HR professional Melissa Stone, 43, says the 'luck of the Irish' is not about chance but perspective and making the most of opportunities.
The executive career coach from County Wexford advises shifting focus to recognise achievements, stop comparisons, and surround oneself with positive influences.
She argues that success comes from mindset and action, not luck alone. Stone’s tips include celebrating wins, seeking opportunities, and staying open to possibilities rather than dwelling on obstacles.

00:00Ever wondered why the Irish are known for their luck? Well, it's not just about four-leaf clovers
00:05and pots of gold. It's about perspective. We know that whatever we focus on shapes the life we live.
00:11So ask yourself this. Are you focusing on what you have or what you don't have? Because most
00:16people focus on what they don't have. The unsupportive boss, the salary that's not enough,
00:21the career that feels stagnant. But here's the catch. Just like how positivity attracts
00:27positivity, negativity attracts more negativity. And if you constantly focus on what you're
00:33missing, you'll only create more frustration, more obstacles, and more reasons to feel stuck.
00:39So what if instead you focused on the fortune already in your hands? The skills you're building,
00:44the opportunities you're creating, and the small wins that are stacking up each day?
00:49Because luck isn't just about chance. It's about how you see the world and the choices you make.
00:54So this St. Patrick's Day, choose wisely.
