Have you had bad events happen to you and you aren’t sure why? Maybe you missed out on something that you felt like you deserved, or you lost someone that you cared about. You may have taken a test that you failed or missed out on a job or a promotion.
All of these things might make you feel like the universe isn’t watching out for you and you might wonder why you’re attracting bad luck to your life. Feeling like you have bad luck might make you not try for things, and it can prevent you from getting what you want.
Everyone has had bad experiences and the truth is, when bad things happen, it doesn’t always mean that you have bad luck just like if good things happen doesn’t mean you have good luck. Things happen for random reasons and sometimes even your brain will look for patterns. This is why some people that gamble will look for patterns to see if they have a chance to win.
When bad things happen to you, your brain will tell you that you aren’t lucky, and it will convince you that you are full of bad luck. The truth is though that this has nothing to do with bad luck and sometimes random things happen to random people.
If you feel like you’re full of bad luck, here are some things that you can change to make you feel luckier:
- You Can Control Your Own Life
Some people that think they have bad luck think that they have no control over their life, and they are totally controlled by the universe. They think that no matter what they do, it won’t change the outcome of their life or what happens to them.
When you think like this, you are causing yourself to give up on things that can change your life for the better. Putting effort into things can make your life better and can put you in control.
People sometimes accept whatever happens in life and they allow the idea of luck to control them. They carry around lucky charms or they cross their fingers before they make a decision. When you believe in bad luck, it can cause you to not take the blame of things that you have done and to blame it on fate.
You might begin to blame yourself for what you did and think that you aren’t good enough or worthy because you aren’t lucky like other people. Thinking about bad things that have happened in your past can cause you to feel stressed out.
You need to change this by realizing that you have control over some things in your life. Of course, there are some things that you can’t control but there are many things that you can. When you are looking at people that are successful, you can see that they don’t blame everyone else for what they do, and they don’t blame it on luck. They value their success, and they realize that they worked hard to get where they are.
Anytime a successful person gets a setback, they try again. If you want to be luckier or to feel luckier, you can have the same mindset as they do and instead of getting upset when something bad happens and blaming it on bad luck, get up and make the situation better.
You didn’t get the job? Find a job that you like better and try again. Your relationship failed? The person might not have been right for you, find someone that is.
- Focus on Good Things
Instead of focusing on bad things that happen to you, focus on the good things that have happened and will happen for you. Everyone has good things that happen, and everyone can be positive about things in their life.
Whatever you decide to pay attention to in your life will decide how you feel. You can decide to be negative and focus on bad things and bad luck or you can decide to focus on the good things instead.
Don’t let negativity cause you to have no motivation or to not try to better your life. When you allow negativity to become a cycle, you stop putting the effort into seeing good things happen for you.
Instead of giving up, keep trying until you get what you want. Let your dreams and your goals embrace your heart and let the passion burn inside of you. Build your self confidence and improve whatever you do.
Learn to never give up on what you want and keep working on yourself until you become positive, and you see that the world can actually be a good place for you. Allow your energy and your confidence to increase and don’t ever fall into the victim mentality.
If you want to feel luckier, you can shift your mindset from what has gone wrong to what has gone right in your life. Even if you go through setbacks, keep pushing forward and let your thoughts focus on the good things that have happened. Allow yourself to dream big about your future.
People that think they are lucky have more fun and they reach their goals faster than people that feel that they have bad luck all the time. Those people feel like they don’t believe that they will have a good time no matter what they do, and they also feel that they will never reach their goals.
When you feel lucky, you will have positive expectations and with this positive outlook, you will see and embrace opportunities that are in front of you that bring you even more luck. Even when a lucky person faces something negative, they will see a positive side to it.
Have hope that things will work out good in your life and when you look at positivity, you will see that when something bad happens, you can face it.
- Take Action
Take action and make sure that you are working hard and living your best life. Don’t sit around and wait for luck to find you but decide that you are going to be positive, and you are going to have a strong mindset.
Once you realize that you are in control of your life, you can focus on the good things that you have and the good things that have happened to you and stop seeing yourself as unlucky.
If you want to attract good things in your life, you need to make sure that you are being positive and you need to come up with ideas to get what you want. You can reach out into the world, and you can find that there will be things and people that can help you to attain your goals.
Taking action in your life will increase your chances of getting luckier and you will see that you aren’t facing bad luck like you thought you were. Stop being negative and start doing what you can to better your life.
If you want to have a new job, find a way to learn about the position and to train if you need to so that you can know the job before it ever gets posted. If you’re looking for a new relationship, put yourself out there and interact with other people that are single. Dress nice, have a good smile and connect with other people.
You can attract luck by putting yourself out there and taking action. If you want to stop having bad luck, change the way that you think.
Final Thoughts
It can feel like you are living on bad luck, but the truth is, this is all something that is in your mind. You create your own luck and your own destiny. Change your mindset and be more positive and you can see good things coming to your life.
Let go of the idea that you aren’t in control of your life, focus on changing your mindset from negativity to positivity, take action and focus on the good things in your life. What you put out into the universe you can attract so make sure that you are attracting positive things.
