Finally Revealed!
The Luckiest Person in the World
by Gary Vurnum

Congratulations...it's...you!

"What? Yeah right!" I bet you're thinking.

Well...yes, you are...but only if you don't stop yourself before you even start.

OK. So maybe I should explain a little.

For a start, let me ask you a question.

"What is Luck?"

If you are like most people, you probably associate luck with someone else. I've met very few people who would call themselves lucky.

If you look at it a little more deeply, there are really two ways that we define luck:

1) The "Why not me?" factor
2) The "It will never happen to me" factor  

Let's look at each one in turn:

   

The "Why not me?" factor

=====================

  I, for example, could easily fall into this category if I needed an excuse. I could say that I am unlucky because I have a disabled son. I could complain about how lucky my sister-in-law is to have had three healthy children.

  But I don't...and I won't.

  Why?

  Because I am the lucky one.

  I have seen one family with three children that are as bad, if not worse, than my son. So aren't I the lucky one to have a 'normal' daughter as well as a disabled son?

  To those people who cannot have children...I am the lucky one to have had any at all.

  So you see whatever situation you are in, someone is always going to be better off than you...and someone is definitely going to be worse off than you.

  Just because someone has something that you haven't doesn't mean that they are luckier than you...it might just mean that perhaps what they have got isn't right for you anyway.

  I know for a fact that I wouldn't be writing this now if I was 'lucky' enough to have had two 'normal' children.

 

  The "It will never happen to me" factor

===============================

  This could also have been called the "In the right place at the right time" factor.

  We've all met them. Those people for whom everything just falls into place. You just know that whenever something could go either way for them...they are always going to 'fall on their feet'.

  My brother is a good example. He just wanders through life without a care in the world and guess what? - everything just lines up behind him.

  Why? Well there's a clue in the last paragraph - he's 'lucky' precisely because he doesn't worry about whether things will go right or not - he just does what is right for him.

  You see...luck is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Dwell too long on the 'fact' that you are never going to be happy, or the 'fact' that you will never have any money...and guess how lucky you will be when happiness and money comes your way?

  The reason why something will 'never happen' is because of your belief that it won't. And guess where luck takes its lead from?

  Belief.

 

Luck, whatever form it takes, only seems to 'work' for those people who are classed as 'lucky' by other people.

  So if you really think about it, we are all lucky in some form or another. It's just that the 'unlucky' people choose to focus on the negative aspects of their lives, rather than riding with the positives.

  That's why if you really let yourself...you could be the luckiest person in the world!

  To our Success !

 

Gary Vurnum has quit his full-time job to devote himself to his family and his self-development. His life turned around after the birth of his severely disabled son, and he now wants to share with others the tools he used to remain positive during the worst time of his life.

Developing a strong self belief and positive focus helps you create your own 'luck factor'. Read more here: The Science of Success

The Difference Between Success & Failure
In our back yard, about 15 feet from the house is a large, gorgeous maple tree. In the summer, it's home to a number of birds. Last year, at the end of a long branch, which extends to within 7 feet of our upstairs bathroom window, some robins built a nest, where they lived all summer until the weather got too cold. Both our cats just lay in the windowsill for hours all summer watching the birds come and go less than 7 feet from their window perch.

I've got writer's block. No. I tell a lie. I can't really be bothered to write this. I've run out of something inspired to say. But...by the end of this, I guarantee that I will have written something that I will be proud of. How do I know? Because I know how inspiration works.
