Why do some people get all the luck while others never get the breaks they deserve?

You may ask why some people are always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experience ill fortune.
I recently read about a psychologist’s research where it was discovered that our thoughts and behaviours are the causes of our good or bad fortune. Take the case of seemingly chance opportunities. Lucky people consistently encounter such opportunities, whereas unlucky people do not.

The research involved a sample of 2 types of volunteers. On one side, the subjects were consistently made to feel that they were lucky and the other, consistently made to feel that they were unlucky. He asked them to read a newspaper he published to look for a number of photographs. He did not tell them that he had secretly placed a message that said, “When you spot this, please tell the researcher and win US$50” somewhere on the newspaper – and this message was well placed in the front page with big fonts. The results showed that most of those who spotted the message were subjects who felt they were lucky. Almost no one from those who feel that they were always unlucky spotted the message.

People who consistently have negative attitudes are generally more tense than positive people, and this anxiety disrupts their ability to notice the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. The feeling-lucky ones make the best of what they have and find ways to make it better. The people who always feel unlucky tend to find an easy way out, and consequently fail in life.

Positive and feeling-lucky people are, in general, more open and relaxed. They would look at what is there rather than just what they are looking for. The researcher reveals that lucky people generally have the following attributes:
1) They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities;
2) They can make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition;
3) They consistently create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations; and
4) They adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

The researcher went further with the experiment by asking a group of people to perform these exercises for a month, and the result was 80% of those people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives and – perhaps most important of all – luckier.
These findings confirmed what the movie “The Secret” teaches, i.e., Thoughts Become Things. What you think and feel is very important for success. You can use feelings to control your thoughts.

The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect.
