Why are some people so lucky?

This is my personal opinion on the subject so in no ways i am saying that people are lucky because its in their genes or they are looked after by a higher power (i am not going to be specific on a religion here).

So what is luck?

Well this is quite a open question, the meaning being lucky to someone could be different to yours as an example: Joe Soap considers himself lucky because he has his health and he has a beautiful family, whereas Piet Pompies thinks hes lucky because he won the lotto and has just landed himself a high paying job on top of it! So it varies from person to person as you can imagine.

So how do unlucky people become lucky?

This is not really because you just dont have it in you to be lucky or that no one in your family has ever been lucky so it wont apply to you, but basically it all boils down to your attitude and i will explain why!

We all know of Richard Branson (ill use him as an example). Some people will say he has luck on his side but i say that its his positive attitude towards life and the things that he does. I say attitude because the successful people are full of life, always positive and real go getters. They dont get depressed or down because a new project is not going according to plan, they dont moan about their life or other people. They view every obstacle as a challenge. If they had been bogged down by bad circumstance or decisions do you think we would ever know who they were today...no.

No matter what position you are in, a positive outlook and attitude will get you far. Dont be scared to want a new car or house or boat if you believe you will get it then you will! I am not talking about the book the secret here (not sure if you have read it). This is changing your outlook, remember change starts with you, with the right attitude nothing is out of reach.

Being motivated is sometimes the hardest part that we all have. Keeping motivated all the time can be difficult but when something gets you down, weather it be work or home issues! Try your best to come up with a solution instead of compounding the problem, figure out a way around it or a new strategy. Lucky people create their luck by their thoughts and their actions.
