is that most of our intuitive powers have been weakened by continuous disuse. The next time you get that gut feeling about something, take a closer look.
