Friday the 13th, lucky or unlucky? 💀

🎲 Where does luck come from and how to have more luck and opportunities in 2025?

How many times have you heard (or said): “I'm not lucky.” “He's successful because he's lucky.” “I never get the right opportunities.”

👉 Yet luck isn't just a matter of chance.

It's provoked, it's nurtured, and it's much more a matter of mindset and action.

Here are 3 keys to start creating your own luck (scientifically proven, I talk about it in my video):

1️⃣ Know what you want.

It's basic, but powerful: if you don't know what you want, how could you recognize an opportunity when it presents itself?

🔑 Define clearly: What you want to achieve. Why it's important to you.

👉 This level of clarity activates your “opportunity radar”.

When you know what you're looking for, you start to see solutions, people and ideas all around you.

2️⃣ Change your focus.

The “unlucky” have one thing in common: they're focused on problems, not opportunities.

They see obstacles, failures, and convince themselves that everything is against them.

Conversely, the “lucky” ones:

💡 Your focus determines your reality. If you look for luck, you'll find it.

3️⃣ Be proactive.

Luck loves the bold. Those who step out of their comfort zone, take calculated risks and dare to reach out to others.

✅ How to be proactive: Attend events, meet people. Expand your network. Train, learn, connect.

Luck doesn't knock on your door when you stay in your routine.

Get out there, create value, become an opportunity for others.

There will be beautiful encounters and good timing, “as if by chance!”

And above all: become luck.

Helping, listening, bringing value to those around you and to your network makes you a source of opportunity.

When you're aligned, know what you want and take the lead, you naturally attract the right people, at the right time, in the right place.

Luck isn't some mysterious magic.

It's a skill, a know-how and a savoir-être.

Yes, there's an element of unpredictability and randomness, but you have the ability to create and respond.
