Today in the news, we are going to explore the principle of luck. Now you may have heard the phrase, you make your own luck and I certainly believe in showing up working hard and attempting to be exceptional at work. And I also subscribe there may be a small proportion of chance, timing, coincidence, and destiny, call it whatever you will. There are some people, who always seem to be on the right side of luck. We might think of them as being Jamey and lucky and fluky in some kind of strange way. You might be at a quote, a phrase such as Samuel Goldman quote. The harder I work, the luckier I get, but really being lucky is a system that anyone can apply to reap the rewards again and again, and based on my dozens and dozens of interviews with exceptional leaders, here are my five habits of these lucky people.   They show intent. The more tickets you buy a raffle, the more likely you are to win, right? People who think of themselves as lucky tend to put themselves out there more than most are willing to. They find some comfort in uncomfortableness and this means that they win more opportunities. Of course, they also lose a lot too, but you're less likely to hear about that. They practice taking risks and get better at working at what looks like a great gamble and overtime they spot the best value opportunities. Work the odds, make sure they are in their favour and go for it. Of course, constantly worrying about the negatives will stop and hold us back from getting those lucky breaks.   Paying it forward. The luckiest people I know aren't all sure business people, professional gamblers. They like succeeding in life and work and they want others to do the same too. They feel that they have been fortuitously; dealt with a winning hand and in turn, they share their knowledge. They become mentors and coaches and aid to other people. They have an attitude of gratitude. Lucky people hold an attitude of gratitude. They can regularly list out things that they are grateful for; they have trained their minds in themselves to notice where they have been fortunate and have started to believe that good luck follows them wherever they go. They say, thank you
