Stay Open to Opportunity

It’s surrounds us all. Do we really need to remind you of the “When life gives you lemons make lemonade” cliché?! When you start seeing the opportunity that is right in front of your eyes, you’ll instantly feel like a luckier person!  Feeling run-down and exhausted you have to wake up so early for work? Take a moment to appreciate the sunrise – you wouldn’t see it if you were still snoozing in bed!

Seize the Moment

Speaking of clichés, why do you think Carpe Diem is also such a popular saying?   Want to compliment your co-worker on a job well done, but not sure if you should reach out? I mean, why would she care what little old you have to say? Come on now – Go for it! She may just want to partner with you on the next big project!

Be Kind & Respectful to Everyone You Meet

That first impression will last, and you never know who will bring you an opportunity down the road!  If you are bitchy and terse with the receptionist in the waiting room and then find out she is actually the doctor’s wife (!) is that an example of you being unlucky? Or of you being a negative person?

Positivity breeds “luck”

Positive people have a magnetic pull to them – they pull goodness towards themselves, the same way negative people repel it.  Karma, ladies, karma.  The other day at Target a man cut in front of me to grab a shopping cart.  Of course I wanted to tell him to ‘F’ Off, but I took a deep breathe and smiled instead. He paused, turned around and gave me a shopping cart first — and then went back to get one for himself. If you put positive energy into the world chances are you will receive it in return – this may appear as luck but is really just a by-product of your good energy.

Stay In The Game

Have ever noticed how so many bands, actors and other artists seem to hit it big overnight?   It’s NOT true!  In fact, most people who become ‘instantly’ successful have actually been working hard for that break for years.  So no matter how big or small your goal may be, grab that positive attitude and DON’T GIVE UP.  Good things- aka luck- comes to those who ACTIVELY wait!

So, Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone – and take it from us, if you want to change your luck, try changing your outlook.  Who knows just how many crumpled up dollar bills you might find in the street? But, seriously, if it’s stuck in some really nasty looking NYC garbage, the luckiest (or wisest) thing to do may be to just keep walking!
