How You Can

Create Luck In Everyday

Life

Creating luck in everyday life

is not about carrying a

rabbit’s foot around with you,

avoiding black cats or wearing lucky

pants. There is one main difference

between people who are lucky and

unlucky—and that’s their mindset.

People who seem to have all

the luck are not usually blessed

by an outrageous amount of good

fortune. They simply have a healthy

attitude, which enables them to

capitalize on situations. Those who

are closed minded and negative simply

don’t allow as many good things

into their lives, or if good

things appear, they don’t even

recognize them.

Having a positive way of

organizing your thoughts allows you to

create your own luck in everyday

life. Here are 11 top tips for

creating your own luck.

Focus On What You

Want

Whatever you focus

on, you tend to get more of.

Have you ever broken a limb,

and suddenly noticed how many other

people there were walking around on

crutches or with plaster casts? It

wasn’t that there were suddenly

more people having accidents, it was

that you were noticing them more

because that’s what you were

paying attention to. Many people spend

time thinking about what they

don’t want—and, lo and behold,

that same horrible stuff keeps showing

up in their lives. If you pay

attention to what you do want

instead, you’ll end up becoming

more aware of avenues to getting

it.

Be Flexible

Closed-minded

people don’t often come up with

solutions, because they see only one

way of achieving something, and if

that doesn’t work out, they

just give up. If you open your

mind to alternative options and

possibilities, you’ll find that things

start working out where you thought

they wouldn’t. It seems like

luck, but it’s your open-mindedness

and flexibility that allowed it to

happen.

Be Determined

Many

celebrities, tycoons and business owners

are called lucky, with everyone

assuming that they got a break

to be where they are now. But

often success is down to determination

rather than luck. If you work

hard and do the right things,

it will be acknowledged, and you

will be rewarded with more luck

in everyday life.

See the Good in the

Past

It is easy to

believe that you never have any

luck in everyday life if you

don’t seem to be getting any

breaks. People sometimes bemoan their

past for holding them back. They

blame their parents, their schooling

or their background for not setting

them up for success. But having

had a difficult life gives you

unique lessons and develops strengths

and qualities you might never have

had if you hadn’t been through

tough patches. Be grateful for the

good that came from your past.

Try Something

New

Luck doesn’t just

happen upon us—it comes to us

when we’re open. Trying something

new is a great way of getting

more opportunities. Learning a new

skills, visiting a new place, or

trying a new hobby are all

great ways of expanding your

opportunities and your mindset.

Be Grateful For What You

Have

Some people are

already lucky, and they just

don’t know it. Instead of

focusing on what’s lacking, look

at how lucky you already are.

You no doubt have some wonderful

friends, family, a roof over your

head and food on the table. By

acknowledging these things regularly, you

can instantly feel more lucky.

Network

The more

people you connect with, the luckier

you will be. Knowing different people

can get you access to skills,

opportunities, connections and more. You

never know what wonderful chances each

individual could bring to you or

how they might enrich your life,

until you get to know them.

Be Generous

If you

ever want other people to give

you opportunities, you have to

consider what sort of vibe you

are putting out into the world.

You can not expect to receive

if you never give. Be generous

with your time and attention, and

you’ll be surprised how many

lucky opportunities people may offer

you.

Ask For

Help

Sometimes people would

be prepared to help us out, if

they only knew what we needed.

If you need a hand with dealing

with something, rather than waiting

for someone to offer you a

lucky break, take the initiative and

ask them if they will help you

out.

Be Positive About the

Future

People who view the

future as threatening, dangerous or

uncertain are unlikely to draw any

luck to them. Having a negative

view of what is to come makes

you likely to be mentally and

emotionally withdrawn into a place

where you won’t even see any

lucky opportunities. Be positive and

excited about what they future may

hold, and you should find many

lucky opportunities on the horizon.

Take Action

You’ll

never create any luck if you

sit there waiting for it to

fall into your lap. Take steps

towards your goals and dreams and

greet every challenge with a positive

mindset. You will find you create

more luck in everyday life.
