Do you consider yourself lucky?
Do you know someone you think of as having all the luck, and you call them a lucky duck?
It’s interesting how we view luck.
Some say luck is preparedness meeting opportunity.
There’s also the expression “born under a lucky star.”
Some people seem to have the Midas touch and all they touch turns to gold. They seem to get lucky breaks followed by more lucky breaks.
I DO consider myself lucky.
I have abundant health, a profession I enjoy and wonderful relationships.
While I’ve had my share of lucky breaks and serendipity, I must admit that I do feel like I also go out and MAKE my luck.
How?
Glad you asked!
Here are some ideas as to how I approach creating my good luck:
1. Get out there. I admit, my naturally outgoing personality makes this one look easy but I still have to practice getting out there. The more you do this the more you’ll come across opportunities and the helpful people who go along with those opportunities.
Meet new people. Learn something new about the people you already know. Ask questions. Develop a curious nature.
Put yourself out there so that luck will find you!
2. Go with your gut. Trusting and believing your gut reactions to life can be helpful. Our instincts can guide us.
There’s the intellectual approach to life, which has its place, but don’t forget to make room for your instincts to help you make decisions.
Start to notice if your luck comes from the times you let your gut be your guide. This will help you trust your gut feelings in the future.
3. Grab the silver lining. If you think of those people you consider lucky, I’ll bet one trait they have is making lemonade out of lemons.
They seem to find something positive to take out of every situation, even when they are out of luck. Misery loves company, and lady luck does too.
Fortune seems to go to the fortunate, so find some positive aspect you can focus on in every situation and create your own luck.
These 3 G’s: get, go and grab, can be applied to all aspects of your life.
Want better health, want to enjoy your life more or want to feel more fulfilled in your relationships?
Work with these three approaches and see if you find more opportunities meeting with your preparedness. I’m betting on lady luck that you do!
