Luck Is What You Make It !!!!

Hi,

"Luck? I don`t know anything about luck. I`ve never banked on it, and I`m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work -- and realizing what is opportunity and what isn`t." --Lucille Ball

Did you achieve what you have today as a result of luck? According to Forbes Magazine, in a poll of the 400 richest people in the world, none of them believed luck was responsible in their acquiring their wealth though a small percentage believed it was a minor factor.

I suppose you could win the lottery and that`s incredibly lucky. Maybe you`ve received an inheritance from a wealthy relative who you didn`t know. That would be lucky. Odds are, however, that if you`re a student of mine you have worked incredibly diligently to get to where you are. You`ve put intention, energy and thought into your place in life.

I believe in the power of attracting what you what, however and in that respect, I believe I am lucky. My accomplishments in life are by no means a result of luck alone but as a result of giving my lucky side attention, I have noticed an increase. It`s like anything else, the more we flex a muscle, the more we give power to something, the more of it we will receive.

After thousands of interviews and experiments, Richard Wiseman, head of the psychology department at the University of Hertfordshire in England, believes he has figured out what it is that makes some people lucky and other people not. It comes as no surprise to me that the same underlying theory behind the law of attraction comes into play with luck.

People who are lucky, at their very core, think and behave in ways that draw more luck and good fortune into their lives. This is exactly the same process behind people who consider themselves to be money magnets or freak magnets. Both are pulling, whether consciously or subconsciously, these elements into their lives.

Playwright Tennessee Williams said it best, "Luck is believing you`re lucky."

The bible says, as you sow, so shall you reap. In other words, your thoughts, feelings, intentions, deeds, and expectations, whether they be good or bad, will repay you in kind. Have you ever heard anyone say, "I`ve never won anything. I`m simply not lucky"? This will remain the case because this person has made this state of mind their expectation.

I find it interesting when I hear someone say, `I`m unlucky in love`. If only they knew. . . they`ll never be lucky in love if they continue to chant that mantra. If luck in love is what they want, they have to repeat to themselves that they are lucky from here on out.


If you`ve never considered yourself lucky, reorient your idea about yourself and start to draw that into your life instead of repelling it.

regards,
ashok..

Hi
There is also a very old quote that says - Luck is when preparation meet opportunity.
Does luck play any role in success or not, I do not know. The Meta Mind Law of Expectation also explains that expecting good things to happen and having an open mind to invite the same can provide huge amounts of luck. Yes, life will bring us opportunities - to some people more than the rest - ultimately it is those who are more prepared to recognize and grab them that succeed - be they less opportunities or large ones...
