Luck Follows Action

Greetings:

The luckiest people seem to be the ones who are out doing things. Action is the best way I know to create more luck in one's life. The more we are out in the world the more opportunities we create for luck to happen. We need to throw ourselves in the path of luck. If we are out looking for good things to happen to us, my guess is they will.

Some people think that luck is simply chance. There actually is a big difference between luck and change. According to Richard Wiseman, author of the "The Luck Factor: Changing Your Luck, Changing Your Life: The Four Essential Principles" (Miramax, 2003) there's a big distinction. "Chance events are like winning the lottery. They're events over which we have no control, other than buying a ticket. They don't consistently happen to the same person. They may be formative events in people's lives, but they're not frequent. When people say that they consistently experience good fortune, I think that, by definition, it has to be because of something they are doing."

If you want to increase your luck you have to increase your activity. The more you do, the more opportunity luck has to come your way. And remember to stay aware. The luckiest people are the ones who recognize a lucky opportunity when they see one, even if it is disguised as a problem.

Lucky people are the ones who are out and about creating their own luck. Staying home watching television isn't the best way to find luck. Luck happens when you are out creating it. The luckiest things happen to those who put themselves in the path of luck. Luck is by choice, not by chance. The more you are willing to do to create your own luck, the more luck you will have.

Here's to being lucky,
