He is so lucky. She has the luck of the ages. Why so lucky? What good is luck if you are in no position to put it to good use? “If it weren’t for bad luck I’ld have no luck at all.” Are you lucky? How can you become lucky?
Seth Godin in his blog asked the question, “How willing is your organization to be lucky?” The same question can be posed to the individual. How willing are you to be lucky? Do you put yourself in the position to receive luck?
Tough to catch a ball if my head is down looking at the ground. Tough to see a diamond in the rock if my head is in the clouds. Be present. Now. Here. This moment. In this way we can increase our luck. We can see what is coming our way. We can listen to that inspirational voice that whispers in our ears. We can kiss Lady Luck on the lips when she is right in front of us.
Be open to the possibilities. Some of the funnest and most rewarding work I have ever done was because I took a chance in a conversation, or because I walked down a different street one morning. Luck does not just happen. We are either listening or not. Some of my greatest blunders were because I ignored lady luck whispering to me.
What might happen if I created more opportunity in my life? I might get lucky!
