Do you believe that some people are just born lucky? Or that people make their own luck?

Do you think that luck is something that always seems to happen to other people or do you think that you’ve had a few lucky breaks and that’s all they were- lucky breaks? You can’t imagine what it would be like to increase your good fortune.

Or do you think that you’re one of the lucky ones?

Either way, you’re right.

Research at the University of Hertfordshire has found that ‘lucky’ people tend to operate differently to ‘unlucky ‘people – they have a different mindset, are more open to opportunities and to other people, they’re also more likely to change their routine to expand their opportunities.

Perhaps, like many others you think that the word ‘serendipity’ simply means ‘luck’ in the sense of a random occurrence of good fortune. Its true meaning, however, is much closer to Professor Wiseman’s findings that

“Lucky people create, notice, and act upon the chance opportunities in their lives”

and that if  luck means being in the right place at the right time

“being in the right place at the right time is actually all about being in the right state of mind.”

Its meaning is drawn from an old folktale, The Three Princes of Serendip. In this, the three princes notice things and make remarkable deductions that earn them praise and secure their safety and continued good fortune– yet someone else may just have easily overlooked what they saw.

Scientific discovery is littered with examples of serendipity – of people noticing something and following it, even if it takes them off at an apparent tangent. They know that nothing is ultimately wasted.
