She ain't lucky... She's my brother... Xxx

Ok, just for those who could make neither head nor tail of the title, it's just a reference to The Hollies song 'He's not heavy, he's my brother...'

So, one of my friends was telling me about how when she was growing up, it was her sister who was considered to be the 'lucky' one. And she found herself to be not so. But now, after many years of self development, she is now the one to be more fortune and her sister- not so much!

Now to the untrained eye, what happened? Someone get the voodoo dolls mixed up?! Someone stolen her Lucky Charms (General Mills anyone?! Lol).

No, I say! None of the (ludicrous) above! Instead, it was the focusing on alignment and working through the issues.

I know it can seem as though luck may (or may not be) on your side, but it isn't the Gods of Fortune smiling (or frowning!) upon you. It simply is a matter of where you are in relation to who you really are. And the situations which follow are just a match to it.

I definitely would've considered myself a relatively unlucky kid, always missing out on the last piece of birthday cake at school etc! But now, things are generally flowing more in my favour! Not always, not every time, but for the most part. And it's just shifting old patterns. If things go poopy, it can feel like 'Why me?!' But you just gotta shake off that 'victim mentality!'

Richard Wiseman studied luck (I blogged about this ages ago) and he found those who thought themselves to be lucky, spotted more fortunate opportunities. And those who considered themselves unlucky, missed the goodies. Especially when they were hell bent and focused on the goal as opposed to seeing all the wonderful things on the way.

So, my dear friends, you can create your own luck. It is not some external influence throwing whatever in your way. By your focus and intent you can live the good that you were born to!

It can be quite that simple!

Happy luck-ing my loves!

Lots of love, Nick Xxx
