My Dad made this simple for us (my brothers and I) when we were little. He always said, “People are not lucky. You put yourself in situations and make the right decisions in life to feel like you’re lucky.”

I know people too who have trapped themselves in this mindset. They’ll completely pass up opportunity because they think they aren’t lucky enough.

I agree that folks use “luck” as a big excuse for apathy and complacency. I also believe that those who choose to actively take charge of their life are, well…. more lucky. What I mean is that if you want to tip the odds of life in your favor, you have to try. I believe that wealth, peace, happiness, health, and all things positive tend to congregate where they are welcome. So, take charge, make a plan and pursue it. (What is the worst thing that can happen?) At the very least you reach your failures quicker, buying more time to learn from them, and make adjustments the next time around. All mega-achievers have failures along the line, what separates them from most is a combination of tenacity, and intentionality! So– Let’s Get Cracking!

Thanks Keith, I actually posted this because I just read another blog about lifestyle design where the author told his readers that some people are luckier than others. I also know some people who are missing out on life because they are stuck waiting for something magical to happen to them, rather than making it happen.

I agree that positive thinking and hard work are key! I’m not lucky my restaurant did well during the economic downturn…it was smart business decisions and actions. Great post to keep spreading the good word!
