The Luck Factor

“Some people dream of a great life, while others wake up and start working hard at it.” Kevin Lawrence

The other day a friend said to me you’re lucky. You have a wonderful job, a great family and a good life. Over the years, lots of people have said the same thing to me. Now, I’m not complaining because by most standards, my life is good. I have a job I like, a successful business, a terrific husband and 3 beautiful children. But from my perspective, luck has little, if anything to do with it.

The world is full of limitless possibilities and anyone can have much of what they want. Life, however, requires you to work for it. Your success in life boils down to the type of person you are: whether you are a thinker or a doer.

The difference between the two is obvious and so are the results. The people who are most successful in their life are those that think and plan 10% of the time, and spend 90% of their time implementing the ideas and creating results. In the time that someone would have analyzed ten different options and looked at the pros and cons of each option, a doer would have implemented those ten ideas and would know for sure that works and would have the results (often in terms of profits) to show for their work. Meanwhile, the “thinker” is still pondering those ideas getting more stuck by the hour.

Ask yourself: (1) Where in my life do I think too much? (2) If I started to “do” in those areas, how would my life change?

Now start taking action. You will begin to notice a change in your life. The laws of the universe are all action oriented. Simply put: the more action you take the more successful you become so go for it if you are feeling lucky (smile).
