Tip 1: Pay Attention to any Lucky Hunches
Lucky people often make worthwhile decisions they’ve gotten from listening to their intuition and gut feelings. We all have them. Some of us actually take action from them while many of us just ignore them. Your gut feelings can be important. They may give clues you can take advantage of that may lead to good luck coming your way. By following your intuition you may actually boost your intuitive abilities.

Tip 2: Make the Best use of Chance Opportunities
Many people we consider lucky are good at noticing when they experience chance opportunities. They try to make the best use of such fortunate opportunities whenever they can. This can be done in various ways.

Tip 3: Expect Good Luck to come Your Way
People who expect good luck to happen to them feel certain the future will bring them good fortune. Often these expectations become self-fulfilling. It’s amazing that your beliefs can actually shape your future. Many mystics and philosophers have said this over the centuries, but few of us pay attention to such writings and talk. Yet it may make good sense to believe you will have good fortune coming your way. In the negative sense, bad vibes, and maybe bad luck, can come from concentrating on bad or unfortunate situations you may encounter if you concentrate on them

“Bad luck for one man is good luck for another.”
African Proverb
Give yourself a chance to have luck happen. Think positively about having good luck happen in your life. If or when you happen to have bad luck, and all of us do at times, don’t let it sway you from your belief of having good luck. Try to take advantage of chance opportunities that happen in your life. Be on the lookout for intuitive feelings you may have and don’t be afraid to follow up on some of them. They just might be the forewarnings of good luck you’ll receive, if only you took action, or didn’t ignore such feelings.
It is possible to get good luck, no matter how unlucky you feel. Change your feelings, if necessary, and embrace the luck heading your way and prepare to enjoy life as a lucky person.
