7
Secrets Lucky People Use
to Succeed.
"Luck-Making Habits that Pay Off"
The amount of good luck you receive in life is
directly related to how lucky you think you are.
The more you believe that good things routinely
come your way, the luckier you will behave, and the
more people will want to help you.
Think lucky, and your optimism will
automatically show on your face and in how you
carry yourself.
Believe you are lucky and you will feel
invincible - convinced that a force is protecting you
from the misfortunes others suffer.
Your optimism and self pride will soar and be
evident to everyone you meet. A lucky attitude
seductively draws people near and enlists them
in your cause.
To think and behave lucky, you must develop
a special set of habits that will become the basis
for everything you say and do. Every lucky person
I know lives by these essential habits that lay the
foundation for attracting good luck.
1) Don't
play the blame game . . . always
bury your grudges.
2) Mean what you say and avoid saying
anything mean.
3) Don't be a Know-it-All. Ask questions
instead of
making statements.
4) Appreciate what you have while seeking
what you don't have.
5) Dress the part. Looking lucky is about
neatness and being
well-groomed which
shows respect for
others.
6) Be patient. Look constantly for opportunities
and contacts.
Know when to coast for a
while.
7)
Fight off envy at all costs. It makes us bitter,
undercutting
our positive energy.
8) Relax - Tomorrow 's Another Day. Giving
problems time to work
themselves out
keeps you from being
stressed out. Always
view your problems as solvable."
- Marc Myers
