Sep 2011: Feeling lucky?
Monthly Coaching Newsletter
Thursday, September 15, 2011
"I feel lucky..."
That you found your soul mate. That you landed that job. That help arrived when you needed it most.
If you're thinking it's luck, think again. You made it happen.
The same event, the same chance encounter, in other hands may have not looked so lucky.
You saw the potential. You seized the moment.
What's more, your positive outlook prepared you to view the world with eyes wide open. Those were your choices, not someone else's. Were you in the right place at the right time? You betcha. Did you appreciate that and take full advantage of it? Heck yes!
When you notice yourself using the word "luck" to describe what's happened, it's a signal to do two things:
- Give yourself credit. How did you set yourself up to recognize this opportunity and run with it? You made it the "right moment" by things you did for a while leading up to it. How you've treated yourself, the intentions you set for what you wanted. Own it.
- Hone it. If luck smiled on you once, it will again. And this time you're even more ready, because you see your role. What can you do now to prepare yourself for what you want to show up?
You know the real key to preparing yourself? Believing you deserve that thing you want.
The most successful people in the world - in life, love and business - know they are worth it. They don't second guess themselves, or give luck credit for their biggest wins. They know their role in it happening, and believe going in that it's only a matter of time. They will make it happen. What they want is within their reach.
September is a great time to re-assess goals and renew focus. This is your time. Believe it.
With your kind of luck, anything can happen.
