So I was watching this thing on T.V. last night with Derren Brown about making your own luck. He went to this little village made a rumour about a dog statue, and if you rub it you get luck. He got a reporter to go round telling this rumour so people started to believe it, this " Reporter " stayed in the village for 3 month building this rumour up so much people started believing it they won, did and had stuff happen to them out the usual.
Then he did little test to see more positive people to un-positive people, First he got this comedian to pretend to have a flat tyre and who ever out the two people he would do a gig for. Out of the two random people interview One that embraced life and took a positive side to life and the other person a miserable guy who didn't love him self or life. So he went to the un-positive one saying will you help me etc... He said no sorry I don't have time I have a business to run they both owned Bars, Then he went to the positive one will you help me she couldn't but she got someone who could and he offered to do a gig at her place and she made 3 thousand pounds because all the people coming to watch him.
What I am trying to say is the way you look and embrace life will help the outcome of it. There was loads of test between these kinds of people it was really intresting to watch.
