People often say that someone is born lucky, but I believe no one is born with luck. Luck is just a modest term for the strong and an excuse for the weak. In real life, the harder you work, the luckier you get. True good luck actually comes from your own efforts.
We once had a new colleague in our company who quickly gained the boss’s appreciation and a promotion. Many people were puzzled by his promotion, wondering how he could get such a good opportunity shortly after joining, while we, who had been working for so long, still hadn’t been promoted or appreciated. Some even said he was just lucky.
If it was really just luck, then who can have good luck all the time?
Maybe most people only see his glamorous side, but they don’t see him working late at night, sweating profusely while running business errands every day. Many times I saw him alone on the street handing out flyers, eating while working with a bowl of boxed food in hand.
Sometimes he even forgot to eat due to being busy. I believe not many people have seen this scene. In real life, people only care about the results and rarely pay attention to your process.
The ups and downs, the bitterness, and setbacks, only you can truly experience them. Why do some people have continuous good luck? In the end, it’s because they have these few qualities.
Cheerful, Optimistic, and Upbeat
Psychology master Richard Wiseman once said in his research, “Those who are lucky like to participate in various social and competitive activities. By systematic participation, they increase their chances of standing out.”
Indeed, in real life, most lucky people are cheerful, full of positive energy, and more likely to make friends. Having more friends changes their mindset and they don’t confine themselves to a narrow space.
Optimistic and cheerful people can make life bloom at any moment.
At the end of the movie “The King of Comedy,” there was a saying: “You can’t see anything in the dark ahead.” “It’s not the sky, it will be beautiful after dawn.”
In real life, it’s the same. Everyone experiences darkness, setbacks, and difficulties, but it’s essential to face life with a positive mindset to make it better.
I had a friend who faced significant setbacks when starting a company. Despite the setbacks, he was always cheerful when with us, as if nothing had happened. We jokingly asked him if he was really that carefree.
He hesitated a bit after hearing us and then said with a smile, “What’s the use of being upset? I have to continue working hard. Being upset won’t solve any problems. I’d rather show life with practical actions that I’m resilient.”
After hearing his words, I was very impressed. I believe that an optimistic and positive person, wherever they go, will be favored by life.
Possessing Wisdom and a Broad Perspective
People with wisdom and a broad perspective are emotionally intelligent. Some say that a person’s success is directly proportional to their IQ, but I think a person’s success often depends on emotional intelligence.
Those with great wisdom will receive great blessings, and those with a broad perspective can build good relationships. In real life, sometimes we compete not with intelligence, but with emotional intelligence. A person with high emotional intelligence will be respected by others wherever they are. Humility, modesty, and respectfulness are their charms.
Wisdom represents a kind of ability and charm. As the saying goes, appreciating someone starts with looks, respecting their talents, matching their character, and lasting with kindness and loyalty. Ultimately, a person’s character is crucial in real life.
A person without great wisdom and a broad perspective is like life without a soul. A soulless life is often joyless.
Great wisdom and a broad perspective can bring a good state of mind. Only with a good state of mind can a person do things correctly. People with these qualities can brave the storm and forge ahead in the face of life’s challenges, and such blessings come from their own efforts.
Grateful Individuals
People who often feel grateful are the ones who encounter benefactors. The more benefactors you meet, the luckier you become. Those who understand gratitude will earn the admiration and help of others.
In real life, when someone helps you, it’s out of kindness, and when they don’t, it’s their prerogative. No one is obligated to help you, so if someone is willing to give you opportunities and more help, it shows that they are kind and good. Therefore, when you meet kindness and goodness, you should cherish it and work even harder.
Grateful people never do things poorly. In fact, their good luck comes from themselves because only by constantly feeling grateful can your life journey go further. Gratitude is a compulsory course in life, but only a few can truly excel at it.
So, taking gratitude to the extreme will widen your path, and only by daring to give can you expect returns. Success on the road of life is not easy, but all good luck and blessings come from your own efforts.
