Understanding Luck from a Science View

Hi gorgeous friend, 

If you are in the United States you may know that March 17th is St. Patrick's Day. This day is all about Shamrocks, the color green, and inviting in the “Luck of the Irish.”

Luck has always been an interesting concept to me because for most of my life I had a belief that I was unlucky. 

What’s funny (maybe not so funny!) is that when I had this belief my life mirrored back to me a lot of “proof” that I was indeed, very unlucky. 

But was I really?

When I became a science-based researcher I discovered there is much more to it than just being born lucky. 

You can actually cultivate it.  

For most people, the idea of luck sounds like something that happens by chance, like winning a prize or meeting someone special unexpectedly.

The truth is our belief around our luck or, the lack of it, actually has a huge impact on whether or not we experience luck.

This is why, for example, optimists have been scientifically proven to have more luck than pessimists do. 

Optimists tend to believe good things will happen so they stick with things longer and take more chances. This leads to more “lucky” experiences which strengthens their belief in their luckiness. 

So basically a lot of luck comes down to mindset and beliefs. 

I hope this makes sense and gives you some ideas on how you might be accidentally cultivating “unluckiness” in certain areas of your life. 

Next week we will discuss specific strategies you can use to increase your luck from a science-based perspective. 

I hope you are excited for that!

Do you believe you are lucky or unlucky? Send me a message and let me know how you identify and why. 

Speak soon, 

Steph
