In this post, you will discover 8 strategies to help you get good luck. Having luck is not just about chance, but also about the mindset and actions you take to create opportunities and positive outcomes in your life.
There are several techniques you can do to increase your luck, but the single most important technique I use is called “Just my Luck” and it is number 1 on the list.
I have had so many lucky events happen in my life from using this technique. I have taught it to my students and it works incredibly well for anyone who brings the “Just my Luck” practice into their lives.
Let me show you how.
To increase your luck, try the following:

1. Program your mind for luck
One of my favorite ways to work with the energies of luck is to say “just my luck” whenever something good happens.
My friend Jim and I first started using this expression half-jokingly when we sailed together on the straits of the Pacific Northwest in Canada. Whenever we had good weather and the wind was good and propelled us along, with big grins on our faces we would chime together: “Just our luck!”
I then started using it in other areas of my life. Every time something good happened to me I would say, “Just my luck!” It became a habit, a ritual. And after a few months of doing this, something rather remarkable happened.
I began thinking of myself as lucky, and as living a charmed life. Without even realizing what I was doing, I actually became what I was describing to myself.
And now, as a result of having imprinted this empowering belief hundreds of times, I am a very lucky person. Unexpected lucky events happen to me all the time.
So whenever something good happens to you, even if it’s as small and insignificant as finding an empty parking spot, you say: “JUST MY LUCK!”
The key is to remind yourself every day that you are lucky.
Acknowledging the good luck in your life will help you vibrate the energy of luck and attract circumstances and things of similar energy into your life.
2. Be proactive
Take the initiative to create opportunities for yourself by seeking out new experiences, and expanding your horizons.
Put yourself out there and try new things. If you have a goal or dream, take steps towards it. Be proactive in seeking out opportunities that can help you reach your goals.
Luck favours those who take action; fortune favours the bold. When you put yourself out there, you attract opportunities. You effectively tell the universe: “Hey, I’m here! Send more luck my way!”
3. Be prepared
Have you ever heard the saying: “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity?” Luck comes to those who are prepared.
So get ready to take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way by educating yourself and developing new skills.
This is like doing your homework while the next opportunity presents itself so you have everything you need to seize it when it comes.
4. Stay positive
“He who says he can and he who says he can’t are both usually right”, said Confucius.
Your mindset plays a big role in your luck. A positive attitude will attract more positive experiences into your life.
So focus on the positive aspects of your life and try to stay optimistic.
When you face a difficult situation, try to reframe it by asking yourself: “What’s the opportunity here?” The answer won’t always be clear, but it will help you train your mindset.
With practice, you will soon become the person who sees the glass half full and always seems to get good luck.

5. Be persistent
Luck may not strike the first time you attempt something – or the second time. But if you keep trying and keep a positive mindset about the process, it’s only a matter of time before luck favors you.
That’s why it’s important to not give up and maintain faith in the outcome you desire.
Don’t let challenges deter you. Learn from successful salespeople who embrace and seek rejections, for they know it brings them closer to their goal.

6. Be open to opportunities and new experiences
You never know where and when luck will strike.
So it’s important to stay open to new ideas, perspectives, and experiences, and be willing to welcome everything life has to offer.
Be willing to try new things and meet new people. Say “yes” to invitations and take advantage of opportunities that come your way.
My brother Tom once organized a hockey event for our family, booking a private box for a game. The arena was packed with twenty thousand hockey fans.
There is a raffle that happens at hockey games where the prize is one-half of the gross money received from the sale of the raffle tickets at the game.
I bought a few tickets.
Guess who won the 50/50 draw that night? I took home almost ten thousand dollars. Now when there is a raffle, I always participate.
7. Practice gratitude
Gratitude will help you focus on and appreciate the good things in your life and attract more positive experiences. And when you vibrate the emotion of gratitude, the universe just gives you more to be grateful for.
So take time to reflect on the things you’re thankful for, express gratitude regularly, and see your luck increase.
8. Challenge negative thoughts
Negative self-talk negates everything else I’ve written about in this post. They prevent you from feeling grateful. They cause you to give up on your dreams. They make you say no to opportunities that would transform your life.
Thankfully, we know how to stop and replace negative thoughts.
One way is to challenge them by looking for evidence to the contrary. We share four additional ways to stop negative thoughts in this post.
Conclusion
I like to say that life is 90% of how you perceive it and 10% is life’s mysteries. Luck is part of that 10% of life’s mysteries.
Open yourself up to new opportunities and experiences that can lead to your success and good fortune. Pursue your passions, take on new challenges, and make bold decisions that align with your goals and values.
You may not necessarily know when it will arise but by taking proactive steps and creating opportunities for yourself, you can increase your chances of having random experiences of luck.
Good luck!
