What is Luck? How To Be Lucky!

in #life7 years ago

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to have all the luck, and others just keep on having bad luck?

It's definitely not just co-incidence, as the same people always seem to have either good luck or bad luck.. I mean not 100% of the time of course, but without a doubt I know this to be true!

What is going on!?
Well first we have to understand what luck is.
Then once we can really do that, we can then turn that knowledge inwards
And believe me that this can work!

SO, what is luck?
Luck is the result of a myriad of visible and invisible signals that we put out to the world. These signals include the words we use, the thoughts we have, the body language we display, the friends we have.. and so on.. Whilst we can say that someone is lucky, I prefer to say that they have made their own luck.. There is so much going on that is so subtle or even invisible, that we can't really understand it all.

What we CAN do is to observe ourselves. our feelings and our mental chatter. Are you talking yourself down in your own mind before you even had a chance to succeed ? DId you even think that this thinking actually affects your luck!?

I would like to try an experiment with you right now if you are willing!
Anyone who is up for a little fun.. Find two dice and do the following:

  1. Think of something/anything that makes you smile nicely for 10 seconds . Then say to yourself the words
    " i am lucky and i love rolling high numbers" 10 times to yourself and then roll two dice.
    Record the total and note it down.

NEXT!

  1. Think of someone or something that makes you angry or sad (Sorry!) for 10 seconds..
    Then say to yourself "I feel like a loser today and nothing is going my way. . Force a frown and roll the dice 10 times and note that total down.

Finally PLEASE comment the two totals and lets see how we do!!!
I'll be very interested to see what we get! I'll post my results after you ;-)
Enjoy!

Sort:  

I had a friend who also used that saying, 'you make your own luck' , It always made sense to me. but he seemed to lack that will. He was very unlucky. The tricky thing for me is knowing, when, what seems like bad luck, might actually be your good fortune.

well THAT is true also.. in fact thats how i found Karuna Farm was only due to incredible bad luck!!
so maybe there is no bad luck in a way.
but
in the immediate sense we can say there is

anyways.. enough of the words.. upvote me already.. show me the money!
lol

are you going to roll some dice then for my experiment? No one else has done it except artedellavita but they didnt even do it right ;-( my experiment will fail! ;-(

7 and 3
Oh the power of energy and mindset!

that was quick! nice!!!! good start

I was putting away the monopoly board and the dice were handy lol

Nice, that WAS lucky ;-)

9-5

hopefully more steemians will join this interesting experiment :)

the question is, am i am lucky if i get high numbers or if I get lower ones?

... probably dependent on the perspective we have :)

haha.. well now we are getting deeeep.. but in this example you are lucky getting high numbers as that was the idea...
