4 Ways to Create More Luck in Your Life

I finally went to my first meat raffle at the Chanhassen American Legion. I was shocked at the number of people sitting in a bar racing horses, playing pull tabs and enthusiastically gambling for a few pounds of meat on a Sunday afternoon. It was “Meat Mania.” I had to go and “test my luck.” You see I really believe I am lucky. I didn’t win a hunk of meat but had a delightful conversation with a Legion “regular” about orthopedic surgeons! This MD referral was a better win than a hunk of meat.

When I was younger we would search our lawn for hours for four leaf cloves. Do kids even sit outside anymore? Back in 1968 I did not believe I was lucky as looking back I felt we were taught what was wrong with the world rather than what was right with the world.

When did I become luckier?

In 2000, when I became a student of the Law of Attraction. You attract to your life whatever you give your attention, focus and energy to whether it is positive or negative!

How does the Law of Attraction work?

At every minute we are sending out vibes. A vibe is short for vibration. A vibe is a mood or feeling. Every moment we are sending out a positive or negative vibe and at every moment the Law of Attraction is responding to that vibration by giving us more of the same.

Event > Word > Thoughts > Vibes > Result

If you want to change your result you need to change your mood or feeling by changing your thoughts. So let’s use the Law of Attraction formula. Today I got behind a school bus and I was already running late for aqua aerobics. Picture a giant dictionary above your head. You get to pick one word that describes every event. I picked late. My negative thoughts were, “This sucks as Carolyn is my fav teacher.” My vibe was frustrated and the result was I was anxious and if I would have had food in the car I would have eaten it.

I could pick the same word “late.” But my positive thoughts were, “It is ok I will be late, and this may be the only time all day I get to relax and do nothing.” My vibe was I was feeling content and the result…I relaxed and had fun trying to pick out which kids would go with which parents. I stayed in the present “worryless.”

Here are 4 tips to a luckier more positive life.

  1. I put positive thoughts in my mind every day.
  2. I proactively choose my words and actions. And, I believe I am always going to win. (I struggle and I work on this every day.) If you think you are lucky you are. Here are a few examples of “Chere Luck.”   Read more.
  3. I expect abundance every day. The happiest people I know seem to have rituals that start and end their day. I start and end every day with my energy alignment technique and creating abundance for myself and all the people I work with that day.

4. I use positive visualization. Every time I receive a Kohl’s coupon I picture a 30% under the sticker. And, I say I will win 30%. I have received only one 20% off in the last six month. I am grateful.

Do you believe the glass is half full or half empty? I am grateful I just have a glass. I started to sign my emails “Amazingly Blessed” and all day I feel those words. Give it a try. James Allen says in As a Man Thinketh, “Man does not attract that which they want, but that which they are. His wishes are answered when they harmonize with his thoughts and actions.”

So who are you?

How lucky are you? That depends on your beliefs. The way to predict your future is to create it. Dump your Negative Nelly today. Wishing you abundant luck! Write to us and tell us your lucky stories. We will do a prize drawing for all the entries for a Starbucks gift card.

  1. Chere!
    I am a very lucky person. I decided to make the move back to MN to be closer to family and long time friends. I sold my house in a week without a realtor – word of mouth!
    For near my asking price and with my choice of moving date. What a blessing!
    And my family tells me they are happy that I will be close to them.
    Yesterday I went to quilt club and won a pack of fat quarters – what could make a quilter happier? I am looking forward to seeing you again.

    1. Dorry! Welcome HOME!! I think I remember Maury was 59 when you moved there. When do you move? and Where? will you be by me? I am lucky to have you in my life!

  2. Through raffles I have won a boom box (long before iPods), a bike, and even a breast pump! I always buy tickets because I feel like I often win at least something.
