Get Luckier!

Happy St. Pat’s Day! It’s that time of year when we celebrate the “luck of the Irish” and the magic of spring. What a great time to think about how to be luckier in life and create more of what you want.

Did you know there are things you can do to increase your odds for luck?

Being lucky starts with your state of mind. Research has found that people who think they are lucky tend to have more luck in their life. They have a lucky mindset and think about possibilities rather than problems. As a result, they are more open and receptive to luck.

Being prepared helps, too. A wise person once said, “Luck is where opportunity and preparedness meet.” Being ready for success when a door opens will empower you to step in and try something different.

If you want more luck in reaching your goals, here’s a way to have a 95% chance of success. According to researchers at BYU, the probability of achieving a goal if:
• You hear an idea is 10%
• You hear an idea and set a deadline to reach it, odds go to 40%
• You hear an idea, set a deadline and outline a plan, you have a 50% chance for success
• You do all of the above plus commit to someone else that you will accomplish your goal, your probability for success increases to 65%
• You do the above and set a specific accountability appointment with the person you have committed to, your chance for success skyrockets to 95%!
