Have you ever met one of those people that just seem to be lucky?  You know, the ones that seem to lead a charmed life, they seem to have it all – happiness, abundance, a good life?

I have a friend named Trish who appears to most to be very lucky. Not only does she have a good life but just about every time she goes to a casino, she hits a jackpot.  I been with her several times when this has happened and while on the surface it may appear as if she’s just a lucky girl, there’s more going on with Trish than just luck.  In fact, I have seen her in action – and what I know about Trish is what I believe about the world – we all are responsible for making our own luck.

Trish has a really good thing going with this whole jackpot thing.  First of all, it’s important to know that she expects to win.  She approaches a slot machine and thinks “C’mon, baby.  Let’s hit a big one,” not “Uh oh.  I hope I don’t lose this money.”  And while she doesn’t hit a big one every time, she does often enough to have activated a belief in her that is unshakeable – she is going to win.  She doesn’t let a temporary loss get her down.  No way, my friend.  She just keeps on keeping on until she hits that jackpot – never veering from her vibrational set point of optimism about her chances of winning.

There’s a lot to be learned from my friend Trish.  So I’ve created a set of strategies based on what I know is possible for those who wish to make their own luck.  It takes some work, diligence and practice.  But after a while you’ll get yourself into a totally good groove with making your own luck.  How do I know?  Because I’ve done it myself.  I’ve heard “Molly has the magic touch.  She’s so lucky!” from a number of people recently.  But it’s not good luck that I have; it’s good vibes.

I’ve learned how to manage my energy and consistently send out good vibes.  Because the vibrational signal you’re sending out into the Universe is what’s responsible for what you are experiencing.  By now I’m sure you’ve heard of the Universal Law of Attraction – like attracts like.  Makes sense.  But the reason that most people struggle to effectively utilize it is because they don’t understand the Law of Vibration.  This is another Universal Law that explains how everything is energy – including us – and our energy – or vibration or frequency – is responsible for what we’re attracting.  We’re like human radios sending out and receiving signals all of the time.

So, if you’re sending out good vibes into the Universe, you’ll attract good stuff.  So to make your own “luck” you need to learn to work with your own human vibration, and consistently send out a “good” signal.  And while all of this might sound very scientific and confusing, it’s not.  But it does take practice and an understanding of a few core principles.

Here’s how to fine-tune your Human Frequency…

Understand how the Universal Laws work.
I’ve give you a “101” definition of both the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration.  But to really understand them more, I suggest you learn from the best teacher I know of, Abraham-Hicks.  Responsible for a multitude of best sellers, this is the definitive source on these topics – and the teacher of many famous students who appeared in such movies as “The Secret.”  I don’t love their books, but I love their teachings through their CDs and tapes.  But I have many friends who gobble up their writings, so it might be your cup of tea.  Check them out on the net at Abraham-Hicks.com.

Believe that you deserve it.
In my experience, the majority of people have unresolved issues of feeling “unworthy.”  And this alone wreaks havoc on their ability to create a happy, fulfilling, abundant life.  This impacts your frequency in a hugely negative way.  Left un-healed, it will work against you every day of your life.  You’ll sabotage and limit yourself in more ways than you can count.  This undermines every single goal that you work on.  If you don’t believe you deserve it – you will not achieve it.  So you need to find a way of letting this old pattern go.  And the best way I know of is by energetically neutralizing it by using Meridian Tapping.  This is an easy to learn and extremely powerful energy healing tool that I personally have used for years.  It is the single most powerful resource I have at my disposal, and I love teaching it to people so they can easily drop the limiting beliefs that consistently undermine their success.

Focus on feeling good
Many people spend their days feeling unfulfilled at their jobs, or unsatisfied in their home lives and find it hard to focus on the good in their lives. If you’re one of those people, I urge you to try to make peace with where you are – and focus on what you’re grateful for in your life.  Keeping a daily gratitude journey can help you turn around your patterns of thinking and feeling.  It is your absolute birthright to have a happy, good life.  And you can do that no matter what is going on around you.  There are always good things to focus on.  Have you ever heard the story of the “Whistling Trashman?”  I heard about him years ago and have never forgotten his story.  This trashman was known for his beautiful whistling ability, his warm greetings and friendly smile.  People in his area thought of him as the happiest person they knew.  They loved trash day when they had an opportunity to interact with this wonderful person.  This man was happier, despite what might seem to some as a dreadful job, because he chose to be happy.  We can all choose our attitude and outlook.  It’s ours to choose!  So focus yourself on things that are positive and uplifting.  This impacts your frequency in incredible ways!

You really can make your own luck in life if you choose to.  You really do have the power to create a life that you love.  So I hope that you’ll take these tips and start to apply them in your life.  And pretty soon your friends will be talking about how “lucky” you are.

