Some people seem to be very lucky and turn up at the right place at the right time, but it has nothing to do with luck! It is synchronicity; a concept introduced by Carl Jung: “A meaningful coincidence of two or more events, where something other than the probability of chance is involved.”
Luck is something you feel when something unexpected happens, that makes you feel good. You cannot control unexpected happenings but you can choose to be observant. By paying attention to what happens you are more likely to see opportunities you otherwise would have missed. We tend to be focused on our goals forgetting about the path to these goals. If we do not pay attention to things that happen on our way, then we will miss good opportunities along the road.
Often people get stuck at a dead end in their effort to get to their goal. If they had understood that the world is in constant change, then they would have seen several other paths they could have chosen instead of the dead end.
I believe that you can get more luck simply by being open to opportunities and by exploring interesting perspectives. We need goals on our life path, but it is important that we do not plan the way to our goals and stick to it. It is like driving from Berlin to Paris choosing the highway just to find out it is closed halfway there. Then you are stuck. I suggest you start out at the highway and then pay attention to the exits along the highway; when you see one that appeals to you, then turn of and go exploring.
