Luck: Some people are born with buckets of it, while others just can’t get on its good side. The truth is that getting lucky is a combination of being at the right place at the right time, and making the most of the opportunities that come your way. It’s not a magic pill, but a recipe with several ingredients. And the more work you put in, chances are the luckier you’ll be.
In addition, your perception of how lucky you are depends on your outlook in life. If you always see the glass as half-empty, then feeling lucky would not come easy. Optimists, on the other hand, will be able to see the silver lining in the most unlucky circumstances. Indeed, luck is what you make of it.
Even if you’re already the luckiest person on earth, you’ll agree that it wouldn’t hurt to add extra luck into your life! Here are some ways to do so.

Always go back to the previous item: Remember, you’re luckier than you think!
3. Remember the golden rule.
‘Do unto others what you want others to do unto you.’ Treat others with kindness and take every opportunity to spread joy and happiness, and you’ll find your good karma (and your good luck) increasing.

6. Work harder.
Your journey through life can be compared to a stroll along a corridor lined with doors, wherein you have the option to choose which ones you’d like to unlock and step through.
