Do you ever feel like life is going your way? Maybe you win at gambling, the universe seems to be smiling down on you, and good things happen to you more often than not. These are all signs that you might be a lucky person. But if none of these things happen to you, does this mean you're not a lucky person? Not necessarily! There are ways to tell if someone is lucky based on their personality and habits. Here are 10 ways to tell if you're a lucky person or not.
You have your family support
You're lucky if your family and friends love and support you. They are your first line of defense when things start going awry. If you have a great relationship with them and they aren't putting you down or making you feel inadequate, then you're on the lucky side. Of course, not all families are supportive and some parents can be harsh and untrusting. This is one of the reasons I focus so much on inner health and mental well-being because we all need to support and love ourselves.
You have true friends
Lucky people tend to have a couple of real true friends who are equally as fortunate as them. They are the type of people who have known the person for years and that they know what you're like without even meeting you. Lucky people have other people they can count on to be there for them through all of the good times and the bad, who they can trust completely. When you consider the friends you know who are really lucky, you can see the connection they have with one another and the strength of their bonds. This doesn't mean you don't have good friends, but it could be the luck you're looking for.
Lucky people, like the others on this list, have solid relationships with their best friends, that no matter how they grow and change, remain a true source of love and support.
You are a social butterfly
On social media, everyone loves when you post a sweet selfie or a fun photo of your adventures, and you often get compliments from friends, family, and even complete strangers who like your pictures. What you might not know, however, is that you are lucky because you tend to put a lot of energy into social media. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology found that people who post frequently on social media are more likely to be well-liked and therefore appear to be more socially skilled. So even though you might not always feel like you have much of social life, you might be in fact a lucky person because you actually seek out social interaction and enjoy making connections.
Right place at the right moment.
Ever been somewhere and have no idea how you got there? It could be because you got there via a lucky pickup truck, but more likely you just happened to be in the right place at the right time. You just had a good luck run. For example, you were standing in the right place when you got a text from your ex asking you out for drinks, or you landed that huge interview that you've been waiting for forever. You are never standing in the wrong place, you just always end up at the right place at the right time.
You feel optimistic most of the time
Some people have a natural ability to find happiness. Your thoughts are always positive, and you're always looking for the bright side of things. Being happy and hopeful are good signs that you're lucky. You never dwell on what you don't have, and you can't wait to see what's next.
You're more self-aware
You're a little extra cautious in your everyday decisions. For instance, you might hesitate to take a job in which you're going to be held accountable for your work ethic and will likely be under pressure. You're more likely to take risks and are always looking for ways to improve your life.
You’re always around when great things happen
It's the whole idea of looking out for your friends and loved ones. If you're lucky, then you're always around to witness these things. It's important that you show up when these situations arise, whether it's a new job, a big win or someone you love and care about has a big win. You want to be available for your friends and family when they want your assistance.
You can tell if someone is lucky by looking at how they show up. If they show up in the midst of a situation that is positive, happy, and free, it means that person is lucky. If they show up as a bystander and are not directly involved, then you may want to reconsider if you're lucky for them.
Your wishes come true
While it's easy to think that everyone's wishes come true (and sometimes they do!), it's pretty rare for someone to wish for the same exact thing over and over again. A lot of people say they don't believe in fate, but they also seem to be pretty aware of their own strengths and weaknesses. Lucky people tend to focus on what they can control and do their best to focus on the positives and the positive outcomes they deserve. So if your dreams for the future seem to come true and you're winning more often than not, you might be a lucky person.
Conclusion
A lot of times, luck can be interpreted as some big event that a person doesn't necessarily control. For example, if a homeless person finds money on the sidewalk, they might conclude that they are a lucky person because they've been very fortunate in their life. However, in reality, being homeless isn't so lucky since it's something that comes without any kind of preparation. A better measure of whether someone is lucky or not is their overall mindset.
First of all, you can always be a lucky person by being positive. Second of all, you don't need to create a very specific scenario to be lucky. People have been lucky before simply because of their day-to-day routine, and we tend to forget about this. Lastly, luck has nothing to do with money.
