Richard Wiseman researches luck and says:
Personality tests revealed that unlucky people are generally much more tense than lucky people, and research has shown that anxiety disrupts people's ability to notice the unexpected.Interesting and feels connected to my own little mantra of notice more, change less.

I wonder how they gauge the level of luck in the person they questioned. Do they say "I'm lucky" etc?
Who knows... the point is, I appreciate life and relax into it. If that is scientifically proven to be the source of my luck, then long may it continue..

A very interesting article and something I feel passionate about, I think everyone can be taught how to see the opportunities and "luck" that is around us all the time. I started my adult life and turned my life around to become a successful entrepreneur. I don't consider myself lucky, I made it happen. Other people however often tell me I am lucky.
