TED: Being Lucky

Another TED presentation to share:

"HOW DO YOU BE INCREDIBLY LUCKY?"

Listen to the buzz. Listen to that internal feeling when you really know that this is a great opportunity. Prescribe to the "Law of Attraction" - the belief that opportunities consistently come up around us and we've got to make ourselves available to them. Listen to that internal buzz and be aware of it so that when those opportunities happen, you can bounce on them.

Ignore the odds. Don't ever be defeatist. Absolutely believe that you do have that opportunity.

Audaciously expect a great outcome. No matter what you're about to do, expect you're going to win. If you play the lottery, expect to win. If you need to catch a plane, expect to win. And remember that not winning can actually be lucky. Be grateful when you haven't won. In actuality, it may be opening up an amazing path for something totally different that's even better. Just keep positive energy around you at all times.

Create luck for others (Note from Keith: this is my philosophy of generosity). Make sure as you walk around this world that you consistently find other opportunities to create luck in other people's lives. Random acts of kindness and generosity will bring luck and generosity to you.

I'm Back - Hi Everyone, It's been over a month since I visited this forum, and it's good to be back. With everything going on it feels like a year. Some of you know me from other forums and you know that my car was stolen and it affected my whole life. A simple 30min drive to work became a complete nightmare, sometimes over 2 hrs travel by bus. Lucky me, this year, we have 36(!) new teachers in our school and some of them live near me, and after many phone calls I managed to build a schedule and getting rides to work. But that's not all. I work as a lab technician in the school, but this year, they added hours, so we start earlier and finish later. The worst thing is the fact that I am so busy most of the time I can't even access the computer at work. That fact was hurting my online business, but we finally found a car. I really don't like this car, but it's wheels and that's all I need now to get to work and back. Now I am catching up with things, going back to my favorite forums, blogging, writing articles. My mind is clear and I can think and concentrate on the biz. Wow, that came up longer than I intended it to be. Anyway, It's good to be back
