What would happen if you were embrace a “Lucky Girl” mindset?
More to the point, perhaps, what are your thoughts and feelings about luck in the first place?
Lucky Girl Syndrome
There’s a new trend going around called Lucky Girl Syndrome, and it’s centered around the following affirmation:
“I’m so lucky. Everything works out for me.”
In today’s video, Margarita Nazarenko explains that the idea of Lucky Girl Syndrome dictates that no matter what happens in your life, you feel lucky and that luck and good things gravitate towards you.
In other words, you believe that everything good happens in your life.
Everything Happens for Your Greater Good
But I think, perhaps, it’s even more powerful to reverse the order of those words. What if we believe this:
Everything that happens in your life is for your good.
Tony Robbins teaches it this way: life is always happening for you, not to you.
This belief helps you keep going through disappointments and setbacks. It gives you the tenacity to persevere and keep trying until you find achieve what you want in life.
Mindset Over Manifestation
I believe that Lucky Girl Syndrome is more about mindset, rather than manifestation. That being said, it is very much a self-fulfilling prophecy … just as just about everything centered on mindset and believe is.
That’s because our brain looks for ways to prove us right.
So, if we believe that we’re lucky, that life is always happening for us, and that everything that happens is for our good … our brain will look for evidence that prove that belief to be true. It also will look for opportunities and answers we need to get what we want in life.
We just have to be open to acting on those opportunities and turning them into realities.
Lucky Girls Create Luck By Confidently Taking Action
See, I also believe that we create our own “luck” by taking action. The more things you do, the more often you try, the more “chances” you have to succeed.
Think about a sales team, for example. The most successful person isn’t the one who has the most “luck,” it’s the one who makes the most calls, gets in front of the most people … takes the most action.
Of course, it needs to be strategic and intentional action that will move you forward in the direction you need to go in. But you get the idea.
If calling it Lucky Girl Syndrome helps you have the confidence to take more action, then by all means, embrace the term.
It doesn’t really matter what you call it (after all, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet), but there is a divine plan for your life. Life IS always happening for you.
And with this mindset, you can face anything and everything with absolutely unshakeable confidence.
So, unleash your inner Lucky Girl and go out and get what you want out of life.
