Science Shows That Luck is a Self Fulfiling Prophecy

I don’t know how many times I’ve been told, ‘You’re the luckiest person I know’, but it’s been a lot.
Maybe there’s a reason. I could be ‘lucky’ cuz I’m confident, in my own abilities and intelligence, SO, maybe there’s a reason I’m LUCKY, or as I say more often, fortunate.

That is to say, we’re only as lucky as we think we are, and luck begets luck. This makes optimists the luckiest people of all, according to Bloomsberg University philosophy professor Steven Hales, who writes in Aeon, “Luck might not be a genuine quality of the world at all…Luck judgments are a matter of perspective.”
