Lucky people listen to their gut feelings and hunches
There is almost no difference between how lucky and unlucky people assess evidence, think about different options, and choose one alternative over another. They do, however, differ on a rather mysterious aspect of decision making, namely, intuition.

More than a hundred lucky and unlucky people answered a short questionnaire concerning the role of intuition – the rather curious sensation that something we have just done, or are about to do, is very right or very wrong – in their lives. When it came to luck, intuition mattered. Lucky people’s gut feelings and hunches tend to pay off time and time again. In contrast, unlucky people often ignore their intuition and regret their decisions.

Make the decision, then stop
To find out how you really feel about your options, simply choose one of them and commit your decision to paper. For example, if you are uncertain about whether to hand in your notice at work, just go for it and write your resignation letter. Now stop. How do you feel right now? Do you want to move forward with your decision or is there something inside telling you that it doesn’t feel right? When it comes to the crunch, what does your inner voice say to you?
