15 Strange Reasons Some People Always Get Lucky

Ever notice how some people seem to have all the luck? They land the dream job, find amazing partners, and always seem to be in the right place at the right time. Is it just chance, or something more? Here’s the inside scoop: “Lucky” people have habits that create their own good fortune. Let’s unravel their secrets and see how we can all get a little luckier in our own lives.

1. They sniff out opportunities everywhere they go.

Lucky people know how to focus on the potential for their lives to be amazing, instead of the challenges or problems they have to deal with. This keeps them upbeat and prevents them from missing out on all the fun that life has to offer. When they focus on opportunities, they find more of them!

3. They don’t see themselves as victims.

Linked to the previous point, they don’t see themselves as victims when bad things happen. They don’t feel targeted by life because they know everyone gets thrown to the ground by stressful circumstances. Instead, because they know that life gets rough for everyone, they pick themselves up and keep going.
