I Make My Own Luck

There’s no such thing as luck…there’s only the work we put in. And the work we put in determines the opportunities that happen. When I did what was right even without doing it for the reward…the things I was meant to find…found a way to me. Luck is an idea that we put into the world that we can sit around and wait for things to happen to us…it’s an idea that we put out into the world that we can get what is ours without putting in the time.

The work we put into the world is like shuffling feet. Have you ever shuffled your feet on the carpet and the more you did it, the bigger the static electric shock you could give to scare the heck out of your unsuspecting sibling? The common mistake is that people think it’s friction that creates the shock…but it’s actually two surfaces coming together and then being pulled apart…or in this case rubbed together…that pulls electrons from one material to the outer shell of the other material. And the static charge is released when the thing holding the excess electrons comes in contact with a good conductor…or material to transfer that energy. So basically…energy happens through transfer of one action to another.

And work doesn’t have to be physical, it can be mental, emotional, spiritual. The more you create motion in a certain area the more you create energies that help you create what some would call luck. But you and I know better, as it’s actually that likened things attract and create more likened things. So if you spread more love you will find more love. If you place more hope into the world, you will find more hope in the world. And the word “find” isn’t the exact word I want to use as it sounds like you just happened upon. So maybe it’s more that you “created” something…and so then, you saw more of it.

The problem is people aren’t patient enough…they wonder why it’s not happening yet, and they give up or get resistance and decide it’s too hard. Think about it like this…the more love you share with the world…then the more hate that will pop into your life. You will be more aware of the injustices in the world because you have decided to be awakened. But it’s not exactly that opposites attract, it’s that opposites will try to put force against what is against it. The bully will try to fight back, as he thinks he is the stronger force, but if you scare the bully…he backs down. And so the more you build up love the more that hate will try to become the wall for love. But the more love you build, the more love you constantly create…then the more energy and power you create which will transfer the force of the bully into something more productive. His aggression will be reversed.

We look at the moment right now…take a look at Martin Luther King Jr., Gandhi, Jesus, JFK, John Lennon, Abraham Lincoln…and I’m sure we could find many more examples of people killed by hate. But the thing is, while their life was extinguished way too early…their message carried on. You couldn’t stop their message. And that’s the power of putting in your unique and directed energy…it’s more than just this moment, it’s more than just the physical instant reward, it’s more than you alone…it’s a connecting to the Universe…it’s a transformation from being asleep into being awakened. It’s the awareness that you are meant to be more and do more…not for the glory…but because it is a part of who you are. You are the message of sharing your essence with the world…not to be known…but to make everyone else know… their power.

Today’s Personal Commitment:
What’s your bully, or what’s your resistance? We try to press against what fights us, and usually we get more resistance. You wouldn’t poke a snarling pitbull, you would find a better way to work with him. You wouldn’t try to train that animal with force, you would work to train him with love and reassurance. When you create a different energy you either transform the resistance into your ally, or it goes elsewhere to bother someone or something else.

Take a look at what you would like to do next year and write down those goals. Then write down what are the resistance forces against those things. And then write down how you can stop fighting them but create better focus and energy to transform them. We do enough fighting in our lives, let’s stop poking at fear, or riling it up, but let’s do something different today. If a wall was in your way, would you beat your head against it to knock it down? I hope not, it’s not very effective. I’m sure you’d find a better use of your time and energy to make it through, over, or around it by creating a different energy. Let’s stop fighting, and let’s find better ways to mesh with our resisting forces.
