Creating Luck

Have you ever thought about how some people are lucky and others aren't.  I hadn't considered myself a lucky person until I started working with spirit and I recently discovered why.  A study of lucky and unlucky people was recently completed and it was found that lucky people have a more positive outlook, among other things - that is, they create their own luck...Read the full story here.

Much like the Law of Attraction, the more lucky we are the more we are actually directing our own actions through our outlook.  So, I thought this week it would be useful to talk about why some of us are better at positive outlooks than others!

One thing I have learned through the channeling work I do is that it all comes back to what we were taught as children, if our life experiences changed those teachings in any way and how much work we have done on ourselves since then!  That is, have we trained ourselves or healed ourselves enough to have a positive outlook?

Luck isn't really random at all.  It is a very focused and conscious interaction with our experiences - are we willing to say that the glass is half full or do we assume it's half empty?! Are we willing to get back up after we have fallen down and just assume it doesn't matter - so-called failure always teaches us something anyway...

Working with Spirit has certainly trained me to have a better outlook on life - to feel and see that everything really does work out in the end, no matter how bad it looks in the moment.  I have learned to trust and the more I hold out that trust the better things seem to get.  I have "chance" encounters with people who have just the right information for me all the time!  And this isn't because I have any kind of special skill.  I just assume that the right inormation will come to me as I need it... and it always does.

Working with Spirit adds another element to this though - they can remind me to keep my thoughts up high when I feel like be grumpy or annoyed about something! They have always reminded me that it's ok to be upset, but I need to let it go too and refocus on why or how I can still come out of the situation with a positive outlook.

So, here are my Spirit Guide's tips for becoming a lucky person:

1. Teach yourself to think positive about what you deserve from life.  Positive thoughts are innate to our human world, but are covered up by doubt, fear and anxiety.  So, you need to work to uncover these and make them the first thoughts you have in each morning and the last thoughts you have each day. Use affirmations, mantras, or incantations daily until you feel the energy of success or luck moving through you. This isn't an instant process but if you give yourself some time and uplift yourself through a willingness to change your mind - you will get ahead.
2. Never assume anything wont work!  If you think something is doomed to fail even before you begin, you wont put the energy into making it succeed. Lucky people always assume a good outcome. Even if that seems completely irrational or unreasonable to others.  Mountains aren't climbed with rational thought - there is an assumption that the human will can go above and beyond reasonable conditions!
3. You don't have to be 100% positive - but 98% is a good aim.  Ego or fear-based thoughts will always be around but you can catch them and turn them into something else.  If you begin to feel that nothing is working, force yourself to focus on the small successes you've had and keep focusing until the fear-based thought roll away.

Here are a few affirmations you can use to turn frustration into luck:

• I am aware of my thoughts and create positive outcomes for myself at all times.
• I am always in the right place at the right time.
• I have the will and the drive to move my life into the positive realm of luck.

To create luck you really just need to assume a position and perspective of  positivity - everything will be just fine.
