Are You Lucky ?

Ever wonder why some people seem to have all the luck and others just don't seem to have any luck at all?

I used to wonder the same thing...

especially when I was struggling in life!

It seemed everyone had it easier or had more luck then me...

I actually felt powerless in my life, as though I had no control to change my circumstances or my results.

Then I realized something that changed my life forever!

In my last e-mail I shared with you how I began to study successful people. In talking with these people about their success, they all shared with me they didn't believe luck had anything to do with their success.

Can you believe that? I thought they were all so lucky and they didn't even believe in luck!

Rather, each one of them said they made the decision to be successful and then they took the actions necessary to achieve thier goals...that's what made them successful.

I thought...yeah, but you haven't experienced the adversities and challenges I have!

But, many of them had. The stories of what they overcame to get where they are now were amazing!

Actually...it was totally inspiring.

They just didn't allow their circumstances to get in the way of their success.

No obstacle was too great, no amount of work to much, and nothing anyone said would deter them.

What they taught me was that successful people choose success.

This was a huge wake up call for me. I used to complain all the time about my circumstances, my job, my boss...I felt powerless, as though this was the hand that life had dealt me.

I used to say things like - "I'm just not lucky!", "If only I had some good luck".

Then I realized luck was an excuse I was using to justify why I wasn't living the life I wanted.

I didn't want to take responsibility for the results in my life...I wanted to blame everyone and everything else and, it was really easy to blame luck!

I came across a quote by Scott Leacock that really stuck with me:

"I'm a great believer in luck, and I find that the harder I work the more I have of it."

I'm glad I made the change in my life, because, quite frankly Sandy, I was tired of waiting for luck to work out for me.

And, life is a lot easier now than it used to be...that's for sure!

Once I got that I could create my own luck my life totally turned around! I attracted a great business and mentors and now live a life I am excited about.

And....the best part? Anyone can create their own luck. I'm living proof!

Best of luck (just kidding!)
