I'm a big advocate and believer in knowing that having the right mindset through life creates the opportunities that come before you. You create your life. While there's room to argue that we don't ask for terrible things to happen to us, and yet they can and do, this mindset is about seeing the world in a positive, optimistic way. Do you blame others that they are luckier than you? Do you see everyone else getting what they want and not you? Do you take full responsibility for your actions or find ways to point fingers and place blame?
Here's one of my favorite quotes from the book The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. If you've never read it, change that and find a copy of this book. It's well worth the read!
The (Complete) Formula For Getting Lucky:
Preparation (personal growth) + Attitude (belief/mindset) + Opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + Action (doing something about it) = LUCK
And one more great quote from the book:
"You cannot see what you don't look for, and you cannot look for what you don't believe in."
In keeping it short on this topic, let the above quotes sink in. Having the right mindset can take you right to your goals. And it's no coincidence the harder you work, the luckier you get. So keep that in mind next time you think someone "has on the luck." Maybe they are just working their butts off and being rewarded for it!
