　　Luck isn't some mysterious force. "To a very large extent, we are responsible for much of the good fortune that we encounter，" says Richard Wiseman, PhD, a professor of psychology and the author of The Luck Factor. Here, some of the traits that separate fortunate folks from the self­proclaimed unlucky.

　　Expect good things

　　When people feel lucky, it tilts the scales of serendipity in their favor. "Their expectations become self­fulfilling prophecies，" says Wiseman. Researchers at New York University discovered that students who believed that they would get a date were significantly more likely to win over the object of their desire.

　　The simple explanation: self­assurance. If you believe that you'll do well, you'll be more motivated. Feeling lucky might even help you win a prize at a charity dinner: The more optimistic you are about your chances, the more raffle tickets you'll probably buy. Not a Pollyanna by nature? Lucky charms can work by boosting confidence.

　　Court chance

　　Lucky people cultivate lots of friends and acquaintances. In one study, Wiseman showed participants a list of last names and asked them to indicate if they were on a first­name basis with at least one person with each surname. Of subjects who considered themselves lucky, nearly 50 percent ticked eight names or more. Only 25 percent of unlucky people could. "Lucky people talk to lots of people, attract people to them, and keep in touch，" Wiseman says. "These habits result in a 'network of luck' creating potential for fortuitous connections."

　　Colleen Seifert, PhD, a cognitive scientist at the University of Michigan, advises getting out of an everyday rut: Attend a conference, work a political fund­raiser, or sign up for scuba lessons. "Throwing a little chaos into your life opens you up to a chance encounter，" she says. That person could end up being your soul mate, business partner - or someone you chat with for five minutes and never see again. The goal is to stay open to possibilities.

　　Look for silver linings

Finding value in bad luck can help your brain process situations differently, according to Tania Luna, coauthor of Surprise: Embrace the Unpredictable and Engineer the Unexpected. Luna showed kids emotionally intense images - like a boy crying - while measuring activity in their brains. Then she showed them again with a reassuring
