Can you become lucky or are you born with it?

I have to admit – I’ve become one of those annoyingly lucky people who always seem to win everything.

At least once a week, I’ll tell my husband or friends “Guess what?!” and they’ll say “What now?”.

I’ve won six months free luxury travel, tickets to personal development seminars, weight-loss programs and even a scholarship to the exact life coaching course I wanted to do.

It’s not just big things – I regularly win bingo with my mum, people give me things out of the blue and I even find money in unexpected places.

I’m telling this not to brag, because I want YOU to get excited about becoming a lucky person. Because I believe that anyone can do it. It comes down to your attitude and deciding that is ok to be successful. Winning can be fun (and addictive!).

How to become lucky in all areas of life

You don’t need charms, spells, leprechauns or lucky horse-shoes. Just decide that you’re a lucky person and then expect to be proved right in every situation.

Yesterday was the perfect example. I went to see millionaire author Sandy Forster at her “Secrets to Money and Prosperity” event in Sydney.

I love Sandy because she talks about completely aligning yourself to success using the Law of Attraction. Thinking about your dreams, believing and most importantly feeling it.

Sandy did several prize draws over the day and right at the start, I wrote down on my pad – I’m going to win everything. I set an intention to win a fantastic prize.

The first prize was “Millionaire Author Secrets”, a home study course worth $997. Writing a book has been on my goal list for ages, so when Sandy called out my name, I was so excited (but actually, not particularly surprised – I’m super lucky, remember?).

Funnily enough, weeks before I had started to affirm I speak on stage with Sandy Forster, so when she called my name, I ran right up to her, so technically I was kind of on stage with her too!

I have written to Sandy several times, always interact with her on Facebook and have been on her coaching programme, but I was still surprised when she said “Oh Denise, you’re such a winner. Tell everyone what you’ve won”. She knew my story!

Luck for me has now become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The more I talk to others about it, the more they believe me and the more I believe it myself. So I keep winning. I can’t stop!

So, how have I become such a lucky person? Was I born with it?

Not particularly and I’m not from a rich family. I was raised by a single mum who has always had a very positive personality, but I never considered myself particularly lucky. In fact, at times I believed the very opposite.

I even had famous astrologer Yasmin Boland check out my chart to see if my luck was “in the stars”. Nope.

Do I obsessively enter competitions?

Not at all, except occasionally when it’s something fun. I enter a lot more than I used to because now I tell myself that I’m a really lucky person, so why not?

Change your beliefs, change your world

It’s my beliefs that make me a lucky person:

I believe in the power of the Universe

I believe that I’ll always get taken care of, no matter what

I believe that I’m the star of my own movie, not a secondary character

I believe that my wants and desires are perfectly legitimate and I don’t feel guilty about them anymore.

Everyone has a river of abundance available to them but some of us have more rocks in our river than others. (You might even have a pile of junk, a shopping trolley and an abandoned car in yours!)

Even though I had a massive money block, I decided to align myself to my desires even though I had no idea about how they would come to me. The Universe found a way around the giant rock in my river called MONEY BLOCKS to deliver exactly what I wanted.

This year I got over most of my money blocks and so I’m attracting actual cash too!

You may have rocks or even boulders stopping your flow of abundance (or love, health or whatever you most want to attract). These boulders might represent things such as FEAR, SHAME, RESENTMENT or SELF-DOUBT.

The universe will always find a way to support you, even if it only feels like a trickle of support. It will flow around problems and resistance you throw in the way, no matter what.

So – it might be time to experience more than just a little dribble of what you want. Why not decide to become a “lucky” person, absolutely flooded with abundance? How do you destroy those barriers?

Surround yourself with positivity

Read positive books, listen to motivational CDs and podcasts and go to inspirational seminars.

Sandy told us she walks every morning at 5:30am while she listens to positive messages on her iPod.

Do body work with a kinesiologist, talk to a coach about your blockages and decide that you are going to destroy any negative beliefs such as “It will work for everyone else, but not for me”.

One of the best things you can do is to join a mastermind of like-minded people.

Take everything as a positive sign that you’re a lucky person. A rainbow, finding a small coin in the street, a friend buying you a cup of coffee, anything! Every time it happens, say out loud “I’m such a lucky person!”.

Be grateful for what you have. Good feelings attract even more good feelings!

What you think about all the time is what you’ll become – that’s why the Law of Attraction is such a double edged sword. So, decide to be a lucky person, blessed by the kindness of the Universe.

Say it enough times, believe it and start to act like a ridiculously lucky person and eventually you will be!

4 Secrets of Extremely Lucky People

Luck, in our everyday understanding, is a random gift of the universe. The superstitious might go in for rabbits' feet and four-leaf clovers and the religious for prayer, but otherwise there's nothing you can do to attract good fortune or repel bad luck. Or is there?
Believe it or not, this is something science has looked into. Experimental psychologist Richard Wiseman has spent over a decade investigating whether lucky and unlucky people actually do anything differently.
To do this he used a newspaper advertisement to solicit hundreds of volunteers who felt they were exceptionally lucky or unlucky then conducted a series experiments to determine what, if anything, set one group apart from the other.
It turned out that, when it came to the difference in outcomes between the two groups, divine providence and random chance had little to do with it. Instead, lucky people had a particular outlook and way of operating in the world that maximized the chances of happy coincidences occurring. Wiseman breaks this outlook down into four principles on his website:

Maximize Chance Opportunities Lucky people are skilled at creating, noticing and acting upon chance opportunities. They do this in various ways, including networking, adopting a relaxed attitude to life and by being open to new experiences.
Principle Two: Listening to Lucky Hunches. Lucky people make effective decisions by listening to their intuition and gut feelings. In addition, they take steps to actively boost their intuitive abilities by, for example, meditating and clearing their mind of other thoughts.

