What do you call luck then, Ville-Pekka? |
Hmm, maybe something what's not in anyway in my hands. Parents or place where I was born goes to that category.   _________________ "Having 2 ears and one tongue means we should listen twice as much as we speak."

Thank you for the recommendation, vmashchenko. I am currently reading Mr Robbins book "Awaken the Giant Within." Great stuff there also!
And indeed, the more concretely steps are defined, the surer you can take them.
But hey, since we have this conversation about luck, let's define what luck means for each of us.
For me, luck is the combination of good things in life that have been given to me without me doing anything (in this life). I have great parents, a splendid hometown near nature and many great childhood friends. I feel very lucky to have so much love in my life |
Good book! I've listened audiobook. He also has new free book re-Awaken the Giant Within. And now I've listen Tony's course: Personal Power
Regarding luck, " that have been given to me without me doing anything", you at least appreciate and give positive meaning to those things. I think there are a lot of people who has good parents and homes but did not think so. So you do something
We live in a world of cause and effect. If we born surrounded by good things we need at least maintain good relationship or take care of those things so they will be good long for us.   _________________ Вячеслав Мащенко   |

Thanks for the info about free book. Downloaded it to my iPad and had a quick peek, looks very promising.   _________________ "Having 2 ears and one tongue means we should listen twice as much as we speak."

You are right about that good things and even privilege can be maintained. It is like a garden. You need care for it and water it to make it bloom year after year.
Also, I moved the talk about Tony Robbins to another topic. You can find it in the Personal Growth section.   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee
