Why are some people just ‘plain downright lucky’ whereas others seem to spend all of their time in a quagmire of misfortune? And, even more importantly, is it possible to create good luck? That is the subject I wish to discuss with you today.
There was a time in my life that good luck was simply a matter of chance, but then my life experience showed me something different. I remember being with a friend/colleague when we were asked to purchase tickets for a lottery. The lottery was a fund-raiser for a cause I believed in, so I dutifully purchased my tickets with zero expectation of winning—I never won with these things. However, my friend expressed great reluctance about purchasing tickets, not because she did not believe in the cause, but rather because, as she said, “I always win and I get so embarrassed going up to claim my prize.” At the time, I thought this was just a strange thing to say and thought nothing of it . . . until the drawing took place and I accompanied her to claim her prize!
On the flip side of this, I certainly know people who seem to attract bad luck all of the time. I have another friend who certainly fits into the category of ‘the best of the best!’ She is sweet and kind hearted and always very helpful. If anyone deserves good luck, it is she. However, bad luck seems to follow her everywhere and I was constantly hearing about some opportunity she had to pass by because of various family emergencies—family emergencies that did not hold back her siblings at all!
Sales Trends
Now, the entire question of luck is top of my mind once again simply because of an unusual sales trend I am seeing at InnerTalk. Quite frankly there are often times I think it’s possible to gauge the state of the country (and even the world) simply by looking at the titles that are currently in the best sellers list. Our best sellers list is normally filled with titles such as Weight Loss Now and Stop Smoking, and the number one position has been held by Prosperity and Abundance for a long time now. This last one is due, I believe, to the state of the economy and the fact that most of you are aware that the poverty mind-set can be a slippery slope—plus we do have some amazing testimonials for this program .
“. . . as soon as I found Inner Talk (Millionaire Orbit and Prosperity) I got out of my never ending overdraft, lowered the interest rate on my loan, shortened the repayment time from 37 to 12 months, ( so I will be loan free by Sept. – can’t believe it!!) possible because I could pay more towards it, after I managed to raise my income by nearly 51%! I couldn’t ask for more.”

Luck
I am Lucky has been available for many years and we do have some wonderful testimonials for this as well, but it it rarely ever appears in the top 10 (remember we have around 300 titles covering a vast range of issues).
“I got from your company a program named ‘I am Lucky.’ It worked!! A week after listening to the recording I won the only amount of money I have won in the lottery in my life.”
N. Medina
The affirmation ‘I am lucky’ appears on a number of our InnerTalk programs including Procrastination, Powerful Selling and Closing, Enthusiastic and Motivated, Have It All, Ending Self-Destructive Patterns, Genius Power, and Telephone Sales, so this is an important element in success, regardless of the primary self-improvement goal. But as a stand-alone title, the current ranking for I am Lucky caused me to investigate further.
Affirmations
The first thing I checked out, of course, were the sample affirmation for this program:
“The Universe brings me good. I am deserving. I am worthy. I am created perfectly. I am lucky. Luck is not an accident. I am prepared. I accept the good that comes to me. I attract all that I need whenever I need it. I pay attention to synchronicity. I am in tune with my purpose. Purpose, meaning and awareness make me lucky. My luck is in my awareness and my purpose. Luck is preparedness. Luck is awareness. I am lucky. I am grateful,” etc.
To me, these affirmations are most enlightening, and I could see how this kind of thinking would influence your life experience. Both Eldon and I are strong believers in putting action behind your dreams and desires, which is why we always tell those looking for a program for Prosperity to also look at what they can actively do in order to improve their finances, such as:
- Become more assertive so they can ask their boss for a raise;
- Increase their learning so they are qualified for that promotion;
- Improve their telephone skills so that can turn more calls into sales; etc.
Luck and Prosperity Planning
There was a time that I would have thought of good luck as being just a matter of chance, or the good fortune of having been born with the proverbial ‘silver spoon in the mouth,’ but I don’t anymore. I think there are a number of ways to create luck and good fortune in your life:
- Be prepared— it is often said that good luck is just preparedness meeting opportunity. (See the examples given above regarding putting action behind your Prosperity goals);
- See the opportunities—don’t assume that good things will always pass you by, as this kind of thinking will blind you to the good things around you. Health, Wealth and Youth can all be yours. Seize the day as they say;
- Be courageous—change can be scary so often times we will refuse to take a chance in case things do not work out. As they say, the difference between a successful person and a failure is that the successful person did not quit! Be courageous and strike out into new waters;
- Know that you do deserve to have it all—this is a key element to Eldon’s Have It All InnerTalk program. When you believe in yourself you open yourself up to receive good things;
- Access your spiritual side—within you is a higher power that will guide you. Learn how to open up to your higher power; and
- Know that you have the power within to be successful at whatever you choose.
I suppose that the best way to sum all of this up is our favorite saying—Believing in Yourself Always Matters! If you do not believe you can succeed, then you will place obstacles in your own path. When you believe, you can succeed!
Wishing you Love, Light and Laughter, always!

The Science of InnerTalk
Remember, InnerTalk has been researched at numerous independent universities and institutions (such as Stanford University), and been demonstrated effective at priming how you speak to yourself. When your self-talk changes, so does the reality you experience!
“I have had amazing success with the Prosperity program. On the days that I listen to it on my way to work, my stock portfolios go up in value. Sounds crazy, I know, but this happens predictably and consistently At first, I dismissed this as dumb luck, but after months and months this phenomenon continues like clockwork virtually every time I listen to it.”
