What's Luck Got To Do With It?

Do you believe in the concept of luck? Is it just a matter of blind chance?

Why do some folks seem to have all the luck? Why does it seem, sometimes the luck goes to the most undeserving and uncaring self-serving people?

Maybe it's our karma or fate. Maybe we get what we deserve. Maybe we get what we expect.

Merriam-Webster's definition of luck:

1 a: a force that brings good fortune or adversity b: the events or circumstances that operate for or against an individual.

2. favoring chance:

Are there real elements of chance involved in luck? Absolutely. 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.

The words "a force that brings" and "events that operate" describe a tangible energy that is capable of controlling or influencing events.

But do you know you can take control of some of those events? You can control the force. You can "control" luck.

Controlling luck is a skill that requires the same type of effort needed to control other elements of your life. We all create our own luck by our personal beliefs and attitudes. We just need to develop the attitude of "If it's going to be, it's up to me."


It is possible to create your own luck by having the right attitude and allowing the good things in life to happen to you. Don't just wish things will come to you, make them come to you and other people will call you lucky. When people say " Oh my gosh, he is so lucky", they are seeing a person that has mastered the Law of the Universe and knows how to walk in that law, and knows how to put themselves in a position to attract all the luck and prosperity and positive things that are out there.

Many of the things you think you're having no influence over in your life are actually defined by the way you think. Lucky people expect good fortune. Lucky people are certain that the future will be bright. Over time, that expectation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because it helps lucky people persist in the face of failure and positively shapes their interactions with other people.

Lucky people employ various psychological techniques to cope with, and even thrive upon, the ill fortune that comes their way. For example, they spontaneously imagine how things could have been worse. They don't dwell on the ill fortune, and they take control of the situation. They have the same life events as the unlucky person, but they look at them entirely differently.

Unlucky people believe they are just "unlucky" and they dwell on their ill fortune. These different ways of thinking are both unconscious and automatic.

If you are one of the "unlucky" ones that just never seem to catch a break, my suggestion is to learn to change your unconscious way of thinking. Learn to control your luck. Develop the attitude of "If it's going to be, it's up to me."


Depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but it didn't work for the rabbit.

It will be generally found that men who are constantly lamenting their ill luck are only reaping the consequences of their own neglect, mismanagement and improvidence, or want of application. - Samuel Smiles

Luck is being ready for the chance. - J. Frank Dobie

I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting he responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see, and pursuing that vision. - Howard Shultz, Owner of Starbucks Coffee

How Many Lucky Breaks Did You Walk Past Today Without Seeing?

How Many Will You Find Tomorrow?

Say the word "success," and right away most people think of self-motivation and self-discipline. Without these qualities, lasting success is almost impossible, we're told.

But when it comes to winning and KEEPING success, there IS another factor, a factor that most experts reject or ignore.

That factor is luck.

There's sometimes a fine line dividing bad luck from good luck. A few seconds here, a step to the right or left there. A sudden phone call, a missed flight. One tiny event can change your life forever.

If you could learn to step across that dividing line and make yourself "naturally lucky," what would it mean to you? What changes could you see in your life now? More money? Of course. Greater happiness? Certainly. Respect? Satisfaction? Love? Yes, all those and more.

But The Unexpected...

No matter how hard you work, how faithfully you motivate yourself, unexpected stuff still happens.

For lucky people, that unexpected stuff works FOR them. But unlucky people usually manage to get the dirty end of the stick - again and again.
