Here’s the funny thing about pain and misery. You are addicted to suffering and uncomfortable with joy. There was also a second large message half way through the newspaper that read, “Stop counting, tell the experimenter you have seen this and win $250.” Their minds tended to overlook both messages. Those who felt they were unlucky? Missed the message and kept counting. Those who felt they were lucky types were done in seconds, spotting a clear message two inches high on the second page of the paper, “Stop counting – There are 43 photographs in this newspaper.” In one experiment, he gave people a newspaper, asking them to count the photos inside. But ignored it.ĭon’t believe your unconscious mind is really that powerful? Experimental psychologist Richard Wiseman spent ten years studying “the Luck Factor”. On that very first date, if you are honest with yourself, you were uncomfortable. And later claim ‘they seemed so nice but who knew they were a narcissist’.
You’ll meet someone who makes you nervous but keep dating them.
But you knew in the interview it sounded boring. You will take a job you don’t really like, telling yourself ‘it will be fine’, only to be terribly unhappy and say “I had no idea it would be so boring, it’s just bad luck’. So you make one bad decision after another.Ĭore beliefs can ‘blind’ us to opportunities, as we unconsciously choose the wrong things again and again or make life difficult, then we call it ‘bad luck’. If, on the other hand, you didn’t get that unconditional acceptance and love? Or you experienced things like neglect or trauma? You might have what’s called ‘ limiting beliefs’. If you grew up with support and unconditional love, you core belief might be, “I deserve good things.” You probably veer towards nice things naturally. We tend to make decisions to prove the strongest of these beliefs, called ‘ core beliefs’, as true. Our unconscious hides a belief system we’ve been developing since childhood. But it’s unconscious thinking that has the upper hand. Our conscious thoughts are rarely what really drives the show. You don’t believe you deserve good things. How is it possible you are choosing bad things? Let’s look at how it works. It might be that you are the driving force behind many of your difficult experiences, not just life being life. We develop resiliency and gain clarity on what we value.īut if your luck is sour almost daily, or at the very least weekly? And there is a pattern to it? If it’s always, say, you that people let down, or you that gets lied to, or who constantly ends up with partners who aren’t what they seem? People do get into accidents, or get sick, or are victims of crime or childhood trauma.
Why is it you are always the unlucky one? You might have more control over this than you think. Always have bad luck compared to everyone around you? Feel like you were born under a bad star? And spend your life telling everyone who will listen one unbelievable story after another?
