Thank you for sharing this awesome post. I look forward to future content.

That said, indeed one can help luck along through hard work. Two of the millionaires said, in effect, ‘the harder I work, the luckier I get.’ and I had a boss whose father used to tell him, “The universe rewards the brave.”

Those who take action, work hard, and are open to opportunities find luck. J.D. is spot on with his analysis.

Even your existance as a Human being is luck.Millions participate in a lottery but one get it (even though he might be a random pick), but to him it is “by the stroke of Luck”.

One might be lucky to have parents who could afford good education, but where as another one does not have parents at all, a orphan, may be dieing of hunger some where.

We should all thank god for how lucky we are and if possible help the others.

I also added Y for Yes.

If you are or consider yourself “Lucky” say Yes!

Great post!

Luck isn’t given; it’s created by doing.

Set an intention to do something. Make everyone aware. They can help you, just like you would help someone you know is doing something relevant (“Hey, I know this person who…”).

Don’t be afraid to fail. Failure is just finding out what doesn’t work. The opposite of success isn’t failure, it’s giving up.

Just do it. You don’t get opportunities by sitting around thinking about it. Choose the most important task towards getting to your goal and just start. Opportunities (ie. luck) will come your way.

Even at its early stage, my site Lifebeat is growing because I’m just doing it, not afraid to make mistakes. I can fix and tweak things later, but because I’m out there posting articles and leaving comments on other sites I’m gaining readers and opportunities. The more I do the more “luck” I can get.

There’s not better time to start than now. What are you waiting for? Just do it, and let luck enter your life.

Thanks for the awesome tips on creating your own luck. So true how it’s about doing, not thinking or hoping,

It is because of the role of randomness (luck) in our lives that we work so hard. The book JD writes about is essentially about taking actions to maximize your exposure to positive random events while minimizing your exposure to negative random events — something that you actually have to work extremely hard at in order to put yourself in position for success. Only in hindsight do events look inevitable — individuals and societies aren’t really any better at predicting than they’ve ever been. By understanding this fundamental randomness we all deal with and taking actions to put it to work for you, you actually put yourself in the best position to succeed and avoid disaster.

Good luck from me ,

When people say that they are considered lucky by their friends, I think it reflects what they remember and talk about it. The lucky person might forget to mention to their friends (because they probably forgot themselves) how they ran out of gas on the freeway the other day. If you see the good things in life and forget the bad, then those are the things you talk about and what people remember about you.

It seems like luck might be an area where perception and reality get blurred.

The only thing I would add is that you create your own consequences, both good and bad, so set yourself up for good consequences in the future. In a way this works something like karma- a good deed gets paid forward and comes back to you in the end. To some this is a sentimental statement but to me- this is the reality of my life, and in many ways the only way I’m even above water.

Great post.

Congrats on making the move to being an online infopreneur. I’m on the same path…

I would sum up your article with one word,
- Focus –

Focus on the things you want and desire to manifest. In my opinion, luck does not exist – there are no accidents or coincidences. All of us are a part of this cosmic soup that makes up the Universe. The soup that is always listening, watching and giving us exactly what we want.

Focus on what you want and it will be presented to you.

Best,

And in the long run, that makes all the difference.

For example, about 6 years ago I was working as a waitress. I hated my job, and every day I woke up and said to myself “I wish I had a job where my biggest complaint was that I had to get up in the morning.” A few weeks after this “mantra” started, I happened to be window shopping in my local downtown district, when I just happened to overhear a shop owner tell someone else “I wish someone would walk up to me and say ‘Merry, I want to work 4 days a week.’” Now normally I am NOT an outgoing person, but I walked out of the store I was in, right up to Merry, and I said, “I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation, and Merry, I would really like to work 4 days a week!”

That job has led me to some amazing opportunities, and many people think I’m very “lucky” to have that job… but ultimately it was my own actions that got the job, not “luck”.

That part where you say “Don’t worry about things that are not under your control” is what luck is all about. So it does exist.
