4 Ways to Create Your Own Luck


Prepare Your Mind. If you want good things to happen to you, you have to get yourself in a good -- positive! -- state of mind. I've mentioned this countless times before but I'll write it again: if you'd not looking for good things in your life, you won't find them. How you view the world is all up to you, and luck is exactly the same way. If you're on the lookout for lucky things, you'll find them!


Give Chance a Chance. If you want to have good luck in your life, you have to put yourself out there. Staying home all the time and sticking only to your routines is a sure way to remain luck-less. You have to put yourself out there -- change things up a bit -- if you want to encounter all the good luck that's out there in the world. Switch up the way you do things -- or the things that you're doing -- and you may just catch a lucky break.

Relax. According to Dr. Wiseman, if you're stressed out or focused on the negative things in your life, you're not likely to notice the luck that may be coming your way. Hard as it might be to do sometimes, remember to relax and keep your life in perspective. Doing so will help keep your mind open to the positive, lucky things happening all around you. And going with the flow can lead you to exciting new opportunities, which are often the sources of good luck!

Build Your Network of Luck. Dr. Wiseman advises us to do two things: stay connected to the people we know and make new connections when we can. Why? Because the bigger your network is, the more opportunities you'll have to get lucky (and, no, I don't mean like that). Putting yourself out there and really making an effort to connect with others will open doors that otherwise would have remained closed. It takes effort to keep up connections, but the more work you do, the more luck you'll have!

There's a big distinction. Chance events are like winning the lottery. They're events over which we have no control, other than buying a ticket. They don't consistently happen to the same person. They may be formative events in people's lives, but they're not frequent. When people say that they consistently experience good fortune, I think that, by definition, it has to be because of something they are doing.
