People who get the breaks believe in themselves and in their abilities. They picture themselves reaching their goals and are secure in the knowledge that they'll master any and all challenges that come their way. Possess a burning desire. Aside from being positive, lucky people are passionate about achieving their goals. They're always on the lookout to seize an opportunity, and you can bet they'll bring enthusiasm and energy to the quest.
Lucky people are mentally, physically and emotionally ready to perform at their maximum.
They are learners and hard workers. Whatever activity they are engaged in, you'll find them reading, practicing and picking the brains of successful people in that field. And they realize that the preparation must be done before the fantastic opportunity presents itself. Pro football quarterback Jeff Hostetler, formerly with the NY Giants, sat on the bench for seven years as a back-up, seldom playing at all. Hostetler didn't know in advance when his time would come, but he kept himself mentally and physically fit and was therefore able to take full advantage of his big chance.
