Having “good luck” is one of the most sought after characteristics in the world. Entire industries thrive by peddling statues, pendants, charms, and other items that claim to increase the probability of being visited upon by good fortune in life, love, or career. Most consider “luck” to be something akin to magic, but often times people don’t really see how much of it actually can be attributed to something under one’s control.
One thing lucky people usually do is take risks – huge risks. Although taking chances may end up in disappointment, the biggest rewards often come after a crazy idea hits it big. It’s a game of numbers; the more chances you take, the higher the possibility that one of them is going to be a success – and people will remember your success more than the ten failures that came before it. Another common characteristic amongst the lucky is the willingness to make great sacrifices in order to achieve a goal. It may be fun to head out on an out of town trip with friends, or lay around lazily in bed watching Netflix or oversleeping – but doing so takes valuable time out of your schedule, time that could have been used doing something productive instead. Spending more of your hours focusing on and working towards finding success increases your chances of making the breakthrough that people will mistakenly assign to “luck”. Also, knowing how to be consistent is important for anybody looking to develop an idea or endeavor into something great. While success may appear to have happened overnight, it is actually never the case. It is the combination of daily actions, decisions, and sacrifices over a long period of time that eventually leads to victory, and it is especially true in the business world. If you find something that works for you – keep on doing it. Be relentless – and the rewards will soon follow.
The most common fact that unites the “lucky ones”, though, is one that many people are afraid to face. They all fail many, many more times than they succeed. There is no better teacher than experience, and failures are the best experiences when it comes to learning. It might seem natural to avoid a path where setbacks are imminent – but doing so will only delay your own success. Consider moments of failure as necessary for your own personal growth and try to analyze and learn as much as you can from every failure. Besides, according to Paloma Cantero-Gomez in her Forbes Article “The Top 7 Steps To Overcome A Moment Of Failure”, failure is “sooner or later unavoidable”. Be prepared for it, then pick yourself up and strive to improve each time you fall and, eventually, “good fortune” will find you!
