The Seven Simple Secrets of Naturally Lucky People
By Charles Burke

We've all seen people who are just naturally lucky. They're the ones who manage to sail through life with more unexplainable "lucky breaks" and fewer disappointments than most people get. Success just seems to come easier for them.

Where most folks have to struggle just to get ahead, lucky people regularly have opportunities just plop down in their laps. Of course, they work hard, but that doesn't fully explain the special treatment that life seems to reserve for them.

It almost appears that they were born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouths. Or born under a luckier star than most mere mortals.

Well, cheer up; neither stars nor spoons are at work here. All they have is seven simple secrets. These secrets are easy little things that you can begin applying in your own life. And when you do, things will start to change for you. Your career will begin to blossom in unexpected ways. And one day you'll realize that now everyone has started calling you naturally lucky, too.

Ready to command more luck in your life? Here are the seven simple secrets of naturally lucky people.

SECRET #1: LUCKY PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IN LUCK
I recently interviewed ten unusually successful business people for a book I was writing about the role luck plays in the lives of successes.

Nearly every one of them stated plainly they don't believe in luck.

In the next breath, however, they told about unending streams of "serendipitous" or "synchronistic" events that routinely happen in their daily lives.

I believe they don't like the word "luck" because it implies there's no way to control it. They've learned that there is.

If you prefer to call it serendipity or synchronicity rather than lucky, that's okay. The message here is not which term to use. It's about what you can do to get these kinds of things happening for you. When they do happen, you can call them anything you want.

SECRET #2: "BAD" STUFF HAPPENS TO THEM TOO
There are several ways to have good luck. The most common (and the most useful) is to find opportunities in problems.

Let's say you and I are neighbors, and our whole city has a common problem. Maybe it's infestation with insects. Or it could be a serious pollution problem from a nearby plant.

While almost everyone is griping and complaining about the problem, you might decide: "Hey, if I can solve this problem, it will help my neighbors, and it can also make a profit for me." Your neighbors only saw the problem, but you looked deeper and found an opportunity.

All great fortunes have been built upon solving great problems. That's probably the most common and the most controllable way to generate your own luck.

SECRET #3: MORE PEOPLE QUIT THAN LOSE
If you knew ahead of time without a doubt that your success was guaranteed, how much would you go out and do?

Would it make any difference in the kind of things you would attempt? How much higher would you direct your aim?

Well, a funny thing happened to me a few years back. I was sitting and feeling sorry for myself one day because of all the failures that I had been through.

Then it suddenly occurred to me that one particular case hadn't been a real failure. I admitted to myself (reluctantly) that I had simply quit too soon. I had quit before I'd really had a chance to fail.

Then I thought of another non-failure. Then another.

And before long, I was buried under an avalanche of similar cases. In fact, I couldn't think of a single time when I had actually kept on trying long enough to fail. In other words, I had never experienced failure in my entire lifetime.

Only quitting.

A realization like that will realign your reality. After that, it's hard to consider yourself a failure because you've never failed. Who knows what you might really be, down inside?

I began to wonder: what would have happened if I had stuck with even a few of those situations just a little longer? What if I stopped being so ready to throw in the towel and surrender too soon? Would I start seeing the number of clear successes in my life begin to grow?

I started finding a new resourcefulness within myself. My "keeping-on" average began to go up, and my "failure" average started declining.

I count that one realization among the most important in my life. Not because it solved a problem, but because it identified one. Once I could see that the problem wasn't even what I thought it was, I was then able to work on doing something else instead.

And you know what? My luck began improving.

SECRET #4: BETTING ON LOSING HANDS MAKES LOSERS
Successful poker players don't play every hand they're dealt.

If you keep count, the hands they fold far outnumber the hands they hold.

That's because a good card player knows the odds for every possible card combination. They know whether a flush beats a full house and which is more likely to occur. Good players don't bet on risk, they bet on probability.

Lucky people are very similar. They know longshots when they see them, and they may bet, but it's a calculated bet.

Lucky people are some of the most tenacious people on earth when it's appropriate. But they're also some of the quickest quitters when the odds don't favor them. In fact, they'll usually opt out of most situations before they even begin because they have learned to recognize and rank opportunities.

