You can "improve their luck"

Just do not try everything kontrolirovat

People have a deep psychological need to feel that the universe is controllable, or at least predictable. As a species, we convince ourselves that we can influence the random events, psychologists call this "illusion of control". The good news is that, in a sense, you can "improve your luckĀ».

For starters, forget about the impact on the outcome of a truly random events, such as throwing a coin or a lottery. You should also avoid trying to create their own luck by focusing on the results that you desire. Research psychologists Gabriele Oettingen and Doris Mayer show that the more a person fantasizes about getting a good job, the less money he earns as a result, possibly because the fantasy replaces the effort that he could use in the real world.

"Luck" - an ambiguous term. We use it to describe the pure randomness of life, but also to explain the appearance of the opportunities that are necessary at some point. Open yourself to new people and events, and you will have a much better chance to meet your future employer - or the love of life - than if you stay at home. The best approach - no point focusing on what you want, and development of a radical openness to experience unplanned, weakening control over the achievement of targets and the uncertainty.

Uncertainty makes us feel uncomfortable, so the temptation is to do everything we can to get rid of it. But patience can bring you more luck. Do not dispose of your daily schedule, but make sure there is a gap in it for unexpected things. Spend an hour in the bookstore, invite casual friend for coffee. In social networks subscribe to people whose enthusiasm is not shared. Leave extra time for assignments, for which performance may require spontaneous detours.
