What role does luck play in your life?

What is luck?

There are many definitions and ideas about luck, and they vary from person to person and culturally. Luck, also at times is referred to as being fortunate, or being on the receiving end of positive improbable events. However, there are those that argue that luck is also a mindset, or even an emotion, a feeling.

How can you feel lucky?

Let me rephrase the question.

How can you feel as though circumstances and situations will work in your favor?

While I agree that you might need to adopt a mindset that some might define as irrational optimism, you can go through life feeling lucky, irrespective of how many times luck does strike for you.

What’s the benefit of adopting such a mindset?

Great question. The shortest and best answer I have is that if you consider yourself to be lucky then you’ll attempt to do a greater variety of activities in your life. And while everything you attempt to do will not work out for you; your probability of success will increase.

You see, luck or good fortune rarely favors those that sit and wait for something to come along, or said differently, fortune favors the bold. And the bold aren’t known for sitting around and waiting for something to happen.

So, learn to adopt a mindset of feeling lucky. And while you might feel strange at first, stick with it. Go out into the world, pursue your dreams, and feel good fortune smiling on you. Or of course, there’s the other obvious option, stay put and do nothing. The choice is yours.
