How To Attract Luck

According to Arthur Schopenhauer, “luck shuffles the cards, and we play” . You may have been dealt a bad hand, but you can definitely win the next game. This is because attitude, wisdom, experience and patience can be decisive.

Being lucky is not about winning the lottery or being full of amulets on your body or at home, it goes beyond that. The only thing that can help us to “have good luck” is not a four-leaf clover, but going in pursuit of our goals and objectives. The philosopher Francis Bacon said: “The mold of a man’s fortune is in his own hands” . We cannot believe that problems will solve themselves, nor can we close our eyes and blindly believe that luck will solve everything.

The wind can always blow in your favor, no matter how much you think otherwise. Luck is like a seed. Depending on where we grow it, we will have different fruits. If we cultivate it in fertile soil and water it periodically, the chances of it germinating are greater, and thus we can harvest them. If, on the contrary, we leave it in a sandy land, without water and without care, it will be almost impossible for anything good to grow there.

Six secrets to getting lucky

1 – Get ready: the lucky ones are those people who work to achieve their dreams, they are not people who “have been touched by a magic wand”. Do whatever it takes to accomplish your goals, create the right circumstances to reach them, create intermediate goals, etc. If you are looking for a job, for example, it will not be “luck” that will decide your hiring, but the way to get a good interview at an interesting company. If you’re prepared, you can get the job you’ve always dreamed of.

2 – Change strategy:  sometimes it may be necessary to change the way we see or act in order to “be lucky”. Surely you know many people who, no matter how hard they try, cannot change their destiny. It’s not about good or bad luck, but about knowing how to act properly or at the right moment to change course or direction. Instead of accumulating failures, innovate.

3 – Let yourself be helped: solitude is not good for those who are looking for “luck”. According to a popular saying, she is also a terrible counselor.  Having alliances with other people, asking for help, allowing them to collaborate on your projects or at least giving their opinions is also a way to get lucky. The more hands that are willing to help you, the easier it will be for you to succeed in your projects.

4 – Plot a route: when you are driving on the road in search of good luck, you need to know the exact direction to reach your destination. Seneca said: “There is no favorable wind for those who do not know where they want to go” . Plan a path or route and follow it, so it will be easier to “reach a friendly port”.

5 – Be persistent and you will succeed: another popular saying that adapts perfectly to the pursuit of luck (if, at this point, we can already say that luck is something you seek and not something that falls from the sky). The projects that really pay off are long, expensive, and difficult. If you are persevering, hardworking and do not save on time, you can make all your dreams come true. Make a plan and follow it to the letter, do your best to reach your goal, whatever the cost.

6 – Recognize what is good: often we focus on what we would like to have and not what we already have. If you think you have bad luck, it’s because you haven’t taken a look around. Your family, your boyfriend/girlfriend, your job, your house may not have come out of a fairy tale or a dream, but if you count on all that, you can already consider yourself a lucky person.