How’s your relationship with money?  Have you ever stopped to consider what you believe and feel about it?  For most people money is a very sticky subject.  We assign all kinds of meaning to money – most of which doesn’t serve us very well.

Growing up I received some very confusing messages about money from the adults in my life.  But as an adult, I’ve taken the time to review these beliefs to see if they are really a fit for who I am now and who I want to be going forward.

Once I understood what I felt about money, I was able to neutralize the negative energy of the beliefs that didn’t serve me, by using Meridian Tapping.  I have learned that if you want to change your thinking about anything, you must address the energy of the thought or belief.  After I neutralized the energy of the limiting beliefs, I started to install new beliefs in myself.  Beliefs like “money is just an expression of Source” and “abundance is my divine birthright.” I truly do believe that money flows to me from Source and I gladly participate in circulating it back out to Source again.  It can be a wonderful experience, if you’re willing to do the work to get there.

So what do you believe about money?  If you have less of it than you want, you really must take the time and commit yourself to uncovering the things that are negatively impacting your ability to attract more money and then transform that negative energy.  Don’t forget – you’re always in attraction mode – either attracting more of what you want, or more of what you don’t want. Guess what having a bunch of limiting beliefs around money gets you – more of the same – limited money!

Right now, won’t you take some time to work on discovering what you believe about money?  Were you taught that you have to work super-hard – and not enjoy the work in order to make money?  How about money “doesn’t grow on trees,” infusing you with a general feeling of “lack” about the topic?  What was the general vibe in your household?  What were the sayings you heard your parents say over and over again?

I hope you’ll give yourself the gift of creating a positive, uplifting set of beliefs about money – and the fact that you deserve lots of it.  Life sure is more fun when money is your friend and not your enemy.

By now we’ve all heard about how important intentions can be in affecting an outcome.  But most people don’t take the time to focus their energy in this powerful way and that’s such a shame.  Being intentional about your business and your life is one of the easiest ways to get more of what you want.

Intentions can help you capture the essence of what you are wanting to create.  Every single morning before my feet hit the floor, I take the time to plan my day in my mind.  I’m very specific about how I want to feel and what I want to get done.

When I have a goal or  a project, or a meeting with a potential client, I sit down and write out my intention for the outcome of the particular thing I’m working on.  I’m so committed to using intentions to focus my energy and tap into that delicious vibrational state of positive energy that I’ve even created my very own intention worksheet.  I have a big spiral bound stack of blank worksheets so they are right at my fingertips anytime I need them.

These intention worksheets have been a powerful tool for me in my business.  When I look back through the intentions I’ve set, it continues to amaze me how closely my real life experience mirrors the words I had written down on the page.  But I’ve learned not to be too, too specific.  I don’t want to limit the Universe’s ability to bring me my goals and dreams in a variety of wonderful ways.

In March of 2009, I was going on a cruise.  Before I left home I filled out my worksheet intending to have an exhilarating trip full of excitement, wonder and positive energy.  I let the Universe do its job in bringing to me the experiences to match the underlying feelings that I intended.  And boy did it ever.  I was the lucky recipient of winning a beautiful multi-colored sapphire ring – very exciting.  And I was absolutely exhilarated at the largest school of dolphins I’ve ever seen or heard of – hundreds at one time – if not thousands all jumping and frolicking towards our cruise ship.  I was blown away.  I could have never dreamt up these specific outcomes but my focused energy on the underlying essence of these things sure paid off!

So why don’t you create your own habit with Intentions?  Hey – it’s free and it works.  So get busy focusing your energy on what you want – and create those intentions for yourself.  You’ll be glad you did!

Perhaps you’ve heard the idea that “everything is energy?”  It’s so true!  And so exciting that this notion is now becoming part of the collective consciousness.  More people than ever before are remembering this truth and starting to learn how to capitalize on it in creating a truly meaningful and abundant life.

The Law of Attraction is not a new notion but for many this idea has come into their lives for the first time over the last few years.  Popular media has done a great job of raising awareness about this Universal law.  But many people struggle to effectively utilize Law of Attraction strategies.  Why?  Because there’s much more to the story than just thinking about what you want for it to manifest.  You need to understand the energy piece of the puzzle.  And once you understand that, you need to take it one step further and learn how to be a  “vibrational match” to receive what you are wanting.

Maybe for some of you this whole notion that we’re vibrational beings living in a vibrational Universe is a new one.   It was to me too at one time.  But it’s true, folks.  And the more you get this one concept, the more you can work on making sure your human energy “signal” is directed at creating more of what you want – instead of unconsciously creating what you don’t want.