What makes a good opportunity? First, does it solve a WIDESPREAD problem? Second, do the people with the problem have enough money to pay for solving that problem? Third, is it easy to reach the people with the problem? Fourth, is the solution a really good one?

If they don't find all four factors, a lucky person will walk away because they know it's a losing hand, no matter how much they personally love the idea.

So if a lucky person sees he's holding a losing hand, he quits quickly and cuts his losses.

SECRET #5: MOST GOOD LUCK COMES THROUGH OTHER PEOPLE
Good luck almost never happens in a vacuum.

Several years back I read a book by Max Gunther titled "The Luck Factor." Most of the details in that book have dimmed, but I've never forgotten the core idea: Most lucky breaks are brought to you by other people.

Few people find significant amounts of money on the street or buried in the backyard. Perhaps even fewer win lotteries. Instead, luck comes more often in the form of opportunities.

You're with a group of ladies (or guys) who are sitting around complaining about how it's hard to find respectable men (women) to date. Everybody is really getting into the problem.

The person next to you leans over and whispers, "Don't you wish everyone would just quit whining?" But instead of complaining about all those complaints, a little lightbulb clicks on in your head. You realize a good computerized screening service for romantic introductions would fill a real need here.

You don't say anything, but weeks later, when you announce the new service, and you're flooded with calls from singles all over the city wanting safer introductions, all your friends whisper, "She's so lucky. Where did she get that great idea?"

You know where the idea came from, but you're not telling.

A great deal of "good luck" is manually created out of discomfort often someone else's.

SECRET #6: GOOD LUCK FAVORS THOSE WHO HAVE PREPARED
Let's say you're appearing in an amateur play in a little theater in your neighborhood. A big-name producer from Hollywood is visiting a sick relative, hears about the play, and for a bit of distraction decides to attend.

She sees a spark of something special in your performance, asks to meet you, and offers you a screen test. Okay, freeze the frame for a second.

Are you prepared for this big break? Have you done all the study and the practice and the foundation work it takes to be a professional? Will you have the technique and the skills necessary to do the job?

Or are you going to try and fake your way through it?

If you're prepared, you're likely to do well. This means a giant step toward your dreams.

And if you're not prepared... well, good luck with your day job.

SECRET #7: YOU CAN ATTRACT GOOD THINGS, TOO
All this talk about finding opportunities in "bad" events and developing your skills is important, but there's a more sunny side to luck as well.

Internet entrepreneur Joe Vitale terms it his "Magic Escalator through Life," and award-winning author John Harricharan has titled it "The Power Pause."

I interviewed both of these men recently, as well as eight other fascinating people, about how they manage to stay so consistently successful.

Every single one of them has techniques for keeping their mind tuned to the things they want. And they attend to this "mind tuning" every day. They're not casual about this. Oh no, they put regular effort into it. Their successes and their luck are not accidents.

If you're tempted to greet this with a dismissive, "Oh yeah, I've read those positive thinking books," then you need to think again.

The hardest part of Secret #7? Taking responsibility for the bad stuff in your life. If you've got uncomfortable situations right now, you'll never have the power to change them until you accept the fact that you created that mess... exactly as it is right now.

Admit to yourself that you created your own problems, down to the last tiny detail, and only then will you take command of the power to change those problems. Fortunately, it's not as impossible as it sounds at first.

Your mind is like a bucket. If the bucket is filled with muddy water, all you have to do is start a steady flow of clear, fresh water into the bucket.

Soon, the bucket (or your mind) is filled with clear, fresh contents.

Steady daily input of clear, fresh thoughts will change the things that appear in your life, without the need for major renovation. It just happens. You work on the inside, and the outside takes care of itself.

This means you don't fight the old thoughts. You give them minimum energy. You don't resist, you don't struggle. Instead, you put your attention as much as possible on the good things you want to appear in your life.

The lucky things you spend your time thinking about just start happening for you, and one day you wake up and realize, "Hey, I'm a pretty lucky person now. When did that happen?"

