Some people think being lucky will get them success, or perhaps they are not having the success they want because they are just not lucky… Real success, that builds on itself and grows from your passion so it is done with ease. Comes from your focus and mindset.
I just read a post by a fellow blogger and colleague, Cathy Stucker, “Are you as lucky as you think you are”. It reminded me of the quote by Henry Ford, “If you think you can do a thing or think you can’t do a thing, you’re right.”
In Cathy’s post she takes the perspective of being able to change your luck and be ready for good luck when it comes… it lays out 8 strategies to prepare for good luck. I think these are helpful strategies to position yourself to prepare for good luck.
I think this is only the beginning of how life works. Your thoughts are things and create what comes into your life. Often the reason people resist this ideas is because they are not happy or satisfied with their life, and think well if this was really true like the way the law of attraction is supposed to work then I would not have created these things I do not like.
The downfall of this thinking is that the law of attraction is not arbitrary; it is simple, irrefutable, and very practical. Its most basic tenant is that what is likened to itself is drawn.
A simple analogy is to think of the Universal law working much like a photocopier. It duplicates what is put into it, what the mechanism focuses on is reproduced and more of “that thing” is created.
Which means if you are not pleased with what you are creating you are not focused on what you really want. Because you are giving more attention, more feeling energy to the thing you want less of or the thing you have a lack of.
If you went with the idea behind Henry Ford’s quote and for as little as seven days, and focused on what you wanted, kept turning your attention to the good things already happening in your life, the things you liked, the things that made you feel good to think about them…
You would see real results, do it for thirty days and you would be so pleased with your results and be certain of your ability to create your experience.
Lets put this into practical experience for a minute. If you are starting a business and you are not confident then your mind loop will be on worrying thoughts, on a focus of not knowing enough or able to do enough… Or a variety of things that actually have you pointed squarely in the opposite direction of where you want to go.
But if you focus on master success mindset processes and you say okay I am starting out what do I want to accomplish today. You get clarity on what you want, and take inspired action to do that. When you come from I am learning but don’t have to reinvent the wheel, I am getting better at this everyday…
When you have this mindset as your focus and set your intention from there then you will find that the inspired actions you take are creating wonderful leverage for you.
Because the focused clarity connects you with the perfect right next steps. You will be noticing things of value to you with much more ease. You will be in the right place at the right time and attracting the useful tools, ideas, resources, and people to grow your business with ease.
I think of it this way, if you want to be very skeptical just try it for seven days and play with this mindset full on. If you are not satisfied with what is currently the happening for you the only way to go is up by shifting your focus so you have everything to gain.
Let me know what new ideas and results flow to you from doing this.

Great thoughts, BZ.
The thing a lot of people do not want to face is not only that they attract or create the things they claim not to like, they usually do it because they get a benefit from it. They may enjoy the drama, or being a victim, or the attention they get for being the family screw-up or being the person who takes care of every one else or . . .
When you have something in your life you can not seem to rid yourself of, ask what you get out of keeping it. If you are honest, there is probably a reason you are hanging on to it.
You are so right Cathy. Its easy to complain that things don’t work… that the law of attraction doesn’t work for them…
But when you are in the habit of getting a payoff, even if its negative from a habit its hard to move past it. It actually takes focus and clarity on what you really want.
I do believe that a lot of times this payoff is unconscious and that when people look at it and really think about what they want deep down in side.
They decide they are tired of the old habit and pattern and they are ready to make changes and attract what they really want in.
That is why there is so much interest in law of attraction and success mindset now. People realize that it really is costing them just too much.
My coaching clients and tele- program participants are so pleased with their decision to make this change and the results they get emotionally and in financial abundance and success out ways the effort it took to focus.
I like this conversation…the key in all this to me, is to see the law of attraction as our ally. It empowers us and gives us actual control over our lives, emotions, experiences, our bodies..all of it. How we think, and what we believe are chosen and learned…and can be changed! So instead of feeling guilty or bad about where we are now, when we shift to saying “I can create the life I want, the body i want, the love and prosperity I want”, we can make huge changes easily.
My passion is to help people change these thoughts as easily and joyfully as possible and begin to design the life they really want. I love seeing the difference in people’s lives when they change their attitude and beleive in their own power.
My seminars and meditation audios, like are all focused on easy, fun ways to feel good and attract what you want. When you change your mindset and look for what you want, instead of making excuses for where you are, everything shifts. You start living in joy, seeing possibilities and feeling good.
When I learned to release these un-supportive thoughts and beliefs and focus on empowering ones, my life changed. See law of attraction as a powerful friend and just gently keep shifting your focus until it is your habit to see and expect what you want…then “luck” is your daily experience.
