“Don’t minimize the importance of luck in determining life’s course.”

Luck is ‘the right opportunity at the right time’ as WiseStep said.

There are many misconceptions about luck, and many think that chance is the only reason for success. Well, it is not! It can shorten your path to success and add more value to it, but it can’t be the only reason.

Hardworking and good planning are essential ingredients for success. As Abraham Lincoln said: “The harder I work, the luckier I get,” which proves how hardworking plays a significant role in attracting luck.

However, luck has a significant role in life, and it can change our lives radically for the better. For example, being in good health is a piece of luck. Some people can’t walk right now or drink water normally because of illness, accident, etc. Having a great family, friend, or partner is also a lucky thing, and the list goes on.

How To Apply:

Luck comes suddenly, but it often comes by hardworking and planning right for things. So, make sure to love what you do to do it the right way, and work hard toward your goals.

“The secret to happiness, of course, is not getting what you want; it is wanting what you get.”

You may have everything in hand, but never happy! If you’re not thankful for what you have, you’ll never enjoy it. Satisfaction and contentment are a blessing.

Contentment brings you peace of mind and positivity, and it promotes happiness by making you less obsessed with needs and focusing only on things you own. Being satisfied with what you have helps you be more mature and more stable in your ideas.

Because, instead of spending time blaming life and yourself for what you don’t have, you’ll spend time thanksgiving and working for clear goals. Contentment promotes simplicity, where you’ll be happy with little things in your life, making you more comfortable.

How To Apply:

Focus on those little and beautiful things you have and stop being obsessed with what you don’t have. One of ‘The Law Of Attraction’ rules is not to be obsessed with what you want, instead work on it and let it go, and it will come to you quickly.

“Don’t tell me what you believe in. I’ll observe how you behave and I will make my own determination.”

Imagine that you’re in the waiting room, and a beautiful girl is coming, with long thick and shiny hair, well dressed and with sexy facial structure. Her phone starts ringing ‘her mom’s calling her’ suddenly she starts yelling and insulting her mother with the worst words ever.

Then what’s your reaction, GUYS!

No matter how beautiful she looks, most of us will have negative feelings towards her. So, it’s briefly clear that behavior it’s what determines us, not our looks.

How To Apply:

Work hard on your behavior, not how you look. Nowadays, it’s easy to look beautiful and sexy with plastic surgeries, makeup, clothes, etc. but it’s hard to change your attitude. Treat people nicely; let your heart always full of goodwill.

“It’s very important in life to know when to shut up. You should not be afraid of silence.”

In some cases, silence is better than words! You don’t want to waste your time and energy with people that will never understand you. But in most cases, silence isn’t the way to deal with things.

You have to speak up and tell everyone how you think, what you feel, what you want, etc. Silence hurts you more than speaking, and it may lead to depression and anxiety in many cases.

Most important, you must distinguish when to speak and when to be silent.

How To Apply:

Don’t be afraid to raise your voice and speak up for yourself. Extract what’s in your mind to the outside, don’t forget being polite, truthful, and mean what you’re saying.

Have you ever met a successful person who wasn’t restless- who was satisfied with where he or she was in life? They want new challenges. They want to get up and go…and that’s one of the reasons they’re successful.

“My life is what it is, and I can’t change it. I can change the future, but I can’t do anything about the past.”

Don’t carry life’s worries and hassles. Focus on the moment, and work for the future. We all have sinned a lot throughout our lives. Most important that we have to learn from it.

We have to accept ourselves with all our sins, forgive what we’ve done, and ask for forgiveness. No matter how bad your sins are, you have to forget and forgive yourself and others.

The past is gone and will never back, and you have to convince yourself that there’s no magical stick to change your history with it! But you can change your future with straightforward changes in your present.

How To Apply:

We often have those negative thoughts, make us guilty about our sins and do the wrong thing. If they come to you, ask yourself one question, “And then what!” keep repeating it until you skip it. Work on your present, be happy and proud of yourself, and you’ll be better.

“I’m curious about everything — even things that don’t interest me.”

You don’t have to be interested in something to know it, you may not like politics, but it’s great to know it, psychology, health, etc. Seeking knowledge has never been related to any interest.

The more information and knowledge you have, the wiser you’ll be. One of the widespread knowledge resources is reading books, ‘HealthLine’ talked about the benefits of reading books:

• Strengthens the brain.
• Increases empathy.
• Builds vocabulary.
• Prevents cognitive decline.
• Reduces stress.
• Aids sleep.
• Alleviates depression.
• Lengthens lifespan.

How To Apply:

Don’t minimize your knowledge only around the things that interest you; try to look out for different conceptions. It will increase your awareness and help you be more cultivated in many subjects.

“I don’t gamble because winning a hundred dollars doesn’t give me great pleasure. But losing a hundred dollars pisses me off.”

Better ‘nothing’ than a step to the back. As Alex said, nothing adds value to anything if you’re going to lose as much as you win. And that applies to everything, not only money.

So, don’t gamble with anything, as long as you don’t have to.

How To Apply:

If life pushed you to gamble with something, it Okay! I hope you have good luck not to lose. But, if it’s not, then don’t hesitate to DO NOT GAMBLE!
