"Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it, and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work -- and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't." --Lucille Ball
Did you achieve what you have today as a result of luck? According to Forbes Magazine, in a poll of the 400 richest people in the world, none of them believed luck was responsible in their acquiring their wealth though a small percentage believed it was a minor factor.
Unless you've won the lottery or were left a huge inheritance by a wealthy aunt, odds are you've worked hard to get where you are. If you're a student of mine, I am absolutely positive that you've put a lot of intention, energy, thought and work into your current situation.
I believe in the power of attracting what you what, however and in that respect, I believe I am lucky. My accomplishments in life are by no means a result of luck alone but as a result of giving my lucky side attention, I have noticed an increase. It's like anything else, the more we flex a muscle, the more we give power to something, the more of it we will receive.
Richard Wiseman is the head of the psychology department at the University of Hertfordshire in England. For the past eight years he has studied what makes some people lucky and others not. Wiseman believes after performing thousands of interviews and experiments that he has figured out the key to being lucky. Guess what the key is? It's the same theory behind the law of attraction.
At their very essence, lucky people think and behave in ways that create good fortune and more luck in their lives in the same way that people who consider themselves money magnets (on the positive side) or freak magnets (on the less positive side) are also attracting what they put out into the world (consciously or subconsciously).
Playwright Tennessee Williams said it best, "Luck is believing you're lucky."
As you sow, so shall you reap. Fundamentally, your thoughts, feelings, intentions, deeds, and expectations, good or bad, right or wrong, will repay you in kind (some think three fold or ten fold). I once heard someone say, "I've never won anything. I'm simply not lucky." This person has very little potential for luck because it is their expectation.
I find it interesting when I hear someone say, 'I'm unlucky in love'. If only they knew. . . they'll never be lucky in love if they continue to chant that mantra. If luck in love is what they want, they have to repeat to themselves that they are lucky from here on out.
As I was researching the topic of love I came across a great blog on the subject. "How to Be Lucky" at http://www.problogger.net/archives/2006/03/14/how-to-be-lucky/ has some valuable pointers on how to increase your luck (ironically or not given as a list of 13 factors).
If you've never considered yourself lucky, it's time to reorient your thoughts to draw that to your life.
