There's no such thing as a "lucky person." We're ALL lucky!
I'm reading Marc Myers' How to Make Luck Happen, and I was hooked on the first page! He dispels myths about luck, and shares 7 secrets to making luck happen. I've only read the myths, and will write about his 7 secrets as I discover them.
Myers states that we all have good and bad in our lives, and lucky people simply focus on the good. This creates more good, which improves their mood and supports their beliefs about themselves, that they're lucky and happy and positive. It's an upward spiral.
It can also be a downward spiral. If you think you're unlucky, all you'll focus on is the bad things in your life. Then more bad things will happen, and you'll feel even more unlucky. Then you'll be glum and passive, without the energy to strive towards your goals.
I think this book will be the start of a whole new perspective for me! I'm a lucky person, and I like my life (okay, now send me good stuff like contracts from publishers and acceptances from magazines).
Myers' statements about luck are the same as The Secret and the Law of Attraction, but his book resonates more with me, probably because his ideas seem more applicable. I love the law of attraction, but I'm a practical person who needs specific, concrete ways to achieve my goals. I think this book may help me with that....
Here's all 7 of my Law of Attraction articles, in case you need a refresher (or would like to read them for the first time)!
