A pschycologist by the name Wiseman conducted more than ten years of research to find out says a mail I received some days back. After monitoring the lives of hundreds of men and women who considered themselves either consistently lucky or consistently unlucky, he came up with the following conclusions.
Unlucky people are generally more tense than lucky 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. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends.
Research revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four principles:
* They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities
* They make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition
* They create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations and
* They adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good
Here are Professor Wiseman's four top tips for becoming lucky:
* Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right
* Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine
* Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well
* Visualise yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call.
Luck is very often a self-fulfilling prophecy!
