As we continue toward the fifth secret technique of psychics, I have a gut feeling that you are the sort of person that lets your heart rule your head, can sometimes be too impulsive for your own good, and have recently come into contact with a goat. Rest assured you are not the only one.

We are far more like somebody watching ourselves than somebody in charge of ourselves.

Unlucky people miss chance opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to parties intent on finding their perfect partner and so miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and as a result miss other types of jobs. Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for.

Our beliefs do not sit passively in our brains waiting to be confirmed or contradicted by incoming information. Instead, they play a key role in shaping how we see the world.

The concept of luck is very straightforward. Some people notice opportunities and others don't.

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

Luck is not a magical ability or a gift from the gods. Instead, it is a way of thinking and behaving.
