Lucky Formula

Check this out...an interesting article from BBC about luck.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/3335275.stm

Here are the four main tips on becoming "lucky" from this article:

" - Listen to your gut instincts - they are normally right

- Be open to new experiences and breaking your normal routine

- Spend a few moments each day remembering things that went well

- Visualise yourself being lucky before an important meeting or telephone call. Luck is very often a self-fulfilling prophecy"

Oddly (i.e. conveinently) enough, the professor that did this study is named Wiseman...hmmm...don't know how much this stuff really works, but it's worth a try I suppose. His main point is that "lucky people" are less anxious than "unlucky people" and so they see what is there (i.e. new opportunities and such) as opposed to what they're looking for - an interesting distinction.

Last thought...according to this article, christians should be some of the luckiest people of all - that is, IF we're following what Jesus says in Mt 6: 25-34.
