In exploring intuition, I’ve found myself drawn to the idea of luck, how essential it is in realizing dreams, making pivots, and bringing manifestations to life. People who’ve been successful always have a little bit of luck in their story. A chance encounter. A person who helped them. A class they stumbled into. Even Steve Jobs once crashed a calligraphy class; years later, it showed up in Apple’s design.
Luck isn’t just something that lands on you like glitter. It’s something you call in, quietly, by how you move through the world. It isn’t just chance, either, it’s curiosity. It’s saying yes, walking through the door, and taking a seat in the room. The more curious you are, the more chances luck has to find you.
When I wake up and whisper to myself, I’m so lucky, something shifts. The coffee tastes better, strangers smile, and emails I’d been waiting for arrive. It’s not magic, it’s perception. My nervous system softens, I stop overthinking, and suddenly I can see what was always there.
Luck also loves visibility. It loves when we’re brave enough to be seen, sharing our ideas, showing up to the dinner, saying yes to the invite, even posting the story we’re scared to post. The more I step into my own light, the more lucky I feel. People show up. Opportunities appear. The universe responds to presence.
And maybe that’s the secret: luck isn’t about chance, it’s about being available to receive.
So today, I’m declaring it again: I’m so lucky.
Lucky to be here, lucky to be building, lucky to know that I can magnetize more simply by believing I deserve it. Because the truth is, I do. And so do you.
Five Rituals to Call in More Luck
1. Shift Your Relationship to Luck
Belief magnetizes: People who believe they’re lucky are more open, relaxed, and receptive, making them notice opportunities others miss. This is often called the luck mindset.
Reframing setbacks: Instead of “bad luck,” train yourself to see detours as information or redirection. Lucky people reinterpret events in ways that benefit them.

2. Expand Your Surface Area for Serendipity
Meet more people: Every new connection is a potential source of opportunities, ideas, and invitations. The more people who know what you care about, the luckier you get.
Say yes more often (with discernment): Try experiences, trips, or projects—even small ones—that might lead to something unexpected.
Be visible: Share your ideas, stories, or creations publicly. Luck often finds people who are already “out there.”

3. Practical Daily Luck Habits
Curiosity practice: Read widely, ask questions, follow your pings. Curious people cross-pollinate ideas and stumble into synchronicities.
Micro-rituals: Carry a “lucky” token, keep a gratitude journal, or make a morning habit of asking: Where might luck show up today? This primes your subconscious to scan for it.
Energy hygiene: Sleep, move, and regulate stress, because a tired, closed nervous system overlooks cues and connections.

4. Spiritual & Symbolic Ways
Astrology & Timing: Some believe aligning projects with planetary transits, new moons, or personal astrocartography can amplify “luck windows.”
Feng Shui & Environment: Arrange your spaces so energy feels flowing, light, and open, luck thrives where energy isn’t blocked.

5. Reputation as Luck
Luck often arrives through people. Being known as generous, elegant, and trustworthy makes others want to bring you into opportunities. It’s less “random chance,” more a magnet you’ve cultivated.
At the end of the day, luck isn’t something we wait for, it’s something we learn to notice, nurture, and invite. Every yes, every act of curiosity, every brave moment of visibility becomes an opening. And the more we practice seeing luck, the more it multiplies. What begins as a whisper—I’m so lucky—becomes a way of moving through the world. A posture of receptivity. A quiet magnetism.
Because luck doesn’t just arrive. We meet it halfway.
