The secret to good fortune has nothing to do with being blessed and everything to do with learning to trust your instincts. Studies show that lucky people practice listening to their hunches by meditation or just regularly finding quiet places to think, according to Richard Wiseman, Ph.D., author of The Luck Factor: The Scientific Study of the Lucky Mind.
Wiseman's research revealed that lucky people generate their own good fortune via four basic principles.They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening totheir intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitudethat transforms bad luck into good. Personality tests revealed that unlucky people are generally much more tense and anxious than lucky people, and research has shown that anxiety disrupts people’s ability to notice the unexpected.
