There\u2019s an old saying that it\u2019s better to be lucky than good. I guess I mostly agree with that, but sometimes I find myself noticing that some people are \u201clucky\u201d more than their fair share of the time. So that got me to thinking \u2014 are some people genuinely luckier than others? Are they born blessed with some mysterious predisposition that regularly brings them good fortune?<\/p>\n
When good or favorable things repeatedly occur for some people, seemingly against the odds, we usually attribute it to good luck \u2014 and \u2014 when misfortune strikes us, we attribute it to bad luck. But maybe there\u2019s more to these happenings than just \u2018luck.\u201d<\/p>\n
If we buy into this luck theory, we\u2019re saying that our fortune, and misfortune, are caused by external factors that are beyond our control. But is that really true?
\nMaybe some people seem to have better luck because they believe in themselves, or they\u2019re always curious, or they work harder, or they have a clear purpose.<\/p>\n
Luck may be only an illusion. Some people believe that you can make your own luck. That\u2019s at least partially true. Instead of attributing everything to luck, good or bad, maybe we ought to explore taking steps to make things happen, not just rely on luck.
\nIf you look closely at \u201clucky\u201d people, you\u2019ll probably notice that most, if not all, of them work hard, are usually focused on a goal, they take action, they believe in themselves, they\u2019re curious, and probably don\u2019t believe that they were \u201cborn lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n
So I guess if you want to be luckier in life, maybe you should think about changing things \u2014 if you\u2019ve been doing what you\u2019ve been doing and the results are less than satisfactory, why not try a new strategy. It\u2019s been said that luck is when preparation meets opportunity\u2026.
