THE LUCK FACTOR

In Chinese philosophy we believe that there are three types of luck that influence our life:

Heaven luck– our astrology: the planetary alignment at our time of our birth and how that shapes our life. And the family we are born into and how they nurture and influence us.

Human luck- our attitude towards life, our motivation and drive and the effort we put into developing our future.

Earth luck– the energy of our environment and the impact that has on our life. Earth luck is feng shui.

Remember we all have control over our human luck and our earth luck, therefore, 66% of our luck is in our control.

The Four Principles

by Professor Richard Wiseman

Professor Wiseman has identified the four basic principles that lucky people use to create good fortune in their lives.

Principle One: Maximise Chance Opportunities
Lucky people are skilled at creating, noticing and acting upon chance opportunities. They do this in various ways, including networking, adopting a relaxed attitude to life and by being open to new experiences.

Principle Two: Listening to Lucky Hunches
Lucky people make effective decisions by listening to their intuition and gut feelings. In addition, they take steps to actively boost their intuitive abilities by, for example, meditating and clearing their mind of other thoughts.

Principle Three: Expect Good Fortune
Lucky people are certain that the future is going to be full of good fortune. These expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies by helping lucky people persist in the face of failure, and shape their interactions with others in a positive way.

Principle Four: Turn Bad Luck to Good
Lucky people employ various psychological techniques to cope with, and often even thrive upon, the ill fortune that comes their way. For example, they spontaneously imagine how things could have been worse, do not dwell on ill fortune, and take control of the situation.

27 Simple mehndi designs for hands for Karwa Chauth

The most  simple mehndi designs for hands  for Karwa Chauth 2014 Karwa Chauth  is around the corner and I am so excited about getting mehndi done! This time I plan to go with a simple yet quirky design. Don’t want my hands full, however it needs to be a style statement for this year’s most awaited festival for us ladies! There are some basic categories of mehndi designs, such as Gujrati, Rajasthani, Marwari,  Arabic  and African  patterns to choose from. They have certain prominent motifs or symbols that distinguishes one from the other. I just can’t seem to stop experimenting with these styles. From  circles to squares , peacocks and paisleys , checks and dots and what not. But my all-time favorite is a simple, curling vine, of course finger tips covered with thick coating of aromatic mehndi (which is so traditional). Quirky patterns include  traditional  as well as non-traditional patterns tweaked to one’s own liking. This includ...

Kick new song Hangover: Salman Khan’s singing stint is impressive!

The  Kick  star has lent his voice for his new song  Hangover The wait is over.  Hangover  is here! Last time, Salman Khan floored us all with his tapori stint in song  Jumme Ki Raat alongside Jacqueline Fernandez who sizzled with her sultry moves, donning a hot red lace dress. It seems along with giving us killer action sequences and  Dabangg  one liners, our very own Sallu  miyaan  can sing as well! The  Jai Ho  star’s highly anticipated singing stint in  Hangover  is finally out and we are happy to report that the Bhaijaan of B-town has certainly pleasantly surprised us all with his voice which has elements of a sexy twang and a Salman’s casual laid back back feel to it. The song on the whole is romantic, with a hint of zing added to it which makes it appealing to the ears. The tune is catchy and the lyrics are simple, which make  Hangover  a pleasant melody overall. We wonder what the video of ...

I'm not back because of Salman: Mahek

Mahek Chahal, who got evicted from the " Bigg Boss" house earlier this month, is back. In conversation with DT, Mahek not only spoke about her fellow contestants accusing  Salman Khan   of promoting favouritism in the show, but also took digs at Akashdeep Saigal for using foul language and misbehaving with her. "It would be unfair to say that I have been selected as the wild card entry because of Salman Khan. Yeh sarasar jhooth aur bakwaas hai. My supporters saw me being humiliated on the show. If I'm back, it is only because of them and not because of Salman," she says. Now that the model-turned-actress has entered the house again, she wants to settle a score with all those who ill-treated her in the house. "There are certain issues which I want to clarify in the house. For instance, Sky maintains that he never abused anyone. Woh kehta hai ki usne logon ko gaali nahin di. But he hasn't only called me 'bhootni', but also bad-mouthed my family...
