Lucky people build and maintain a strong “network of luck”
Chance encounters loom large in many a success story.
Wiseman found that lucky people exhibit higher levels of extroversion than unlucky people. These ‘social magnets’ meet, interact and keep in contact with a large number of people.
I’m naturally introverted, struggle with small talk and find spontaneous interactions challenging. This #luckschool lesson is tough – to strike up conversations with people I don’t know.
“Lucky people are open to new experiences in their lives”
Like the lucky people in Richard Wiseman’s research, I’m going to considerable heights to introduce variety in my own life.
As someone who struggles to go more than two rungs up a ladder today’s visit to @GoApe Blackburn was challenging.
It’s no exaggeration when I say, it was both a mentally and physically draining experience.
The staff at #GoApe were OUTSTANDING! They were patient, supportive, friendly and kind.
Let's see what happens as I learn to maximise my chance opportunities...

Whilst working on "listening to my intuition" I recalled Joseph Mazur's explanation of how drawing lots "was thought to be the fair way to settle a choice that could not be established by reason".
I'm inclined to think that every choice, whether guided by reason or by intuition, is a gamble of sorts.

⁉️What I’ve misunderstood about Lucky People …
Lucky people don’t believe they can control the outcome of every event, they simply don't let bad luck affect their expectations.
This little Everton fan won't let yesterday's result affect his expectations. He'll walk to the next game with high hopes for an Everton victory.

It’s astonishingly lucky that we exist at all!
From the explosive birth of the cosmos in the Big Bang to the formation of galaxies, stars, planets, and life on Earth, the story of the universe is a testament to the awe-inspiring power of randomness and chance.

I suspect my “medium” luck rating for “listening to lucky hunches” was skewed by my efforts to meditate and introverted need for solitude.
Frankly, I’m rubbish at trusting my gut!
I’m more inclined toward data, facts and evidence-based decision making. Yes, it’s exhausting and yes it can lead to analysis paralysis.
I’m excited to learn how I can tune in to my intuition at #LuckSchool