This is the big mistake people make when trying and failing to use the Law of Attraction.  You have to consider yourself as one vibrational entity.  Thinking yummy thoughts about that new car or job or house isn’t enough.  You have to be a vibrational match to receive them.  And guess what messes up your vibration more than anything?  Fears, limiting beliefs and doubts.  If you are harboring unconscious or conscious ideas that you don’t deserve good things, rich people are jerks – or whatever it is – you negatively affect your human energy signal.

Remember, you are ALWAYS in creation mode.  Interested in landing a new job?  Great!  Launch that desire but make sure that you don’t harbor any negative beliefs like “I won’t be able to pull in a new job since we’re in a recession.” Limiting beliefs and fears carry strong vibrations and oftentimes cancel out the vibration of desire.

You need to remember that you really do deserve success – and can be, do or have anything you want in life.  If you are carrying around a bunch of negative beliefs about yourself, you aren’t doing yourself any favors.  So get in touch with the things that are telling yourself that are impacting your ability to create a meaningful and successful life.  And get rid of them once and for all.  You’ll be amazed at how good life can get when you stand in the truth of who you are – powerful, smart, amazingly talented with so many gifts to share.   And when this is your dominant vibration, the stars line up and amazing opportunities come into your life.  The world is waiting for you…what are you waiting for?

You know you can achieve anything in life if you really, really want it.  And my guess is that many of you really, really want a balanced life.  Many people are waking up to the fact that it’s not all about work, work, work.  Yes, we have to do our jobs and do them well, but must this facet of our life take over every aspect of it?  Only if we let it.

So what do you need to do to achieve this wonderful state?  Well, as with achieving any goal, it’s going take some discipline, ingenuity and a serious commitment to making it happen.

The busy professionals I know (let’s call them Stars for fun) who have successfully integrated their work and life outside of work take this whole balance thing very seriously.  They are super-successful but yet they aren’t in the office 12 hours a day.  They’re at home with their kids, or helping their aging parents or volunteering for their favorite charities or even out taking rumba lessons!!  “How do they do it?” you ask.  Five simple strategies.

1.  They are super organized.
You won’t find piles of papers and file folders strewn about their work areas.  No way.  They keep their offices filed, clean, and organized.  And no – it is not because they all have multiple assistants.  In fact, many of them don’t.  They understand how much time they save by staying organized, so they have made it a way of life.

At any given time you can go to these people, ask them for something and they can find it in under a minute.  Do you know how much time is wasted looking for work-related items that are improperly filed?  A ton!

So just get organized. Read a book about it.  Implement the basics.  For example when you are opening mail, make a decision on the spot about each piece you touch.  Don’t let junk mail take up precious real estate in your office. Dump it already!!

2.  They successfully set boundaries.
Stars who have achieved “the balance” are masters at setting boundaries and being in charge of how and why they spend their time.  Stars are really good at saying, “No;” a lesson many people have yet to learn.  They set their course of action, know what’s really important, put themselves and their initiatives and priorities first and deviate from their plan only when absolutely necessary.  If you are still struggling to set boundaries with people who push you around or take advantage of you, it’s time to break the cycle.

3.  They are ingenious.
The Stars are constantly looking for ways do things better, faster, cheaper, more efficiently.  And they implement the strategies they learn without thinking about it for a year in advance.  Too many people get caught up in perfectionistic tendencies by over-analyzing every little thing which creates ridiculous delays and lack of action.  Are you guilty of this?  If you’ve heard of a cool technique that you think might help you, just go for it.  Get into action!

4.  They understand the delicacy of balance.
Achieving balance is like walking a tightrope.  One false move and it’s splat-city, baby.  And believe me, Stars don’t want splat-city, so they are very smart about walking that tightrope.  Stars are constantly analyzing projects, people, meetings and opportunities to see if it makes sense for their objectives and the other things they have going on.

5. They are committed to achieving balance
Most stars who have achieved balance have experienced a time in their life when things were terribly out of balance. They understand the cost of living in that nasty place.  They know that it costs them their sanity, their relationships with spouse, kids, friends, their health. The list goes on and on.

But something happened to these Stars and they were able to move forward and get to the place of balance.  And believe me…they don’t want to go back.

So they have committed to doing what it takes to stay in balance.  They are ever-mindful of staying in balance.  The minute they forget their commitment, they lose their footing and get another taste of the bad place.  But not for long.  They re-commit and proceed more committed than ever before!  They are like balance junkies.  They love it and can’t get enough of it!!

So…what do you think?  Are you ready to join the ranks of our wonderful Stars and reap the rewards that they enjoy on a daily basis?  It’s your decision, of course, but I say you should go for it.  You can do it if you want it bad enough.
