Lucky Son of A Gun
There are always people who will say, “It’s not luck, it’s just hard work!” when you talk about how lucky they are. In some cases, of course, this is true. But we all know those people who are just effortlessly lucky: for them, the traffic lights are always green, the produce is always fresh and bug-free, the best parking spaces always appear, and the phrase “you’re the lucky winners!” isn’t just a pipe dream.
An aura of positivity surrounds them, and luck trails them like an excited puppy wherever they go. We know it’s challenging to be positive all the time, especially if you are not one of the “lucky ones,” but we find it’s true that luck and positivity go hand in hand. To attract luck, you must be positive, and if you’re lucky, you’ll always feel positive!
We’ve searched high and low for some of the best ways to bring a little more luck and positivity into your life. Why not start off the new year on a lucky, positive note by using these tips?
Practice Gratitude
When times are tough, remembering that you already have a lot to be grateful for can be hard. But if you start or end each day by making a list of all the things in your life that you already have to feel grateful for, you’ll pull a lot more positive energy toward yourself than you did before. Practicing gratitude on a daily basis helps make you content with what you have, which opens the door for more to come into your life.
Plant Good Seeds
Everything good starts out small and grows into something truly remarkable. If you’re not at the party, you can never be asked to dance, right? Come to the party by planting little seeds in your own life and the lives of others. Buy a raffle ticket, say hi to that cute person who smiled at you in the supermarket, put yourself out there so that the universe knows you’re ready for bigger and better things. Take some chances, even if they’re small, and you may be surprised at the results.
Try Something New
As the saying goes: a change is as good as a holiday…and who would ever say no to one of those? Instead of trying to get things done the same way that you always have (and the same way that may have failed you before), why not switch things up and bring new energy into situations that you’re trying to change? This might be scary, but getting out of your comfort zone always is. You can’t grow if you’re always running in place on the same old hamster wheel!
Write It Down
Put your goals, your hopes, your dreams, and your desires down on paper. This means that they are real; they are no longer just some intangible idea floating around in the back of your mind. When you write things down, you can begin to plan ways that you might go about getting a little closer to what you want. Keep that representation of your goals close by, look at it all the time, and add to it if you want to. It will remind you that there’s something real out there that you want, and you should never stop striving to get it.
Surround Yourself With The Right People
By the right people, we don’t necessarily mean only people who can help you get closer to your goals ( although it wouldn’t hurt!). We mean the right people for YOU; people who see your value, people whose lives align with yours, and people who have a positive impact rather than sucking up all your time and energy without putting anything back into your life.
There’s an old saying about how you become the average of the people that you’re surrounded by; well, it’s true! You can’t stay clean if you’re constantly surrounded by dirt. In the same way, you can’t stay positive if you’re constantly surrounded by negative people.
Be Open
If you’re constantly sure that nothing good can ever come your way, it’ll become true. The law of attraction might sound like nonsense to a lot of people out there, but it is true that people who are open and believe they are destined for good things are more likely to have those good things come into their lives and know how to handle them when they do.
Final Word
Attracting luck and positivity into your life means you’ll have to act like you know they’re already on their way and that you’re worth those good things happening to you. If you can open your arms to what the universe has in store for you, there’s no end to what’s coming your way!
