5 Ways to Bring More Luck Into Your Life

Halloween has arrived, and with it the traditional long list of superstitions and weary objects and behavior to avoid. But do any of these superstitions hold water? And more importantly, is there such a thing as luck? Today, I’d like to share five simple ways that you can cultivate your own good luck because the good news is, you have more control over what happens in your life than you may have previously thought.

1. Change Your Mindset

Recently on the blog The Daily Love, Mastin Kipp shared insights that Tony Robbins revealed at his recent seminar. One of the statistics was that in today’s culture, an overwhelming 63 percent of people do not see their futures getting any brighter. 63 percent! The purpose of bringing up this statistic is to prove that if we don’t believe things will improve, we have shut off the engine that will make it possible for things to reform themselves. Our minds, as I’ve stated in the past, are amazing tools that can help us to live a life that is bliss-filled or humdrum. We determine the path by what we believe and seek out.

2. Do the Dirty Work
And to that same effect, if it doesn’t work out the first time, it doesn’t mean it won’t work out the next time. Keep trying, keep searching. If you want something badly and passionately enough, life has a way of rewarding your efforts. Anything in life worth achieving and savoring will require all that you have. It will test you. It will make you believe you can’t have what you desire, but remember, it is simply trying to determine how badly you want what you say you want.

3. Be a Participant, Not a Spectator
Life requires participation. In order to find luck, we must seek it out. And by looking for it, we are required to do something and not just hope and wish that it will arrive. Trust me, it won’t just arrive. On the off chance that it does, most people don’t know how to appreciate it because they haven’t put forth the effort to discover it and thus blindly toss it aside. In other words, put down your fortune cookies, your horoscopes and go make your luck, be curious, give new ideas a shot and be willing to grow because as long as you are growing you will always be living fully.

4. Hone Your Instincts

With each situation in life you gain experience. In each of these instances it is up to us to absorb the insight and take that knowledge with us to the next experience. By practicing this, whether you are questioning the reason for something happening, you are honing your instincts. A revelation with life that continues to impress me is how many aha moments I have now regarding events that occurred in the past that made absolutely no sense at the time. While it is true, some lessons never reveal themselves, more times than not, they do eventually if you’ve cataloged what occurred in your memory. So while in your twenties you weren’t sure why a particular dating experience took place, trust me, there will be that moment down the road when you are thankful that it did occur, because it will prompt you to make a better decision later in life.

5. Dismiss the Idea of Luck

What I hope you take away from today’s post is that luck, by definition (the chance happening of fortunate or adverse events), doesn’t exist. Each one of us creates the luck that occurs in our own lives. By choosing to live, to explore, to be an optimist and take chances, we make opportunities that outsiders perceive as luck.
