Five steps
to becoming a Luck Magnet
Luck - that
special, elusive something - an invisible, powerful magnet that attracts
success, money and love. We all want
it, but how do we get to have more of it in our lives? And why is it that some of us are lucky and
some aren’t? Some call it a ‘nose for
business’, other’s acting on a hunch that paid off or simply getting an
abundance of the right ideas. Richard
Branson and Simon Cowell are well known billionaire entrepreneurs who left
school without qualifications, and acted on their instinctive hunches, taking
risks others daren’t take to get the lucky results they desired. You might say it was their background that
helped, but there are many lucky people who despite the difficult circumstances
they were born with, turned their lives around using a bit of special know
how. Nicholas Vujicic, the Australian
motivational speaker who travels around the world with his philosophy, ‘No
arms, no legs, no worries,’ is one such person.
They might not have realised at
the time how they did it, but they did – and ultimately it all comes down to
the same techniques. And as someone who
got a so called ‘lucky’ break into journalism working for mainstream newspapers
despite having left school at fifteen, and then landed a five figure book deal within
a month, I can now give you my five step guide to attracting more luck.
1. DISCOVER YOUR GOAL. There’s a lot of truth in the saying, ‘you
can’t get what you want, until you know what you want.’ So what are you trying to achieve? Do you want to get a book deal, buy a dream
house or meet your soul mate? Focus on
what you want. Successful people always
have goals that they can work towards.
2. WRITE DOWN AN AFFIRMATION, in the
present tense. For example, ‘money is
flooding into my bank account’, or ‘I am in a loving relationship with a
like-minded partner,’ or ‘I am living in my dream house.’ Stick it somewhere you can see it: on your
fridge door, your bedroom door, or your desk.
By focusing on what you want and not what you don’t want, you change
your attitude. Thoughts are energy. So if you are negative, this affects your
body language, your tone of voice and your ‘vibe’ – meaning the atmosphere you
give off. But if you focus on what you
want, acting as if it’s already happened, then you will give off an electric, happy
energy that will attract people to you.
3. VISUALISE YOUR OUTCOME, in the
present tense for ten minutes a day. I
say present tense, because the subconscious mind doesn’t understand past or
future, it only understands the NOW. So
you need to visualise as if it’s happening now.
The subconscious also doesn’t
understand the difference between what’s real or imagined. So in the same way you will feel a rush of
adrenaline by watching a horror movie or
having a bad dream, your body will also respond to the positive feelings of
excitement and happiness. So it’s important
to engage all your senses to make it as vivid as possible, so that when you see
yourself getting that great job or feeling richer, you get a sense of smell,
feeling of excitement, what you’re wearing, where you are, and what you can
taste, to create a tangible image. This
then becomes a living thought form in your energy that can attract what you
want to you as in the law of attraction – like attracts like.
4. LISTEN TO YOUR GUT – visualising also
means that you expand your mind energy, and go into a deeply relaxed state, and
this enables you to connect with your innate intuition. We are all intuitive but with busy lives we
just don’t pay attention. So write down
your dreams, listen to your nagging hunches, and when you get the flash of an
idea, write it down. And then act! Don’t
wait. Because our inner voice often
knows how we should reach a goal long before our rational minds can analyze it.
5. TRUST – Once you are focusing,
visualising and acting on your hunches, you need to do something very simple –
trust! Trust and let go of the outcome, knowing that you have put your energies
out there and that synchronicity and coincidence will lead you to your
goal. When you trust, you enter into
the a state of Grace, where something magical can take over, and you allow
everything to flow.
