How To Grab Luck By His Neck And Never Let Him Go Again - 13 Ways To Lure Luck Into Your Life And Make Him Stay There


Luck. Such a simple word, and yet so desired by everyone. When someone has a great success in life, he is often called a lucky person by some people that don't experience that same luck. Although there are some that seem to attract good luck in a natural way, without even lifting a finger, their number is well under the 1% of the world's population. The rest of the so called "lucky people" are creating their own luck each and every single day.

They don't look back to what other people are saying about them. They know that they are in control of their own lives and luck. They know what to do to get that good luck into their lives and they just repeat the same steps every time they need to. So, how do you become a lucky person? How do you attract luck in your life? Here is a helping hand (actually 13 helping hands :)

1. Keep track of you luck

Keep track of the events from your life. Write down everything that happens and try to make connections between what you did and the results you got. Once you analyze enough events you will begin to see a pattern. You will see that, in every successful event and in any defeat, there are some key points that made that event a success or a failure.

You just have to learn what made you successful in the past, repeat it in the future and you will have luck and success. Also, you have to determine what are the things that don't work for you and avoid doing them in the future. It's that simple, so get a pen and a piece of paper and start attracting luck into your life.

2. Tell yourself how lucky you are

The power of affirmations is well known, so why not use it to get good luck into your life? Affirmations can be your best friend, but unfortunately, for many, affirmations are the enemy itself. People don't realize the power of they tell themselves. If you think you are a failure, you are right. If you think you are a success, you are right again.

When you tell yourself something, your entire body will fight to make it happen. Your mind will search the world for the things that you want and will try to make you better of worse, according to what you think. Repeat this phrase daily: "Day by day, in every way I am becoming more lucky."

Repeat it 10 times early in the morning and 10 times throughout the course of the day. Before you go to sleep, repeat the phrase again, for another 10 times. Do this for 35 days and try to believe what you are saying, even though at first, this will be hard. Put soul into what you are saying. Believe and it shall be done.

An extraordinary book that will change your entire existence by using the power of affirmations is The Greatest Salesman In The World by Og Mandino. There are actually 2 parts: The Greatest Salesman in the World and The Greatest Salesman in the World: Part II The End of the Story Both parts are extraordinary and you should definitely read them at least 3 times (you will see why). You can even get the audio version of the book The Greatest Salesman in the World

This book has been responsable for a shift change in the lives of millions of people around the globe, myself included, so I highly recommend you read it.

3. Be prepared for bad luck

To become a lucky person, you have to prepare yourself for bad luck. You have to know how to read the signs of bad luck. And you have to face the fact that bad luck is present in everyone's life, and sometimes things will just not work as you planned. You don't have to cry or be angry about this. It just happens to all of us.

The decisive thing is what you do with the bad luck. If you chose to turn it into a defeat, you will make this a habit and you will become a defeated person. If you chose to give the bad luck what it deserves and that means analyzing ti to avoid it in the future and then give it a big kick in the but and move forward. Don't loose time like other people do, just take what is good from you bad luck and leave it behind.

4. Absorb knowledge about luck

Read everything there is on this subject: read autobiographies of lucky people and try to see the patterns in those people's lives. Ask yourself: What made them so successful? Are there any things that they all did? How can I do this myself?

The only way to learn is by practicing the theory, so read, write down the important steps and start walking towards your good luck. Read books about luck, read online articles about this, etc. It's a great idea to read about a subject from multiple authors, because everyone has a different perspective and you will be amazed at what you can learn from them all.

A very good book that I recommend you read to discover more about luck and how to attract it into your life is Luck: The Essential Guide

5. Search for lucky people

Reading is one thing, and talking to lucky people is so much better! If you know some people that seem to be a magnet for luck, find a way to talk to them. Ask them out to dinner, send them a letter or an email, try to make them want to help you. Give them something they want and they will help you.

Talking to people that are lucky can give you a great insiders view into the world of success and luck. Take notes of what they are saying and apply them. See the things that these people seem to have in common: these could be their secret weapons.

6. Don't force your luck

Don't start to think that you will win the lottery. Maybe someday you will, but don't force your luck. Take it slow. Make little baby steps until you learn how to walk perfectly. Bringing good luck into your life takes time and patience.

