In life, there are people who frequently encounter good luck, while others only face misfortune. There are many different reasons that determine this, but if you possess the 8 characteristics below, it is completely understandable that you are considered a lucky person. These characteristics are the source of luck, and it is from luck that they arise.
1. Good physical condition
There is a saying: “This year is bamboo shoots, next year is bamboo; when young, good health leads to blessings in old age.” Good health is truly important, necessary, and beneficial. Treat yourself kindly, for without health, other matters are meaningless. Only when you have good health can you enjoy success, happiness, and your own life. Earning money can last a lifetime, and work is the same; even after a lifetime of work, there will still be tasks to do. Not everything can be completed in a day, so do not let each day make you more tired and exhausted.
2. Kindness
Kindness here is understood as being good-hearted towards everyone, always harboring benevolent thoughts in your heart to help and give. The ancients said: “Kindness is as precious as jade, a lifetime of use is never exhausted,” meaning that the word kindness is as valuable as jade, and can be used throughout one’s life. A kind person takes kindness as their foundation, happily helping and rescuing others in times of need, bringing them joy. Others, therefore, also enjoy associating with them and are more willing to help when they need it. A kind-hearted person, the more they walk, the wider the path will be; over time, blessings will grow, and fortune will improve.
3. Good mindset
A person who is overly troubled and dissatisfied, who gets angry at the slightest provocation, and finds everything displeasing will never be able to feel or enjoy the joy of those with a good mindset. Once a person has a good mindset, there is nothing they cannot endure, no one they cannot forgive, and nothing they cannot let go of. A truly good mindset can be compared to a bird freely soaring high in the sky, looking down at the smoke and dust of the human world, flapping its wings to dispel all worries. The mindset affects luck; a good mindset will help reduce unnecessary obstacles in communication and interaction between people, making work more comfortable and pleasant.
4. Pleasant temperament
A pleasant temperament will bring much luck. There is a reality that perhaps everyone understands: to have good health and a happy life, one must control their temperament well and regulate their emotions effectively. Getting angry is punishing oneself for the mistakes of others. Therefore, each of us should be alert. When too much irritability, anger, and negative emotions accumulate in a person’s heart, it will harm our spirit and health. When we accumulate anger inside, we are like a balloon that is overinflated, easily bursting and turning into irreparable fragments. A grumpy and unpleasant temperament not only destroys social relationships but also affects our health, tarnishing our lives. Remember, those who are ill-tempered and difficult will never attract the attention of the goddess of luck. So, control your emotions well, open your heart to the surrounding environment, and you will naturally see that everything is beautiful.
5. A smiling face
There is a proverb: “When you step out the door, look at the sky; when you enter the house, observe the face,” a stern face will never make others feel comfortable, and no one wants to look at it. Appearance reveals the heart; those who know how to respect others and have a smiling face will surely bring comfort to others, and in return, they will receive good things.
6. Speaking well
Ancient sages taught that: “A kind word can warm the heart for three months during the cold winter, while a half-sentence of malice can cast a chill for half a year.” To encounter good fortune, moral speech is very important. Good moral speech can lead to good fortune, and good fortune can reduce the need for detours, adding to achievements. The mouth can release roses but can also spit out poison; pay attention to moral speech, and do not say words that hurt others. Imagine nails being driven into a board; even if the nails are removed, the small holes remain, and they can never be completely erased no matter what. Hurting others, no matter how many times you apologize, the wound will never completely disappear; it will always exist. Ask yourself, do you deserve to receive kind responses?
7. Good Behavior
In life, one needs to possess two abilities: One is to speak in a way that connects people, and the second is to act in a way that moves others. Concepts lead to decisions, decisions influence behavior, and behavior results in outcomes. An accurate worldview will guide correct behavior. Reflect on your own actions, understand how to cherish happiness and create blessings, do good deeds, and give, and you will receive in return.
8. Good Relationships
Society is a network, a vast web that covers all beings, where each person is just a small node, and everyone has a close relationship with the whole. We often face the question of how to communicate with others. People in society all wish to survive and develop through mutual interaction. Regardless of the task, whether it is studying, working, or advancing… everything requires support, help, or even guidance from relationships. To have good relationships, one must cultivate moral character, especially sincerity.
If you understand this formula, you will eventually become wealthy
Life is not always smooth, and things are not always fair. Some are born into wealthy families, with parents in business, and from a young age, they are taught and hear valuable experiences. Therefore, they have a better foundation to start their journey to wealth. Others are born in ordinary circumstances, with parents who are salaried workers, and while they are also taught from a young age, it is mainly about moral conduct. However, as long as they have talent and are willing to endure hardship, they can still build a fortune from scratch. Yet, there are many others who, despite striving for half their lives and dedicating their youth to struggle, still cannot achieve success. In fact, the starting point is not too important; many self-made millionaires and billionaires actually come from humble beginnings, and their initial lives are always tough, worrying about daily meals. But what is important is that they always understand the following three formulas, which allow them to take control of their lives and move towards success:
The habit of waking up early: There is a saying: waking up early is the key to success. The morning is when our brains are most alert, our thoughts are most active, and important tasks that require focus can be resolved quickly in the morning. Many successful people know this and always practice it. Haruki Murakami is a famous writer in Japan. He always wakes up at 5 a.m. every day to write and run. Waking up early helps him be healthier, write better, and be more creative. A Chinese religious scholar once said: "Those who can control the morning can control their lives." A scholar once spent five years studying the daily habits of 177 self-made millionaires and found that 99% of successful people have the habit of waking up early. Develop the habit of waking up early and spend more than one or two hours compared to others each day to improve yourself. Over time, it will surely bring shocking changes to your life.
The habit of reading: Chinese writer Lin Yutang once said: "Reading is experiencing life." Reading is the lowest-cost investment; it not only enlightens the mind and broadens horizons but also helps change our thinking. No one can deny the benefits of reading, but how many people actually do it? Gorky, a world-famous writer, once said, "Books are the ladder of human progress." He loved reading from a young age, treating books as his own life. Once, when a fire broke out in his room, the first thing he grabbed was a book; he didn't even think of anything else. He said: "On one hand, books awaken my intellect and heart; on the other hand, they help me rise from the mud. Without books, I would have long been submerged in this mud; I could have been killed by ignorance and mediocrity." The habit of reading, only when you start reading and begin to form the habit of reading, will you realize how important it is.
The habit of self-reflection and summarizing: Zengzi once replied to Confucius, saying: "I reflect on myself three times a day." (Students reflect on themselves many times each day.) Constantly self-examining and summarizing is the only way to develop. Reviewing oneself is not only to check results but also to avoid making similar mistakes next time, while also identifying the issues behind the problems. By reviewing the process and direction of work, you will also gain new knowledge and new ideas.
