When most people talk about luck it's in the form of something very unlikely to occur. For instance, if someone announces that they're about to embark on some inspired enterprise they'll most likely hear the naysayers comment, “Yeah right, good luck with that pal.” That’s because they don’t understand the truth about luck.
The truth is, luck is a consequence not a cause. Not understanding the cause that produces success, people call it “luck” and build up a belief in “chance.” The statements “Luck has nothing to do with it” and “There’s no such thing as luck” are correct. Luck is the result of our attitude – our mental approach to life. That is the cause. If you want to improve your luck, improve what you think about. Luck is not by accident.
Ever consider the reference to someone as being, “happy-go-lucky”? Doesn't that clearly imply that those with an optimistic and faithful approach to life seem to have good luck wherever they go? They have a confident laid-back attitude because they trust in God. They trust God is for them, not against them. They believe that while they’re doing what’s in front of them to do, God is working on their behalf behind the scenes. While I was in the military, a U.S. Marine Corps gunnery sergeant informed me that, “A smiling man is the indication of a confident man. He’s confident that all things are working together for his good.”
Maybe we should take the time to reflect on the meaning of luck. I consider luck as serendipity. And what causes a serendipitous lifestyle? Having a desire and then believing that God is making all the arrangements while we go about our business. This creates the joyful anticipation of looking forward to unexpected blessings. With this attitude we experience all sorts of seeming coincidences occurring in our favor. We always seem to end up in the right place at the right time.
Every person is surrounded by a thought atmosphere. The joyful mood, of wondering in what unexpected ways our good will present itself, creates a thought atmosphere of success that is an irresistible power. It's all vibration. We attract the experiences in our life by matching the vibration of our desire with the thoughts, words, and feelings we habitually entertain. The thoughts, words, and feelings we habitually entertain determine our experience. Lucky people think about success. They radiate joy, filled with faith and expectancy.
If you want to improve your luck improve what you think about. Gratitude is the law of increase, and complaint is the law of decrease. Simply put, “Some guys have all the luck… some guys do nothing but complain” as the song sung by Rod Stewart goes. It's clear folks, it's either one or the other. You're either the guy or gal having all the luck, or you're the one doing nothing but complaining.
Florence Scovel Shinn states, “Words and thoughts are a form of radio activity, and do not return void. ‘By your words you are justified, and by your words you are condemned.’ Count your blessings. It is the law of increase. Be grateful for what you have, and you will attract more to be grateful for. Nothing comes into your life uninvited. You are always inviting poverty or prosperity by the quality of your thought.”
It's never too late or too soon to enjoy a serendipitous lifestyle. Start now. The truth is you are divinely irresistible. The good you seek is seeking you. Give thanks in advance. Look forward to your good coming to you in unexpected ways. Affirm for yourself; “Now I stand on holy ground and great things happen all around.” Not only will your luck improve, you’ll be the one who improves everyone’s luck when you walk into the room.
