Motivation, momentum, luck. These are all things involving the mind and your thoughts.

Motivation

Losing motivation is just as easy as getting motivation. When you start a new project, you’re as motivated as ever, but when you start working on it, it eventually dies down when you realize the work involved. So a way to avoid this is to “keep your eyes on the prize” and to set realistic goals and keep a realistic time table. Motivation is a wonderful thing, but only if you use it to your advantage and never let the loss of motivation bring you down.

Momentum

Doesn’t it seem like when things go right, they keep going right, things keep falling into place, one after the other. But when things go bad, it keeps getting worse. That’s momentum at work. The reason why it happens is because of what’s in your mind when things (good or bad) happen. If the ball seems to be rolling downhill for you, you first have to stop the ball (stop thinking negatively) and then move that ball up the hill with just one small push (change your thinking), then you can build momentum, and it’ll seem like pushing that ball up the hill gets easier and easier.

Luck

There’s no such thing as lucky people. There are positive-thinkers, however. People who “always seem to get lucky” always get lucky because they believe good things always happen to them. People with bad luck have “bad luck” because they’re always down on themselves and say that things never go their way. It’s not what you go through that makes you who you are, it’s how you respond to those things. So if you can have complete power and control over your thoughts, you hold the keys to the world in your hand.
