Maybe you haven’t felt lucky in a long while. Just reading the current news can make you feel like no one is. But that’s not necessarily true. Think about when you heard someone say “People make their own luck” or “the harder I work, the luckier I get”. Those are real sentiments by real people and they can be really true.
So why are some people lucky? How does luck happen to come along? Can something cause luck to be pinpointed? What makes lucky people different from unlucky people? And where’s that darn rabbit foot anyway?
There was a book written years ago in which the author talked to a lot of people, those who considered themselves lucky and those who didn’t. He asked what had happened in their lives, and he kept a chronicle of their “lucky” situations. Then he looked at how they were different and decided on the following:
Luck is NOT random. Now folks, this is an earth shattering notion. But here’s how he explains it….it’s the result of what he called the spider web effect. People who build webs tend to be lucky. People who don’t build webs tend not to be lucky. Now suppose we call those webs ‘networks’. Can you see where… the more contacts you make in life … the more relationships you build … the fewer bridges you burn … the greater the universe of people who have strong positive feeling for you … the more people you reach out to help … the more likely you are to be lucky?
Well, I have to say I found this amazing. He proved what others had said “You make your own Luck”! And you know what is really amazing about that – anyone can do it! Just think about it, spend a little time cultivating friends, network with potential business partners, create online acquaintances….all areas in which you build your contacts. Do this on a regular basis and the LUCK will come. You won’t be able to stop it. It will just happen. Are you ready for it to happen to you?
