Strike It Lucky!
Ralph Waldo Emerson stated that the best way to predict your future is to create it.
We all want to have good luck in our lives, it’s something we desire. Luck brings us joy and happiness and leads us down a path of satisfaction. Don’t sit around and wait for luck to come around, or it may never reach you. I want you to sit right down and write your story, which in turn will write your good luck that you have been longing for. The minute you have your story, you will begin to believe those words and they will turn into reality. You must surround yourself with good thoughts to attract that good luck. And when I say surround yourself, I literally mean picture yourself in that story, in that perfect setting right smack in the middle of your lucky streak. Picture the positive words and place them around you. In no time that good luck will come around the corner and stick with you.
Here are some ways that you can strike it lucky!
Believe. It’s time to believe in yourself. You’re probably sick of hearing that but it’s true! You attract the type of energy that you send out. So forget the good luck charms, it’s all in your head. Release positive energy and it will boomerang right back to you. Don’t deny yourself luck, change the way you think.
Gratitude. Be grateful for everything in your life, even if you’re not where you want to be. Sometimes we don’t appreciate the small things in life because they are part of our daily routine, but stop and take a look around you. There are so many things to be grateful for, that best friend who is always there for you, your family, your pet who gives you comfort, food and water, and the list can go on. It is your list, you decide what you are grateful for. It’s important to remember that when you’re feeling down you create negativity and the negativity scares off the luck and what are you left with? You’re left with what you’re feeling right now. Even in those darn situations that frustrate us, it is normal to let it out but always look at the positive side, it could have been worse, right?
Speak Up. Once you’ve created that lucky story, think about it ALL of the time. The more you think about it the more you will start attracting it to your life. Think back to a time you were just a small child. Your mom and dad asked you what you wanted for Christmas but you couldn’t quite decide. So they gave you the wish list! Now your parents probably realize that was a mistake because as soon as they passed it over to you, you got a marker and started circling every toy on every page saying you wanted it. But then, you see the one toy in particular that you want, so you cut it out of the book and post it on the fridge. For days after you go on talking about that toy, what you’re going to do with it, and how excited you are to get it. You’re not worried when they will get it because you know that someone will recognize your excitement and eagerness. And there it is, Christmas morning, the story you wrote is now sitting in your hands.
Fail Forward. You are a failure. We all are at some point in our lives! That’s not a bad thing at all. If you don’t try, you can never succeed. So instead of just failing, try failing forward, it’s like trial and error. The more you try, even if there are several fails in between, you will reach that luck at some point.
We all have those times where we want something so bad for so long and it just doesn’t show up. But the moment we let it go it suddenly appears. It’s important to recognize here that you can make things happen because you are your own leader. I believe one of the most important tips I can give you is to remain patient because things take time, just don’t take your eye off that pot of gold. You are an incredible person and good things will come.
