What's the Best Way to Make Your Own Luck? Barefoot Doctor: "The first tip for being lucky is to make sure you're always generous and kind to others. Wish people well, smile at them, take the time to lend them energy by giving them a big-up, or leg-up even, if required. The more you give to life via those around you, the more life will provide for you in return. You can also improve your fortune by reminding yourself that luck is the result of the vibrations you exude, that air of confidence and self-worth that suggests to others that you deserve good luck. One way to encourage this state is to walk around singing or thinking to yourself, 'I feel lucky, I feel lucky', over and over again. If you're luck still hasn't turned, then go out and do something especially kind for someone else, like giving a homeless person your favourite coat. Then wait, be patient and forget about yourself and your local drama. Be happy merely to be here on the planet while adopting the humble stance to life. Once you've truly reached that point, your luck will certainly turn."
