Understanding the Notion of Good Luck

It is said that lucky things always happen to lucky people. Furthermore, it is said that you are either born lucky or you’re not; you either have the Luck of the Irish or you don’t; you either are blessed with the Luck Factor or you’re crippled with the hoodoo of bad luck. Good luck, therefore, is either a part of who you are or simply “apart” from who you are, and there is nothing you can do about it.

This perception of luck was obviously formulated by those riddled with what they would call “bad luck”, and is therefore not a result of anything that we can consciously control. Or is it?

Even though attracting Luck into our lives is something that we cannot physically control, it is, however, something that we can indirectly influence and bring forth into our lives by cultivating certain and traits, developing a “Luck Attracting” mindset, and by taking specific actions that enable us to attract the opportunities into our lives that are naturally labeled as being “Lucky”.

Luck is therefore not a result of seemingly fortunate occurrences that make no sense. It actually results from a series of seemingly unrelated coincidences that have culminated together as a result of the traits we cultivate, the mindset we project and the actions we take on a daily basis.

Even though attracting good luck into our lives is something that we cannot physically control, it is, however, something that we can indirectly influence and bring forth into our lives by cultivating certain traits that will help us develop a luck-attracting mindset — enabling us to attract the opportunities into our lives that are given to us by lady luck. 😉

Our daily actions either work for us or against us. When they work for us we naturally attract events and circumstances that are aligned with what we want most in life.

Sets Long-term Goals & Daily Objectives

Individuals who have the luck of the Irish understand that without setting goals and daily objectives that they would have very little focus and direction. Without this focus and direction, they would struggle to take advantage of the opportunities that would help them get what they want most in life.

Perseveres Consistently

In fact, the higher the chances of failure or of making mistakes, the more motivated they are to bring their goals and objectives to fruition.

Acts Upon Chance Encounters and Opportunities
