Five Foolproof Ways to Turn Your Luck Around By Samantha Fey l How to Make Good Luck

Life, like nature, moves in cycles. We have seasons of plenty and joy where everything seems to go our way. And then suddenly, we have a few bad experiences and before we know it, we’re in a dark time of despair and bad luck. When we’re in those cycles, it can feel that things will never turn around for us. But they do. The bible says, “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven” (Eccl 3:1). So we understand that in life there will be good time and bad times. The wheel of fortune will eventually turn in our favor. But what if something we are doing is keeping that wheel of fortune stuck on bad luck? Is there anything we can do about it? Can we control our own luck? Yes we can.

Work Hard

Studies show that work makes up happy. If you hate your job, work toward getting a new one. If you’re out of work, volunteer at a place that makes you happy. Thomas Jefferson said, “I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more of it I have.” Working makes us feel useful, needed and productive. So work toward a goal that makes you happy every day. If you hate your job, but you want to be a writer, go home and write every night. If your work as an accountant isn’t fulfilling you, but you love dogs, volunteer at your animal shelter to walk the dogs on Saturdays. They key is to feel that you and what you do with your life matters. Work on that, and you will magically attract good luck.
