Once you have started developing the habit of ‘thinking lucky’ by labelling yourself as lucky (as explained in Increase Your Luck Part 2), you can begin putting the principle of detached expectancy to work. This can best be described as ‘an emotional affirmation’ which serves to speed up the attraction of luck in your life.
For the benefit of newer readers who may not already know, the emotions we experience at any given moment affect the quality of energy which we emanate. This is because emotion is simply energy in motion. By deliberately experiencing certain types of emotions we can therefore take control of the quality of energy we emanate from moment to moment.
So the principle of detached expectancy is simply this:
Deliberately feel as though you are expecting something good to enter your life at any moment. Do not become attached to this event, but simply look forward to it whilst you get on with your usual daily routine. Also, do not speculate about what form this coming good luck will take. Just be content in the knowledge that it is coming – fast!
By adopting this practice you are calling the new laws of quantum physics into play (which metaphysicians have obviously been using for centuries by instinct). You are charging your personal energy with the expectancy of luck. This expectancy is a pure, unattached desire which actually creates its own outcome. In other words it is a desire which has the spiritual ability to cause its own fulfillment!
The more often you can live by this principle and generate the emotion of detached expectancy, the faster good luck will start coming into your life. And when detached expectancy becomes a habit for you, the good luck will continue to pour into your life – automatically.
The proof is all around us…
Some people may think that the principles mentioned in this short series on how to increase your luck are too simple to work, but the truth is that they are everything. All ‘naturally lucky’ people use these principles unconsciously and reap the rewards accordingly. Just take a look – the proof is all around for us to see!
Look at those celebrities, politicians, actors and singers once more. Note the lucky ones and you will find that invariably they:
1 – Label themselves as being lucky when talking to other people
2 – Label themselves as being lucky when alone
3 – Always look forward to the next ‘lucky break’ just around the corner
The only thing that is currently preventing anyone from experiencing good luck in their lives is the label they give themselves and the emotion of expectancy they hold on a regular basis. Label yourself as unlucky and you will expect to be unlucky. Consequentially, you will attract bad luck or negativity into your life virtually automatically.
But as you have seen, the converse is also true! Start labelling yourself as being lucky, expect to be lucky and in natural accordance with Universal Law, good luck will be manifest in your life just as surely.
So start now. Put the principles I have outlined to work, and watch your life be transformed to one which is blessed by a continual stream of lucky-breaks, happy coincidences and good fortune.
Can you really increase your luck simply by ‘tuning in’ to a different vibrational state? Without a doubt. In fact, if you follow the guidelines revealed in this series of posts then within a matter of weeks or even days you can tune in to a veritable avalanche of good luck. This luck may manifest itself mainly financially, in your relationships, in your career or in other areas of your life, but often it manifest in all areas simultaneously, breathing success and positivity into every part of your life all at once.
What is even better about the principles contained in this tutorial is that they create much more than a ‘winning streak’. Winning streaks come and go, and the very word ’streak’ suggests that the spell of good luck is short-lived. Using the principles herein, however, you will create for yourself a ‘winning pattern’ – a template of life which is actually hallmarked by good luck in all its forms. This simply means that rather than being the exception, good luck becomes the norm as far as you are concerned. The golden rain of positive synchronicity will start pouring into your life and will continue pouring until you decide you want to stop it!
Before I share the principles of ‘tuning in’ to the vibrational state of good luck, I would like to remind you that giving is always a part of receiving. If you want to receive the maximum benefit from this post then give to others by introducing them to the concept of creating their own luck. You could do this by explaining the concept personally or simply by telling people about the information that is available for free here at Create Good Things, but be sure to give out energy in some form. Give, and you shall receive. It is law.
Label Yourself As Lucky
The first thing you must do to start developing a vibrational pattern which attracts good luck into your life is start labelling yourself as being lucky.
We all label ourselves with different things. Sometimes these labels are commonly shared with others – for example when you tell friends, ‘I’m good at that sort of thing,’ or, ‘I’m hopeless at that sort of thing.’ Sometimes our labels are more private, and although we would never dream of sharing them, they are labels all the same. For example, in your heart you may think, ‘I am a terrific lover,’ or, ‘I’m a bad employee.’
Both of these types of labels adjust your vibrational state and cause life to prove you right. For example, if you have labelled yourself as a terrific lover then circumstances and events will manifest which back up that inner label. In other words, you attract the life circumstances which are in tune with the vibrational state of your label.
Having said this, it makes perfect sense that if you want to attract more good luck into your life, you need to start labelling yourself as lucky, both internally and externally.
On the external wavelength, this can be achieved by telling people how lucky you are in life. Look for things which have happened to you which could be attributed to good luck and share these experiences with others to back up your claim. Explain in conversation that you have not only been lucky in the past, but that you will continue to be lucky in the future – that being lucky is a part of who and what you are.
Of course, you should take care not to become boastful when talking to others about how lucky you are. This can be avoided by explaining in the course of conversation that you believe luck to be a trick of the mind, so to speak. Tell your friends and colleagues that you believe we make our own luck by the thoughts we think and the words we affirm in everyday life. Then explain that by telling others how lucky you are, you aim to become even luckier! Have a laugh about this. Don’t take the process too seriously. The important thing is that you begin labelling yourself publicly as a lucky person. And should anyone ever comment or hint that you are unlucky, be sure to throw water on that idea as soon as you can.
