You're out of luck... Or are you?

2 Minute Read

Have you ever known one of those people that are just lucky? No matter what they do, luck follows them. Things always work out; when they find themselves in a bind, something magical happens to fix it. Then you sulk to yourself and think… Why can’t I be that lucky?

Have you ever considered, though, that there could be more to luck than meets the eye? A 1998 study once found that people “who take advantage of happenstance have competence, self-confidence, and the ability to take risks.” And Richard Wiseman, the author of TheLuck Factor, says that really, it’s not about luck at all. It’s the individual who makes his own good fortune or bad fortune. So technically, doesn’t that mean that YOU can determine your own luck?

 The Law of Attraction can explain just how you can do that. The basic definition of the law says that your positive thoughts can bring positive life experiences, and your negative thoughts can bring negative life experiences. So, are you ready to change your luck?

Stop self-limiting thoughts.

These kinds of thoughts are those that tell you that you cannot do something. They keep you from reaching your goals. You might have a dream, but tell yourself over and over that it’s impossible. If you think that, then yes, it probably is impossible.

BELIEVE.

What if that dream you once thought was impossible suddenly became possible? Now, what if you believed it could be done? What if you pictured yourself reaching that goal or dream? What if you could feel the joy of the dream coming true? Only then, can you truly change your luck.

Recondition your brain.

Our brains and subconscious minds speak to us. They tell us over and over again whether something is good or bad. When we see something that’s unfamiliar, a red flag pops into our mind. To most of us, that red flag means to STOP! What would happen if you reconditioned your response? What if instead of stopping, you MOVE FORWARD?

Stop and think for a minute. What are those messages that you are feeding your mind? What are you telling yourself over and over again? It’s time to start seizing opportunities. Stop thinking of random occurrences and coincidences as happenstance. Capitalize on those occurrences; you never know where they might lead you. Believe everything happens for a reason. Believe you are lucky.
