Success is a combination of both luck and attitude. A great attitude is at the heart of what brings us luck! It has been said that ten percent of the things that happen to us are fate. The rest is controlled by our attitude and the way we look at things. Our attitude gives us the ability to react to all the things that happen to us in either a positive or negative way. It is the attitude we adopt, which will give us the ability to make wise choices. We are in control of our attitude, and it is our attitude, which will make the difference between our success or failure.

There are people who have the attitude that when something bad happens it is someone else's fault. When a person has a good attitude, they say that whatever happens; we can find a way to turn this into something good and productive. Even with loss of a loved one, though very painful, we have the ability to turn it into something positive. Great things have been accomplished because of grief in honor of those we love. Great heights have been reached because we have failed and learned from the mistakes we have made. It is our attitude that makes success possible.

Attitude is the best purveyor of luck, whether it is good or bad luck! If we believe everything bad that happens to us is everyone else's fault and things will always be bad: then our luck will be bad. If we can change our attitude and believe something good will come out of whatever just happened; it usually will. An example is when we go for an interview for a new job; we should walk in with our head held high and display confidence. The people around us can sense our attitude, whether we are confident, depressed, or in a defeated state of mind. Our attitude and the belief in ourselves is the thing that will bring us good luck and confidence. On the flip side, if we have a bad attitude, we will wish ourselves bad luck. We are judged by our attitude in every walk of life. 

Life is full of choices! If we are to succeed in life it is necessary for us to possess a great and positive attitude. Our luck is brought on by our attitude and perspective! Luck alone does not have the ability to bring us success or happiness. Someone once said: "Attitude Is Everything". Attitude may not be everything! Without it, we have no direction and are unable to find success! Our attitude is not only a reflection of who we are; it determines what we are able to accomplish. It controls our ability to handle all the things that happen to us in our lives. Our attitude is one of the main things that make it possible for us to succeed or to fail!
