You’ve never heard luck explained like this before.
Neuroscientist and Stanford professor Dr. Tina Seelig says that there is a science to luck - and you’re actually more in control of it than you think.
Here’s the shift that changes everything:
Fortune is what happens to you - where you’re born, who your parents are, the circumstances you didn’t choose.
Luck is what you create - through your mindset, your decisions, and how you respond to what life throws at you.
Most things are out of your control - but you CAN control how you show up, how you think, and what you do next. And THAT’S where luck is.
Dr. Seelig isn't ignoring reality. A lot of life right now doesn’t feel lucky.
But in this episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast, she’s teaching you the practical, everyday things you can do - even when you feel stuck in the thick of it - to help you manifest more of what you want in life.
