Luck? Check.

So I've been thinking a lot about the article on "lucky" people and how their viewpoint seems to continue making them lucky (see previous post: How to Make Your Own Luck).

I've been trying to figure out how much thoughts actually contribute to real life outcomes. It's kindof an interesting experiment; once you start believing -really believing- that good things will happen to you, they do happen. Sure, it may be chance. Those good things may have happened regardless of how you look at life. But it almost seems to be a snowball effect. The more you continue to think about the positive instead of negative aspect to life, it seems like more good things are happening to you, because you don't let the bad things get you down.

Of course bad things still happen; they happen to everyone no matter what. But if you stop dwelling on that, you have more of a chance to accept new opportunities. You will also find you'll start to attract friends/acquaintances who think positively, too. This is great because who wants a friend who constantly whines about life? That just brings you both down.

So think positively! All you have to lose is negativity.