Principle Three: Expect Good Fortune. Lucky people are certain that the future is going to be full of good fortune. These expectations become self-fulfilling prophecies by helping lucky people persist in the face of failure, and shape their interactions with others in a positive way.

Principle Four: Turn Bad Luck to Good. Lucky people employ various psychological techniques to cope with, and often even thrive upon, the ill fortune that comes their way. For example, they spontaneously imagine how things could have been worse, do not dwell on ill fortune, and take control of the situation.

You might be thinking that Wiseman's principles are all well and good, but that people's ability to adopt them is basically a function of their personality and difficult to change. If you're a worrywart by nature, for instance, can you really teach yourself not to dwell on bad fortune? Can control freaks learn to break their routines and embrace chance encounters?
Yes, says Wiseman in an article for Skeptical Inquirer (download the long, fascinating read here). In it he described operating "luck school" that actually had an impact on increasing participants' good fortune:

I explained how lucky people... create good fortune in their lives, and described simple techniques designed to help them think and behave like a lucky person. For example... without realizing it, lucky people tend to use various techniques to create chance opportunities that surround them, how to break daily routines, and also how to deal more effectively with bad luck by imagining how things could have been worse. I asked my volunteers to spend a month carrying out exercises and then return and describe what had happened. The results were dramatic. 80 percent of people were now happier, more satisfied with their lives, and, perhaps most important of all, luckier.

Of course, it's worth noting that some bad luck is just random. If an out of control skier breaks your leg the day after you broke your arm tripping over the neighbor's dog, you are not to blame for your injuries. But luck can have such a dramatic impact on our lives, from a chance meeting with your future spouse to a coincidental business connection that results in a million dollar deal, that it's reassuring to know it's not totally beyond our control.
Do you believe lucky people make their own good fortune?

Father’s Gift Makes Daughter A Winner For Life

Manalle Earnhardt of Salisbury, North Carolina, will get $1,000 A Day for the rest of her life thanks to her dad, who gave her a ticket that won the top prize in the Lucky For Life game.
The ticket made Earnhardt the first person in North Carolina to win the game’s top prize. It beat the odds of 1 in 30.8 million in the Thursday, Oct. 20 drawing to win $1,000 A Day For Life.
Earnhardt said her dad buys lottery tickets for her and her brother on a regular basis, but she never expected to win.
“He likes to play,” Earnhardt said. “He wants to see us enjoy playing as well. This is so surreal.”

Her dad owns The Crossroads on Bringle Ferry Road in Salisbury, but stopped by the Fast Stop on Andrews Street to get the $2 ticket.
Earnhardt found out she had a winning ticket when her dad called her the next morning.
“At first I thought something bad had happened,” Earnhardt said. “When you’re dead asleep, that’s the first thing you think.”
But then her dad told her to check her ticket.
“You look at those numbers and you’re not sure if you’re looking at them right,” Earnhardt said. “You think, ‘How can this be?’”
After learning she won, Earnhardt called her husband and then went to work at the VA Medical Center in Salisbury where she’s spent the last ten years as a nurse in the emergency room.
“It still didn’t seem real at that point,” Earnhardt said.
It started to when she claimed her prize on Wednesday. Earnhardt had the option of taking a lump sum of $5.75 million or the annuity prize of $365,000 a year. She chose the annuity, and received her first annual payment. After federal and state tax withholdings the win amounted to $252,763.
The prize is guaranteed for at least 20 years to the winner’s estate or heirs. That means Earnhardt, who just turned 39, will receive at least $7.28 million. The annuity payments will continue for the rest of her life, which means she could receive $10.9 million over thirty years or $14.6 million over forty years.
Even though she won the prize of a lifetime, she plans to work until retirement.
“I love what I do,” Earnhardt said. “I didn’t serve in the service, so this is my way of giving back to the veterans.”
While she plans to keep working, she said winning the top Lucky For Life prize is a big stress reliever.
“I don’t have to worry about retirement now,” Earnhardt said. “I don’t have to worry about college for my two boys, or all of these other things. It’s nice to know it’s taken care of.”
While all of these things are long term, Earnhardt plans to get a pool in the near future.
Jamil Isbanioly, Earnhardt’s dad, couldn’t be happier about the win.
“I’m so excited for her,” Isbanioly said. “This is the best thing to give to my kids and make them happy.”
To win the top Lucky For Life prize, the ticket matched all six numbers drawn. Players have 10 ways to win a prize playing the game. In the nine months since tickets went on sale in North Carolina, nine players have won the game’s second prize of $25,000 A Year For Life.
In all, 21 lotteries offer the Lucky For Life game. Drawings are held every Monday and Thursday night.
Ticket sales from games like Lucky For Life made it possible for the lottery to raise more than $634 million for the state last year. For details on how that money is benefiting all of the counties in North Carolina click on the “For Education” section of the lottery’s
