Are you Lucky or Unlucky?

When the rain stops when we step out without an umbrella,when there is green signal all at a row,
when we reach our office in just four minutes, where there is a meeting scheduled at another five minutes,when we do the presentation awesomely well, without the slightest preparation,
when we win a lottery, and become rich in a day and so many surprising things that happen without expectation is when we think we are lucky.

We go back to the start of the day thinking what made the day so much better.We also start thinking that the day was good because of the two teaspoon sugar that was put in the coffee or because of the pet cat blackie that crossed the way when we woke up.

We try to bring back the lady luck again with the sugar and by making blackie cross and alas everything goes crosswise.

There is the rain, red signal, late to the office, presentation is screwed, and we even pay a fine. So the day is horrible bad and from being lucky 24 hours before  we suddenly become unlucky! What a paradox!

Well Being lucky is a skill one has to master in their life. Every person is born with equal quotient of luck and the way the person chooses to use it increases or decreases the luck count.

Its the action in pursuit of the goal,positive attitude, confident outlook, venturing to the unknown territory that  attracts what one thinks of the most.

George Bernard Shaw may have said it best: "The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and, if they can't find them, they make them."

We have to wake up the luck. And its the thought and optimism that acts as an alarm.

What is optimism? Dictionary.com says:

1.a disposition or tendency to look on the more favorable side of events or conditions and to expect the most favorable outcome.
2.the belief that good ultimately predominates over evil in the world.
3.the belief that goodness pervades reality.
4.the doctrine that the existing world is the best of all possible worlds.

This is what the people have been saying for centuries in the name of religion. It just talks about being positive and bringing luck.Being lucky and being a less lucky is in our head, in our thoughts

Even the things which may be considered in significant can pull luck and surround us with the positivity shield. Starting a day with a smile, greeting the security at the gate,looking at the flowers bloom in our garden,cooking our favorite meal will do wonders.

Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.-Allen Klein
