How is this a blessing in disguise?

expectation of receiving anything in return.

The Luck Factor 17
Intuition + Meditation + Intention

use of their intuitive abilities to help guide them in
the right direction.

and smarter as they move
towards the attainment of
their goals and objectives.

The Luck Factor 19
Set Long-term Goals + Daily Objectives

The luckiest people in the world understand that
they must always have long-term goals and daily
objectives that they are working towards. They
realize that these are critical elements that help to
improve their focus and levels of concentration,
which are critical factors that help them spot and
take advantage of opportunities that come their
way throughout the day.
Persevere Amidst Adversity

The luckiest people in the world tend to persevere despite the odds that
are stacked up against them. In fact, the higher the chances of failure or
of making mistakes, the more motivated they are to bring their goals and
objectives to fruition. Hence they cultivate a “never quit, never die”
attitude that pushes them forward towards their desired outcomes.

The Luck Factor 20
Take Full Responsibility

The luckiest people in the world take full responsibility for their thoughts, decisions and actions — acknowledging that
the results they achieve are of their own making. As such, they tend not to make excuses or blame their misfortune on
other people. They realize that doing this would focus their mind towards what they don’t want, and this will
consequently distract them from what they do want, and as a result they will fail to identify the opportunities that are
necessary for them to achieve their personal goals and objectives.
Work Hard, Smart and Creatively

The luckiest people in the world tend to be hard
workers who aren’t afraid of getting their hands
dirty in order to get a job done. However, they fully
understand that it’s not how much time they put
into something, but rather how they work during
the time they have that matters in the end.
Furthermore, they realize that working harder and
smarter is sometimes not good enough. This is why
they constantly focus on improving their ability to
think creatively. In the end, fortunate things come
to those who are able to think outside the box.

The Luck Factor 21
Act Upon Chance Encounters

The luckiest people in the world understand that life is built upon
a time-frame of opportunities and chance encounters that must
be taken advantage of at a moment’s notice. As a result they are
usually the first ones to make that important telephone call; the
first to seal the deal, and the first to launch the next BIG thing!

order to obtain their own personal goals and
objectives.

The Luck Factor 22
Visualize What Want

The luckiest people in the world tend to visualize what they want in their mind before achieving it in the real world.
They believe that whatever they can conceptualize within their imagination, they can create in the physical world.
Visualization also enables them to prepare in advance for potential obstacles and problems that may arise along their
journey. This likewise improves their awareness and understanding of circumstances, which enhances their ability to
make more effective decisions.
Ask for What Want

The luckiest people in the world understand
that one of the most effective and efficient ways
to get what they want is to simply ASK for it.
Asking opens the floodgates of opportunity that

the ordinary person labels as nothing more than
chance LUCK!

The Luck Factor 23
Final Thoughts
I hope that this short eBook has served to inspire you to
think about luck in a new way. In fact, I actually hope that it
has challenged some assumptions you might have held
about what it takes to attract good fortune into your life.
In the end, when it boils down to it, luck isn’t about some
random event that tends to favor one person over another.
It’s rather all about a series of choices that you make on a
daily basis, that help you to cultivate the mindset, behaviors
and qualities that naturally inspire the right types of actions
that move you towards the opportunities that bring your
desires to fruition.
After all, it’s the choices you make, that seal your fate!
