How to attract luck: 6 simple steps
Instead of waiting for a happy coincidence, take action.
Looking at some successful people, you might think that they were just lucky. And although luck does sometimes interfere in our lives, it never comes just like that. Tina Seelig, Ph.D. and author of the course on entrepreneurship and innovation at Stanford University, is confident that to attract good luck you need to work hard and learn deep self-analysis. And you can start with these steps.
Step 1
Rethink the concept of luck
Many people consider success as something uncontrollable, completely random. But a happy set of circumstances can be “tweaked”. The more action you take, the more likely it is that you will be lucky. It would seem to be a truism, but many are waiting for a cherished chance from fate, though, simply by changing the definition of “luck” in your head, you are more likely to attract it to your side.
Step 2
Do not forget to thank
We often do not appreciate what others are doing for us, taking it for granted. If you teach yourself to notice such things and express gratitude for them, your life will change.
Step 3
Risk
You will never achieve anything unless you try. Look at famous athletes and think: did they find themselves where they are now, thanks to blind luck? Of course not. At first, they all took the risk of picking up a tennis racket or signing up for boxing. And this risk has paid off handsomely.
Do not be afraid to do something for the first time, to do something new. Go and say hello to the person you need, take a look at the cafe where you have not been before. Take a chance and you will see new opportunities.
Step 4
Unleash insane ideas
Get ready to experiment and implement crazy ideas, even if they seem impossible. Do not reject them immediately! Try telling them yes before you start listing the reasons why they are not realistic. Learn to accept the default.
Step 5
Develop perseverance and perseverance.
Although hard work and acquiring the skills necessary to make your dreams come true, persistence is the main component of luck. Remember how often you did not succeed in something the first time and you abandoned your undertaking? By learning from past mistakes and failures, you will move forward much faster. And luck will follow you on the heels.
Step 6
Look for a causal relationship
Each action entails consequences, no matter how insignificant it may seem. This applies to such global things as work or family relationships, and smaller ones, for example, with whom you spend time.
If you just live on autopilot, communicate with people who do not inspire you, and do work on which you do not develop, forget about luck. Always think about the causes and consequences of what is happening to you, and then you can reshape your life.
Many unconsciously limit themselves, sitting in a box that presses them. And read the stories about people living in interesting places and doing things they love, they ask: “How did they do it?” And the answer is obvious: they just did it.
So do you try? And may good luck be with you!