So that is the external dealt with. To label yourself correctly on the internal wavelength, you need to talk to yourself consciously as often as you can – both aloud and silently. Get a watch with an hourly chime and every time you hear the alarm, remind yourself how lucky you are. Think of all the good luck you have enjoyed in the past and remember how good it felt. Then tell yourself that you will feel good again very soon, because good luck is a natural part of who you are.
If possible, make these affirmations aloud, as this strengthens their power. Mental affirmations, however, can be used whenever your circumstances deem that talking aloud may attract undue attention!
By carrying out these labelling exercises, you are actually changing the way others and you see yourself. You are developing a habit of ‘thinking lucky’ and once this habit becomes an automatic process (after around 21 days of continuous practice) the luck you desire will have begun to manifest itself regularly.
Imagine the scenario. You are watching television and suddenly the latest lottery numbers are flashed up on the screen. You casually check your ticket and discover that you have all the numbers. You have won the Jackpot and stand to become a millionaire just as soon as your win is confirmed. The rules of your current “game of life” have suddenly and dramatically changed. No longer will you have to think about money and how much you have. You now have the financial wherewithal to focus your mind on other, more eternal issues. And all because of one incredible moment of good luck.
Luck comes in many forms to many different people. As we have just seen, good luck often manifests itself as a financial windfall, but there are many other ways in which good luck can affect our lives. We can bump into people or stumble into situations which benefit all concerned. We can find a book or manual which helps us deal with a specific problem at just the right time. We can make a seemingly random decision which dramatically and beneficially alters our current destiny.
Take a look at the people who live life in the spotlight – celebrities, businessmen, entrepreneurs and politicians – and you can usually see at a glance who is lucky and who is not. People who have good luck experience life as if blessed with a non-stop winning streak. Actors get starring roles in major movies – sometimes after being plucked from total obscurity. Politicians succeed in securing a peace treaty where their predecessors failed miserably. Businessmen clinch deals which secure their success for decades to come.
People who do not have so much good luck have a different story to tell. They often work as hard – if not harder – than their lucky counterparts, but nothing seems to go quite right for them. Actors lose their parts or star in movies which bomb at the box office. Pop stars have arguments which bring their careers to an early demise. Politicians say the wrong things at the wrong times and create more tension where they had intended to create peace.
Examine your own life and it will be obvious whether or not you are experiencing good luck. If good luck is on your side then you will find that everything is working together for your good – often in coincidental or unexpected ways. It seems as if nothing you do can go wrong. If good luck is not on your side, however, the opposite will tend to be true. Everything will seem to be conspiring against you. Try as hard as you will, it may seem as if nothing you do ever works out quite as well as you had hoped.
According to many people, luck is something which is beyond our control. Indeed, the dictionary defines luck as: “Whatever good or bad events happen to a person by chance; the tendency for a person to be consistently fortunate or unfortunate.”
Whilst this definition serves it purpose for most people, it is far from accurate from a metaphysical point of view. The fact is that nothing occurs by chance. Even seemingly random events serve a higher purpose. We therefore need to re-define luck from our more spiritual or cosmic point of view:
Luck is the automatic response to our automatic affirmations about life.
This might sound a little strange to some newer readers, so let us explain what we mean by this. Luck, the seemingly random events and situations which affect our lives either negatively or positively, are merely automatic responses to the affirmations we have automatically (or subconsciously) made about life on a daily basis.
Think of a universal vending machine and you will understand this definition even better. Whatever you put into the vending machine in the form of thought-currency will determine what the machine dispenses at the other end. Insert thoughts and affirmations of how lucky you are and the machine will dispense circumstances and events which are in line with your lucky self-image. If, on the other hand, you insert thoughts and affirmations of how unlucky you are, the machine will dispence circumstances and events which are in line with your un-lucky self-image.
Now it is vitally important that you realise your part in this process. Although the vending machine (which in this metaphor symbolises the universe around you) dispenses negative situations and events to some people, it does so only because these people have asked for such events and situations through negative affirmations. Similarly, when it dispenses huge, lottery-winning piles of good luck to other individuals, it does so only because those people have been emanating huge, lottery-winning thoughts and affirmations.
The universe is therefore totally unbiased. People are not singled-out to be blessed with luck or cursed with no luck. Rather, we ourselves put in a request to be lucky or unlucky according to the thoughts and affirmations we put out on a regular basis, both consciously and subconsciously. The universe then honours that request. Simple.
When you take this new understanding on board, you will come to realise that luck is not a quality which bestows itself randomly on people, but that it is an actual vibrational rate of spiritual energy which you can learn to develop through the continued use of specific exercises.
Consider your thoughts and affirmations as having specific frequencies, much like a radio. If you habitually turn your dial to the vibrations which correspond to negativity, failure and lack then these are the only radio stations you will be able to listen to. However, if you learn to turn your dial to the vibrations which correspond to success, optimism and abundance then these are the radio stations which you will be able to listen to on a regular basis.
