FOUR WAYS TO BE LUCKY
I
The results of his work revealed that people aren't I
born lucky. Instead, fortunate people behave in a
way that creates good luck in their lives.
• They notice opportunities that happen
by chance more often than unlucky people.
They are also more open to meeting new
people and having new experiences.
• They tend to make good decisions by listening
to their intuition.
• They're optimists and are certain that the
future is going to be full of good luck. This
positive attitude often makes good things
happen.
• They're also good at coping with bad luck and
often cheer themselves up by imagining things
could be worse than they are.​
