You may have heard this often – lucky things happen to lucky people. Luck is usually considered to be something that happens randomly, not something that can be consciously controlled. Luck is an unexpected or accidental occurrence. Some people seem to be luckier than others. Perhaps it’s their positive outlook on life that brings good fortune their way.

In reality, luck is something that you create. It is the result of a certain set of traits, your mindset and the actions you take on a daily basis. It is a long game but offers a strong payoff. Lucky people expect good things to happen to them. They project magnetic energy that draws luck to them. Roman philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca wrote, “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.”
