Here's
a flash - luck depends on your attitude.
It has nothing, ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING, to do with the
day and time you were born, the way you set your house
out according to the ancient Chinese person Feng Bullshi,
a lucky talisman from an unpronounceable town in Saudi
Arabia or a chunk of crystallised formica from Coober
Pedy.
Luck
is what you make it. Practise being lucky but bear
in mind that practise is not the whole answer. No
amount of practise is ever going to make me a champion
jockey. Even the midweek high weight handicaps come
with limits!
Are you
good at assessing a race on exposed form? Would you
be better if you gave yourself more real time to perfect
the art? Then what are you doing? Luck favours people
who've done the preparation.
If you
expect good things to happen - they will. Similarly,
if you expect bad things to happen - they will. Tell
yourself what you can do (with COMPLETE honesty
as only fools lie to themselves) and then DO
IT. A lot of people in business who "struck it
lucky" were only listening to their intuition
- most of which was based on facts they subconsciously
absorbed from observation.
The record
company exec who signed Lady GaGa to his label wasn't
doing so because he/ she "only backed last start
winners". Lady Gaga never won American Idol of
The X Factor but the guy or girl who signed her "felt
something". It was probably based on years of
observation and experience that formed his/her intuition
and said "yeah, let's go with it". Don't
ignore your intuition.
Intuition
is mostly your subconscious brain's analysis of any
given situation based on your past experiences.
The brain is a marvellous
thing and reacts and responds to the stimulus you
feed it. If you keep thinking and telling people about
your "bad luck", what do you expect is going
to happen? Yes - exactly. Words reinforce beliefs.
Just read that again - words reinforce beliefs. And
this of course makes it almost impossible to change
beliefs if you keep telling yourself negative stuff
about your punting, relationships and life in general.
Now without skating off
in to the woopsie-polly-doodle world of pseudo spiritualism,
you can control what your mind thinks about you and
good luck. Mind control is just another way of using
words to change the way you think about your fortunes.
Say the following words
to yourself - no one else needs to know what you're
doing - just try it. If you say them to yourself often
enough AND BELIEVE IN THEM - you will change your
whole attitude from perhaps one of negativity to positivity
about what you are, what your trying to achieve, how
you're trying to get there and who you are.
"I succeed in what
I do" / "I trust life and its processes"
/ "I have abilities that help me reach my full
potential" / "Nothing is impossible".
Now these words mightn't
suit you or the way you think or talk. It's important
that the positive words are said in language that
you use every day or your brain won't absorb them.
Write your own. But mean them when you say them.
Will saying these words
get you the quaddy this afternoon and change your
life? Maybe. Maybe not.
Will they make you a better person and more fun to
be around. Absolutely.
Will you feel happier and attract that elusive "good
luck". Surprisingly, most likely.
Oh, and words are free
to try as you please.