Charles Burke is the author of "Command More Luck," a book offering powerful suggestions for getting more cooperation from life, luck, and your own mind. Whether you call it synchronicity, serendipity, or just plain old luck, you CAN become more "naturally lucky."


Eight Ways to Become a Luckier Person

It is my belief that luck is something that you can create, rather than that there are just lucky and unlucky people in the world.

If you would like to believe the latter, no need to read further. You can just continue with your old expressions: "I have bad luck" or "Nothing good ever happens to me" or "Good things only happen to other people." And that is what you will continue to create.

However, if you are ready to change your luck, by doing a few simple techniques, which can be significantly amplified through the power of hypnosis; allowing these ideas to penetrate your subconscious mind, then do read on.

8 WAYS TO BECOME A LUCKIER PERSON
Luck is something you create and attract. If you will simply focus on each of these areas for one week each, can you not see how you luck would dramatically improve?

1. Get Ready for Luck: Become more prepared, alert and aware of all those many chance opportunities that ordinarily are available to you that you weren't able to recognize before.

2. Create Mental Alertness: There are an abundance of chance encounters that will come your way. Learn exactly how to make use of them. Create the ability to sharpen your mind and to become more mentally alert with razor-sharp thinking. Make quick and intelligent decisions. Have the ability to act upon information and ideas immediately.

3. Practice Generosity: The practice of generosity attracts luck. Find creative and imaginative ways of improving yourself and to become a more understanding person. Have the confidence to be a good friend toward others, including those whom you did not know before. Improve your attitude and project good positive vibes toward others and you will have pulled more lucky situations into your life than ever before.

4. Get in touch with your Desire: There is nothing in the world that is more attractive to luck than your desire. Find something inside of yourself that you feel very passionate about. That is in alignment with all of your values. There is a desire that is one of the many infinite combinations of all desires that is so special and so specific to you as an individual. Your likeliness of creating luck grows as you are able to touch upon and hone in on those few very meaningful desires that mean the most to you.

5. Increase your Intuition: Of course it stands to reason that intuition plays a huge role in the luck you have in your life. If you are able to tune into that inner voice that tells you that something is good or something is bad you will greatly improve your luck. Enhance your intuition by going into meditation or hypnosis on a daily basis and pay attention to your thoughts your feelings and all of your senses. The more you are able to tune into and trust your intuition the more success you are going to have in all areas of your life, especially concerning your luck.

6. Undo Past Bad Luck: Think about various situations in your life that could have turned out lucky for you, where in hindsight as you look back on these situations, had you acted differently, it would have been lucky for you. Now, replay the scene in your mind, having acted in the way you would have and experience the feeling of that new experience, allowing it to leave an emotional impact on your subconscious mind, thereby created a new path your subconscious mind will now take in the future. Your subconscious will help direct your thinking in news ways based upon the learning that you integrate through that feeling state.

7. Create a Luck Anchor: Create an emotional anchor, charged with the vibration of luck. When you are feeling low or your energy is low you are vibrating at a low frequency. The law of attraction simply states, like attracts like, hence, when you are vibrating at a low frequency you are only going to bring about things in your life that are vibrating at an equally low vibration. Think about the things that make you feel good, things are on a high vibration plane. When you are feeling good, your energy vibration is simply going to attract more of the things that are in alignment with your energy … Anchor this feeling in by squeezing your thumb and forefinger together. Now, whenever you need to access this resourceful state you are going to create, you then whenever you press your thumb and forefinger together and you will feel all those wonderful feelings.

8. Morning Luck Meditation/Affirmations: It's a good idea to begin the day on a positive note, to open you up to an awareness of potential lucky situations and to simply feel like you are a lucky person throughout the day. The first thing you will do every morning before getting out of bed repeat these affirmations: Today will be filled with all sorts of lucky opportunities; I am a lucky person; I experience luck in my life daily; I am learning how to create more luck; I attract good fortune; My intuition is increasing and guiding me toward luck; I feel my luck is changing for the better; I am in the right place at the right time; I enjoy new encounters which increase my chances of luck; Today could be the luckiest day of my life.
