The following is an excerpt from an article, about lucky people and what they do differently.

I think that one of important characteristics lucky people have is gratitude for that what they already have. With such attitude they are focus on themselves and they spend their energy on creating their life. It keeps them awake and alert and therefore creative and active, open to changes.Therefore they are more at ease and more open to all opportunities, and life bring us always more of that what we appreciate, as our energy is then focused in positive direction.
Unlucky people are stuck in the feeling of misery and their daily companion is looking more on others than on themselves. Instead to create their life they compare themselves with others and always see that somebody else have more, better... With such attitude their energy is focused on envy and loses creativity and personal initiative to create life they would like to have. They have less connection with their inner and therefore less faith in life.

Haha, awesome! Just proves I'm right about mental blocks :P

I'm always fascinated when I realize that my biggest enemy can only be me, but even more fascinating is when I see that others are so blind to this. After all, when people tell me life's unfair and I have to get used to it, only I can make the decision to believe them. Why is it that it's the most dangerous beliefs that get rooted deep in my mind and why is it so hard to get rid of them?

I think the Professor was being disingenuous in conducting an experiment around whether people deemed themselves to be 'lucky' or 'unlucky'.

Those personal descriptions are indicative of a mindset, maybe a lazy way to cover our own shortcomings or ignore a trait we dont fully understand within us.

Somebody who feels closed, fearful, or limited will listen to 'the man' and do what he says...ie they take their entire direction from outside of themselves...to me this seems like they are acting out of fear, a fear that they dont challenge.

When we challenge the negatives that living a life inevitably brings and discover who we really are we dont accept limitations as much, and so our tunnel vision is replaced with a wider focus and we get to see more of whats on offer.

We stop using tags like 'lucky' or 'unlucky' and take responsibility for our own lives ...then we find the answers more easily just like the people who saw the paragraph that enabled them to stop counting and save time and energy.

Who was it who said......"the harder i practise the luckier i get".
