Have you encountered someone or a couple of people who seem consistently lucky? You can have that too and have more winning days than bad ones. After all, there’s a quote that says, “you make your own luck.”
Good luck is a mixture of factors, including the right attitude, opportunities, and hard work, among others. Navigating life without it can be challenging. This article explores steps you can take to increase your luck in life. Let’s go!
#1 Fail More
This may not be the first thing on your mind, but it means you’re trying. For example, Jamie Gold is considered one of the luckiest poker players ever, thanks to a $12 million win at the 2006 WSOP Main Event. He made multiple unconventional plays throughout the tournament and could have failed many times, but he stuck with it.
Nobody wants to fail, but it can be a stroke of luck, because you’ll learn one more way not to execute a task.
#2 Expect Good Things
Moping around and cursing your luck gives off a negative vibe that puts your luck in jeopardy. Quit the attitude and pessimism, and focus more on being positive and expecting good things to happen to you.
Many people feel that a pessimistic attitude generally repels opportunity. You’re best served having a mind ready to attract good things and recognize opportunities as soon as they show up.
#3 Evaluate Your Choices
Humans are generally a product of the choices they make. When you make a move and it turns out bad, it’s time to examine what went wrong because luck is often a reflection of the choices we make. Even the smallest choices can define who we are, including our circle of friends, the environment, and how we spend our time.
The choices you make can lead you to big possibilities, a.k.a. luck.
#4 Invest in Tomorrow
Tomorrow is never far off, and investing in it is a must. Whether in business or your lifestyle, you can make the right calls today for a better tomorrow. Sometimes, your investment is the work you put in by working hard, sustaining a thriving network, and using your money wisely.
Stay focused on the present, building a disciplined and unapologetic resolve, enhancing your luck in the process.
#5 Be Prepared
Many people who complain of luck passed up on solid opportunities because they were unprepared. Don’t let that be you. Good luck occurs when there’s an opportunity and you are prepared enough.
Being prepared means having a combination of the skills, knowledge, experience, and the zeal to be at your best. What we call good luck is often preparedness and a sprinkle of risk.
Conclusion
Ready to encounter luck more frequently? These are some of the things you can do to improve your luck and fortune in life. Don’t be afraid to fail and expect the good things of life to come your way.
However, you must stay prepared because luck is cloaked in opportunities. Invest in your future and evaluate your choices as you keep moving forward.
