How to Be Lucky

Luck is something that millions of people wish for every day. That is why millions are spend for lottery tickets every year in the pursuit of luck. Luck is why there is a Las Vegas—the city of “luck.” What most people do not realize is that there is no such thing as luck!

We were blessed by God with gifts and talents to have and do anything in life that we want. He has given us the power to create our lives to be any way that we desire. Where is this power? This power is in our mind. Everything natural thing that we see in this universe comes from the thought or mind of God. Every invention that we see in our environment came from the thought or mind of man. Humans are god-like creatures that have the capability of creating their own “luck.”

What is the main difference between the poor and the rich? The main difference is in the way they think. The poor think in terms of lack. The wealthy think in terms of abundance. The poor have a “can’t do” attitude and the wealthy have a “can do” attitude. “Luck” is not something that just comes to you; it is something that you create. As it has been said by many, “We make our own luck.”

So how do you get “lucky?” You get “lucky” by changing the way you think. So-called luck happens when preparedness meets opportunity. Opportunity is literally everywhere! You just need to be prepared when an opportunity shows up in your life. People with an abundance mindset rarely, if ever, experience lack. People with a health mindset rarely get sick. It’s the improper use of our mind that causes most of the problems that appear in our environment.

So, how to get lucky? Get your mind off the things that you do not want and set it on the things that you do want. If you want health, do not entertain thoughts of sickness. If you want wealth, do not entertain thoughts of lack. Focus on what you want. Think about what you want. Dwell on what you want. Talk about what you want. Pray for what you want and what you want will gradually appear in your life. You don’t have what you want because your primary focus is on what you do not want. You say that you want to be wealthy, but when you see a bill you cannot pay, you focus on that and cancel out the movement of wealth toward you. You say you want to be healthy, but you focus on the pain that your are experiencing and cancel out the movement of health toward you. The Bible calls this being “double minded.” A double minded man can never be “lucky.” You have to know what you want and give it your full attention. Jesus asked the blind man, “What do you want?” and the blind mind answered, “That I might receive my sight.” The Lord said, “Let it be according to your faith.” The blind man did not argue that he was blind. He simply believed and was made well. Jesus told him that it was HIS (the blind man’s) faith that made him see. That is what we all must do to experience so-called lucky happening in our lives.

Don’t get caught in the trap thinking that you ship will come in. Your ship is already here and laden with all the things you want. You just have to accept them by faith. Believe that what you want is here and it will appear to you.

The biggest problem that most have is an unclear, scattered mind that is full of unbelief and chatter that comes from TV, newspapers, gossip, images of lack, and other trash that comes from various sources in our environments. If you want to experience massive “luck” stay away from sources of discouragement, talks of sickness and poverty, and the like. Stay away for new broadcasts that declare impending economic gloom and new viruses that are on the rise. Instead read good, wholesome books that feed the mind with positive thoughts and your can-do attitude. What I am referring to is a mental cleanse. Our mind needs washed from all the garbage conveyed to us by the naysayer’s of society that feed your fear and feed off of your fear.

How to get lucky? Make your own luck. Get your mind cleansed and set on the things you want and run from the things that you do not want! Don’t spend one moment entertaining things that will corrupt your mind and keep you from your dreams.
