Get Your Lucky On

Remember what Forrest Gump says when bullies call him stupid? “Stupid is as stupid does.” Forrest’s mama taught him well and I was reminded of this as I went through a great slide presentation by social media strategist Tara Hunt.

We often think of luck as something that is beyond our control but this list from a scientific study done by Richard Wiseman puts into words what I’ve been feeling for a long time: Lucky is as lucky does. We all know people who seem to have been born under a lucky star but for the rest of us, luck is something we can create a lot more of.  Among the five things listed here, four consist of action verbs like follow, balance, go, and see. Only in the last item do we run into a passive state of being.

Do you want some luck in your corner today? Well you’d better get busy!
