Create Your Own Luck

Welcome! I know that as a Beliefnet user, you might be wondering where God, or faith of any kind, fits into a course on creating luck. Are we suggesting that people are completely in control of their destinies and faith is given the backseat? To the contrary, this course presupposes a spiritual viewpoint. Think of it this way: If God helps those who help themselves, what's the part we must do? How must we act and think in order to invite blessings into our life, and so that we do not block the divine guidance available to us? I hope you will join us and dialogue with us on this topic.

When you act on a small opportunity at just the right time, in just the manner that turns it into the opportunity of a lifetime, or you pay attention to an uncanny coincidence and make a mental shift that allows you to see a situation more openly or positively, you are a luck-builder. When you see or hear God's guidance and you act upon it, you are inviting God into your life.

These are behaviors that destroy the luck you almost had, or did have, but gave up or lost.
