Let me start by saying Happy St. Patrick\u2019s Day!\u00a0 And what better day to talk about the subject of Good Luck and Good Fortune? Back to the question I posed in the title of today\u2019s blog \u2013 Do we make our own luck?\u00a0 I am a firm believer that we do!<\/p>\n
The times I have the attitude that my life is full of good luck I find myself looking for the good things to come from everything around me.\u00a0 I am more in tune with my surroundings and I find myself seeking out the lucky situations being presented to me.\u00a0 Not only that, but I find myself more willing to take action on those opportunities that come because, after all, they are going to bring even more luck into my life if I act on them, so feeling lucky gives me COURAGE TO TRY!<\/p>\n
On the contrary, when I go through life feeling unlucky I tend to go through the day unaware of opportunities around me and I find myself shying away from taking risks.\u00a0 In that state of mind I assume the worst of each situation rather than looking for the good, and interestingly enough I find what I am looking for.<\/p>\n
Being lucky is a state of mind.\u00a0 A decision.\u00a0 It is a choice to wake up and decide that your life is lucky.\u00a0 Wake up feeling excited to see what amazing good fortune will be placed in your day that day because you are a lucky person and good fortune can be expected.\u00a0 Feel joy and hope and excitement for what your life is about to bring into it.\u00a0 Then go through the day expecting serendipitous opportunities to be placed in your path and keep your eyes open for them to happen because they will.\u00a0 Notice everyone and everything around you and assume that each person is brought into your path that day for reasons related to your amazing good luck.\u00a0 Be brave.\u00a0 Reach out to people.\u00a0 Say hello and smile, after all you are lucky and lucky people exude happiness.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t put limitations on the level of luck you allow to come into your life.\u00a0 The sky is the limit.\u00a0 There is no good fortune too big for your life.\u00a0 After all, luck is on your side!<\/p>\n
Make this week the first week of your luck filled life.\u00a0 Don\u2019t rush through it \u2013 savor it. Each day you are gathering gold coins for your pot at the end of your rainbow.\u00a0 Each coin will be unique and each coin brings something new to your life so treasure them.\u00a0 And remember to keep your eyes wide open so you will be sure to see the rainbows!<\/p>\n
Have a great St. Patrick\u2019s Day and for heaven\u2019s sake, don\u2019t forget to wear green \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
