“Opportunity is missed by most people because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work.“
~ Thomas Edison
Did you know that by changing your attitude you can change your luck?
Did you know by changing your luck you can change your life?
Quite often, we spend our lives absorbed in the details of work, and we view work as hard, dull, and quite frankly, boring. As a result, we often miss valuable opportunities, which could change our lives forever. By spending time engaged in activities that you find valuable, spending time with people who are interesting and successful, and having a vision for your life, opportunities can fall in your lap like manna from heaven.
Some people seem to have all the luck, but in fact, studies show that people use very specific techniques to maximize the role that chance plays in their lives. According to FAST Company Magazine, anyone can change their luck with four basic techniques:
1. Create chance opportunities by spending more time with friends and chatting with strangers.
2. Follow your hunches. Pay attention to the inner voice and the music that you feel inside when it comes to finances, relationships, and careers.
3. Expect good fortune. If you expect to do well, you will!
4. Turn bad luck into good luck. By controlling how we respond to bad luck, we can find the silver lining in just about any negative circumstance.

Great post Alicia. Life is one opportunity unfolding after another. When one man sees an obstacle another sees a stepping.
Our hunches are the intuition. It is perfect and will always lead us in the direction of our goal, no matter how far off of the beaten path it takes us.
Thanks for sharing your insight
