Separate Yourself from the Complaining Crowd
You Can Create Your Own Luck
Chapter 10 from D.J. Trump's Never Give Up.
"Luck is when opportunity meets preparedness."
Complainers aren't "working themselves into luck." If you want to be lucky, prepare for something big.
Developing your talent requires work, and work creates luck.
Having this attitude toward success is a great way to set yourself on a rewarding course for your life.
Complaining without doing anything about it, is actually detremental to physical and mental well-being. People are spending way too much time harping on negative themes (blogging, opinion-gushing venues). The emphasis is out of balance, and the negative focus doesn't help the situation.
Don't dwell so much on a problem that you've exhausted yourself before you can even entertain a solution. It just doesn't make sense. It takes brainpower and energy to think positively and creatively--and to see creatively and positively. Going negative is the easy way, the lazy way.
Use your brainpower to focus on positives and solutions, and your own mindset will help create your own luck.
When faced with big challenges, what will separate you from the complaining crowd will be how you choose to look at your situation. If you believe you are in control of it--and you are--you will know exactly who to look for when you need help: YOURSELF. You could be your greatest discovery yet for success, luck, power, and happiness.
Be mature enough to assume responsibility and know that the problem is yours. Know that it wouldn't do any good to blame other people. That would be a waste of time, and that's one kind of loss you wouldn't like. Time is something that cannot be replaced. If you find yourself slipping into the blaming of others mode, get out of it quickly.
Give luck the chance it needs to lay itself out in your life. No one can do it for you. As soon as you discover that luck is yours to create, you'll be thinking and seeing things in a whole new way.
So work hard, have fun, and good luck.
