“Luck of the Irish” – Do You Have It?
I love the quote: “The harder I work, the luckier I get.”
Do you believe in luck? Does luck play a part in our success – however we define success?
YES!
We all have luck in equal measures every day, so long as we take advantage of it when it comes our way. That is the only difference between lucky and unlucky people.
What is luck? I believe we create our own luck by having a laser like focus on the principles of L.U.C.K. which are:
L – Luminous Belief
U – Unbridled Learning
C – Cultivating Opportunity
K – Keen Action
Luminous Belief
We can all have the success we want – however we define it – if we want it enough, and if we believe with all our heart that we can and will achieve it. Our mind/brain is a muscle that can be trained towards achieving everything we desire in life. It just takes practice, a bit like working out at a gym. At first lifting a 10kg weight with one arm might be heavy, but with practice, it becomes easy.
It is the same with belief. At first, often it is hard to believe that all we want to achieve is possible, but over time, with a few successes under our belts, the mind muscle gets more used to it, and belief becomes natural and easy.
Luminous belief is critical to being lucky. Belief is the beginning of attracting luck.
Unbridled Learning
To be lucky we need to be prepared for it when it comes our way. We need to be constantly developing our knowledge and resources to support luck. If we leave school and believe that is the end of learning, then we are doomed. As Jim Rohn says: “Formal education will make you a living; self-education will earn you a fortune”.
What is it that you want from life? If it is that important to you, then keep on learning and developing our skills. Immerse yourself in the learning towards the achievement of your goals, and one day they will be achieved. Magic!
Cultivating Opportunity
To be lucky, we need to cultivate opportunities. That means we need to be growing our network, building relationships, seeking out new possibilities, and responding when new and unexpected opportunities come our way.
Opportunities and luck often appear in disguise. It is only when we are open to suggestion and have prepared for that fortuitous moment when we are presented with something new and different that luck beckons… even if it is not obvious in that moment.
Keen Action
To be lucky, we must take action. “Nothing comes from doing nothing” ~ William Shakespeare. When opportunities come our way, we must be prepared to do something; we need to work them. It is only in the toil that outcomes appear, and the magic of being lucky arrives.