Don't think that if you had some luck here and there, you will be able to win millions. It's just not the way things work. You have to learn the secrets of luck and use them enough time, until you become a luck magnet. Take your luck to a higher level, only when you feel you have what it takes to do that. Don't skip levels or you will fail. You have to have patience.

7. A positive mind attracts luck

Positive people seem to have more luck compared to negative ones. What do you want: a positive mind that attracts luck or a negative one that keeps luck away?

A simple question but you have to fight for the answer. A positive mind is not that easy to gain, especially if you are a negative person. It's hard but not impossible.

The most important thing is to take the decision to change and be willing to learn how to do it and be responsable enough to really do it!In the end, positive people will have more good luck than others, no matter what. It's your choice. It's up to you.

8. Afraid of taking risks?

Don't be. Become a risk taker. Be brave. You need it if you want to be lucky. Luck doesn't come to anyone, just like that. You need to search for it, and when you will be ready he will come. But, until you get there, you have to take some challenges and be open to new experiences.

New things will make you stronger and will take you closer and closer to luck. Who knows what a new challenge can bring. It can bring something not so good, which you will learn from, or it could be a great success. No mater what the future may bring, it's much better that you run towards it and not hide in a cave, like some people do.

9. Share your luck

Help others get luck into their own lives. Don't keep luck just for yourself. Help others be lucky as well. Even if you don't know much about luck, you can still teach someone a thing or two.

Don't be the lonely type that says:"No one has helped me. Why should I help them?" You won't win anything if you think like this. Luck is for people that know how to share with others. Be helpful and good, and give your help to others without asking or expecting something in return.

Luck comes to people that are willing to share it with others.

10. Give credit to your helpers

If others have helped you, be a good sport and thank them. tell others that you've been helped by those people, praise them whenever you can. They helped you and now you are helping them in your own way. Some people just don't recognize that they've been helped by others along the way to success.

It's hard to make it on your own, and usually we can't make it alone. When you are successful never forget to praise the people that put you there. It will show that you deserve your good luck and the success you have. Don't wait to become successful to praise others. Do it now!

11. Who knows?

There was an old man that had a 20 years old sun. One day, his sun fell and broke his leg. He was so upset and angry, and he often said: "I must be the unluckiest man on earth. I only get bad luck" The older man, on the other hand, said: "Let us see if this is bad luck. Who knows what could it be." After 1 week, a war started in that country and all the men that were fit to fight had to go to battle.

Because of his broken leg, the young man, had to stay home. Many people died in the war, but he survived because of his "bad luck". This story illustrates a very strong point: you never know if something is bad luck or not. Wait for it. Try to see the opportunity in everything. Who know what the "bad luck" could bring into your life.

12. Be your own fortune teller

You can't predict what will happen to you in the future, can you? I think you can. There is a way to discover most of what your future will look like. Your future is mostly under your control, no matter what others are saying. You are the one making the choices, pushing the buttons and deciding what o say or do, at all times. No one else is responsable for your actions, but yourself.

This is why you are the one that can control your future. The actions you take today will give tomorrows results. To know your future and to be able to change it you have to learn from your past. Analyzing the past only requires a piece of paper, a pen and some free time.

Make a list of 10 to 20 events that you have experienced in the past. Write the events in the order of their importance and then analyze each one and see what made it the failure or success it turned out to be. In time, you will begin to see some patterns that are mostly responsible for the end results of these events. You just have to learn what works and what doesn't for you and repeat it in the future. Also, you have to know what doesn't work for you and you have to avoid doing this.

13. Bad luck in reverse

What's this? Bad luck in reverse? Yes, it's good luck, you just didn't see it like this. How about not listening to what others are saying about what is and what isn't bad luck? What if you considered bad luck as being good luck? Wouldn't that be a crazy thing? It's so crazy that it just might work.

Whenever you do something that other people say it's bad luck, think of it like being good luck instead. Adopt a black cat. Use the number 13 often (as you can see this article has 13 ways to attract luck, so I walk the talk :), break your wife's mirror - just kidding :) I'm pretty sure that you got the picture. Make good luck out of your bad luck and don't let anyone tell you what to do.

So, how about a reverse?

I like what you have to say about the power of positive affirmations and positive thinking! A list of affirmations is not hard to create and when it becomes part of one's mental furniture it creates automatic behaviour that creates 'luck'!
