With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, luck is on everyone’s mind. Some say success comes down to timing, chance, and being in the right place at the right time. But is it really luck, or do we create our own opportunities?
According to Dr. Richard Wiseman, psychologist and author of The Luck Factor, people who consider themselves lucky tend to exhibit certain behaviors. They are more open to new experiences, resilient in the face of setbacks, and proactive in pursuing opportunities. In other words, luck is not just random—it’s often the result of mindset and action.
Think about the most successful people you know. Are they just lucky, or have they built their own momentum through:
✅ Smart decisions that set them up for success
✅ Consistent habits that push them forward
✅ The ability to recognize and seize opportunities when they arise
We cannot control everything, but we can control how we prepare, show up, and react to what life throws our way. Maybe luck is not just chance. Maybe it is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.
💡 Rhyno Rethinks🦏
🔹 What’s one small habit you can adopt today to create more "luck" in your life?
🔹 Do you believe luck is real, or is it just smart preparation and action?
🔹 Think back to a moment when luck was on your side—was it luck, or did you make it
happen?
Let’s rethink luck together! 🍀
