Good Luck is Hardly a Matter of Luck

Good luck is rarely just a matter of chance. I believe we can generate our own good fortune, not through wishful thinking, but through conscious design. For me, good luck is less about self-belief and more about the quality of our expectations. When expectations are positive, outcomes tend to follow suit. When they’re negative, self-sabotage often creeps in.

I came to this understanding after creating a personal “good luck” plan—one that reflected the nature of my work across the body, soul, and spirit. I reasoned that if I crafted a holistic plan that nourished all three layers, and I followed through with it, the outcomes would reflect that integrity.

And they did.

By making space for good luck through intentional planning, I invited it in. The act of planning raised my expectations and shifted me from anticipating setbacks to anticipating support. Over time, this boosted my self-esteem and deepened my belief in my ability to cultivate fortunate outcomes. The more good luck I experienced, the less room there was for self-sabotage.

The planning process helped me align the energies of body, soul, and spirit toward a shared focus. It didn’t deny life’s difficulties. It helped me name them, manage them, and redirect my attention toward what’s constructive. It became a practice of conscious choice.

Good luck, then, becomes less mystical and more practical. It’s what happens when intention, alignment, and expectation work together. And once it’s part of your plan, it’s no longer something you merely hope for. It’s something you’re prepared to welcome.
