@melrobbins: You’ve never heard luck explained like this before. Neuroscientist and Stanford professor Dr. Tina Seelig says that there is a science to luck - and you’re actually more in control of it than you think. Here’s the shift that changes everything: Fortune is what happens to you - where you’re born, who your parents are, the circumstances you didn’t choose. Luck is what you create - through your mindset, your decisions, and how you respond to what life throws at you. Most things are out of your control - but you CAN control how you show up, how you think, and what you do next. And THAT’S where luck is. Dr. Seelig isn't ignoring reality. A lot of life right now doesn’t feel lucky. But in this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, she’s teaching you the practical, everyday things you can do - even when you feel stuck in the thick of it - to help you manifest more of what you want in life. 🎧 “Stanford Luck Researcher: How to Manifest the Life You Want.” Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube — search “Mel Robbins Podcast Tina Seelig.” #melrobbins #melrobbinspodcast #luck #manfiest

The "luckiest" people I know are also the most consistent, the most curious, and the most willing to talk to strangers. Coincidence? Dr. Seelig says no 😂

Saw this quote that has shifted my perspective awhile back, and I believe it's worth sharing. The best thing anyone can do is to intentionally increase their surface area for luck. Step out, connect with people, and take brave opportunities amongst a multitude if other things. ☀️💜

Luck isn’t random, it compounds from how you choose to respond consistently.

If you focus long enough about a specific subject, learn about it, obsess over it, you will achieve your goals. Others will call it luck…

turns out "lucky" people aren't luckier they just kept showing up after the unlucky thing happened and I've been blaming the universe this whole time 💀

Oh, I just realized now that I knew this for a long time because I've been a fan of a great and incredibly artist, he received many great opportunities and turned it to be his luck because the way or how he reacted, people call him is a lucky person (they think all those great things he received bc of fortune just come to him easily, I said nope), he creates his luck, he never waits for furtune, he has developed, improved and prepared himself, always, and he has initiated + experimented many things, he has created, how to respond and react that's why he succeeds in his own way without huge labels to support him. Thank you so much for the information, this is amazing!

How about someone promised you a $1,000,000 contract and the next day he gets fired. What’s that?
