Feeling Lucky? by Tara Hunt: “It turns out that there IS such thing as lucky people, but it’s not some sort of mystical fate playing its hand at work after all. Instead, ‘lucky people’ are those who are really observant and open to opportunities.” ¶

Hi Matt, the “Lucky people are more relaxed and open . . . ” ‘logic’ does not fit for me as an explanation for certain people being lucky . . .
If certain people were ‘lucky’ and some ‘mystical or even none mystical’ luck brought them things ‘easily’ . . . then what are the chances of them being stressed out, forcing or closed off as they go through life? One would suspect that people ‘gifted’ with lucky encounters would NOT force or push through life, because they’d have no need to be that way WOULD THEY? I’m amazed at the so called scientific presentations or conclusions that just are NOT thought out at all . . .

You should read The Luck Factor. It’s book outlining a scientific study into why some people are luckier than others. Great read…

Heres what I think about luck. Its a quote from my new book. The Mind and Self-Reflection.
“Good luck is seeing with awareness, bad luck is seeing without it.”
Great site by the way. Just started mine.

I love luck.
And I believe it comes with a great deal of pre-paving.

I like that… “pre-paving” brings on luck. Very cool!

it’s true. I simply don’t get how much it costs being a lucky person… in terms of time spent while open to new opportunities.
