YOU CAN ALWAYS USE GOOD LUCK
Come on now, who doesn’t want to have good luck. To have something good just kind of fall into your lap. Everything you were hoping for all comes together for you. Wouldn’t it be mindblowing if you could actually do something, something you actually had the ability to do, to literally attract good luck to you. How would it feel to experience good luck without waiting for the fickle finger of fate to tap you on the head with a dollop of it. Well, you can. You can draw good luck to you in your daily life with a calm certainty, just as a magnet always draws to it all manner of ferrous metals. How powerful your magnet becomes depends on just how much you choose to commit yourself to the process. You can choose to be a dollar store magnet or a large electro-magnet. The process consists of three things that you can do, starting today, starting right now, to magically induce Lady Luck to cozy right up to you.
PERSPECTIVE
How you view circumstances, events and conditions is of course colored by your conditioning by the society and culture in which you live. Starting in childhood, you pick up ways of looking at things from everyone around you. Nevertheless, when it comes down to the bottom line, you are always the ultimate arbitrer of your perspective. Perhaps the most well known tool of measuring human perspective is the “glass half empty…..glass half full” question. A person is shown a drinking glass. Within the glass is water which takes up half of the volume that the glass can hold. The person is told to state whether the glass is half empty or half full. The response then indicates the perspective of that person. There are actually about a half dozen possible answers to that question that would all be true. The point of the exercise however is to gauge how that person sees life and life’s events……their perspective on what they see. You may believe it or choose not to believe it but, how you look at things, your perspective, can bring you good luck, bad luck or blah luck. Cultivate the perspective that everything that happens to you ultimately brings you good luck.
OPEN
Open your mind to accept that possibilities for good luck for you can come down one of a thousand different avenues. It does not all have to come down those two or three or six roads that you expect. The Imagination of Supreme Universal Intelligence is breathtakingly endless. Your breakthrough that you are longing for, striving for, dreaming about, may just jump out at you from the least expected places and people. Hone your intuition. Pay attention. Listen to it. It is your tool of power but not if you choose not to use it. Your logical mind wants you to always follow its instructions without question but your intuition is your personal pipeline to the Almighty. If you open all the doors and windows of of your mind so that good luck can come in from any direction, the easier it will be for good fortune to find its way to you.
NEW
Ruts. We all get into them. They are comfortable. The thing about ruts however is that the more you travel in the same ruts every day, the deeper they get and the harder it is to get out of them. The Grand Canyon was formed by the endless flow of the Colorado River along the same route. If you want to have good luck, stop today and look at everything you do, everything you say, everything you think and everything you feel. Is there one point during your waking hours, that you can consciously do something differently, something in a way more beneficial to you than the way that you have been doing it. It doesn’t have to be all four activities (doing, saying, thinking, feeling). Just pick one. It doesn’t have to be every waking hour. Just start with one thing during one hour and do it in a different way, if the way you are currently using is not bringing you the results that you desire. Always search for a better way, a way that yields more benefit to you than the way you have been proceeding. Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone. When you shake things up a bit, you can cause a electical charge that attracts good luck. Why ruts are so appealing to us? We are comfortable with them. You will find that the more you are willing to adapt to changing circumstances through new approaches, the easier it becomes. The Universe sees your efforts and ultimately responds with good luck showing up on your doorstep with a suitcase and telling you it’s going to visit with you for awhile.
YOU
Godd luck doesn’t come from a rabbit’s foot or a horseshoe or a four leaf clover or a fairy godmother. Good luck comes to you as a result of you. You. How you think – how you feel – how you perceive – how you speak – how you act – what you choose to believe. You may possess one of the above-noted talismans but their power to bring good luck all comes from you. The good luck comes from your belief that they bring you good luck. The belief is the key, not the talisman, and that belief comes from within you. For heavens sake, just try it why don’t you. Put on your imaginary white labcoat and treat it as your own scientific experiment. Get a bound notebook. Write in it (1) a record of your perspective of how any circumstance you experience can end in benefit in some way. Write in it (2) a record of any new possibilities that arise to which you open your mind. Write in it (3) a record of that one new thing that you did that day. Write it in any way you want. It is your experiment. Perhaps on some days there is nothing to write. That’s OK, just stick with it. Do it for a solid six months. It won’t cost you a single red cent (unless you have to go to the dollar store and pick up a few bound notebooks and a pen). And yes, be sure to meticulously record it in your notebook when that beautiful good luck, both big and small, comes your way. You will be pleasantly surprised. Be forewarned however – you may experience a measure of disappointment in yourself for not doing it sooner. When then happens, just remember the old saying – Better Late Than Never.
One last thing – What about that “lucky pony” mentioned in the title of this post? Well, I love acronyms for remembering things. If you take the first letters of the words – perspective, open, new and you, what do you have – that’s right, the word “pony”.
