Have you ever thought to yourself that you were lucky? So many people will look at the good things in their lives and decide their good fortune or circumstances are a result of being lucky or being at the right place at the right time.
No Such Thing as Luck : The alternaview
The alternaview is that there is no such thing as luck. When good things are happening in our lives and things are falling into place perfectly, they are meant to happen and are a result of something, or many things, we did right. We should never miss out on the opportunity to give ourselves credit for everything that is going right in our lives by reaching the conclusion that we were just lucky.
We are always quick to analyze why things are going wrong when we experience undesirable events or challenges. And, many time in order to feel better about the circumstances we face, we will tell ourselves that everything happens for a reason, which is very much true. However, we shouldn’t dismiss that same logic just because things have gone our way by attributing them to luck.
Just as there is value in understanding and learning when things go wrong, there is also value in understanding and learning when things have gone right. If we think that the good things are just there because we were lucky or in the right place at the right time, we will miss out on understanding what we actually did that created the good circumstances. And, those are the things and approaches we want to repeat and integrate more and more into our lives. It is yet another way to live and to learn and continue to create good circumstances in life.
We need to realize that we have much more control over our lives than we may ever have imagined. It is not luck that is creating the good conditions in our lives, it is of our own doing. When good things appear, it is because we determined what we wanted, envisioned having it, believed we were capable and worked until it became a reality. None of that has anything to do with luck or being at the right place at the right time. We created the positive chain of momentum.
So, take a look at everything in your life where you may have felt you were lucky or that things just somehow managed to fall into place perfectly. Realize these circumstances didn’t just luckily or magically appear. There was something that you did right or a good approach that you had that should be understood and is most likely worth repeating. There is no such thing as luck, it is all of your own doing…that is the alternaview.
