We all know someone who is extremely lucky. Think of the luckiest person you know. You will find that person is usually happy, outgoing and upbeat. They know how to make the best of any situation. On the other hand think about someone you know who always seems to have bad luck. Do they complain and gripe all the time? The "Lucky" person is usually the one with the positive attitude. Compare these traits and see how many your personality.

It's just possible that your attitude can change your luck. We've all heard the saying, "When life deals you lemons, learn how to make lemonade." The person that turns an adverse situation into an advantages one is sometimes looked upon as being lucky, when it was actually their attitude that brought about the luck.

Here is a little exercise you can do to try and change your attitude and your luck. When you get up in the morning, think of luckiest thing that has happened to you in your life. Maybe it was meeting that special person in your life or that one time you were in the right place at the right time. Keep the thought of that event in the back of your mind. During the day, if things don't go exactly right, think back on your past good fortune and don't get discouraged.

There is no guarantee that this will immediately change your luck, but as Sheryl Crow sang in her song, "If it makes you happy it can't be that bad." Being happy is one of the traits of a lucky person.

Good Luck

Until next time, remember:
"Luck comes and goes...Knowledge stays forever."
