Law of Attraction: Just make sure that you get lucky

During my sophomore year in college, I developed a theory that luck is
more a question of attitude than of blind destiny. "If you want to be
lucky", I told my friends, "expect to be lucky.
Then make your expectation dynamic by going out and meeting luck halfway; don't wait passively for it to come to you".
Amazing things started happening to me as soon as I myself began living
by this principle. The only chapter, out of many, that I studied for a
Greek exam turned out to be the one we were asked to translate.
I entered an essay contest for a $100 prize, not because I knew the
subject (I didn't), but because I needed the money. My fellow students
kept out of the fray, and I was the only contestant.
I also won a $15 first prize in a poetry contest, but that was more in
my line. Then, with $115 in my pocket, I set off to spend my summer
vacation in Mexico. Hitch-hiking, I started from Boston.
The next day I was offered a ride from Philadelphia all the way to
Mexico City 3,000 miles! My benefactor was going to Mexico on behalf of
his company, and was kind enough to put me on his expense account as a
second driver.
And so it went, consistently. Among my relatives, my so-called luck became legendary. But then my attitude changed.
I had gone to Mexico thinking maybe I would find (in travel) the
understanding and inspiration in life that I longed for, and that I
later did find in yoga. But travel turned out to be, as Emerson called
it, "a fool's paradise".
Inspiration abandoned me, and with it my luck. For a time, things went
poorly. Only the gradual return of positive spirits brought a return of
my "luck".
Whatever one holds strongly in his mind, that he attracts to himself.
This is as true for circumstances and events as it is for things. It is
even true for inspirations. "Thoughts", my guru said, "are universally
and not individually rooted".
If one will strike out bravely in the direction of thought that he
wants to take, he will find inspiration coming to him, drawn to him by
the magnetic power of his faith.
Human magnetism, however, is never the outcome of mere wishful
thinking. Two people may think positively in an undertaking, yet one
will attract success, and the other, failure. There are weak magnets,
and strong ones.
Any current passed through an electric wire will generate a mag-netic
field, but it takes a strong current to a strong magnetic field.
As my guru put it: "The greater the will, the greater the flow of
energy". To this law may now be appended another: "The greater the flow
of energy, the greater the magnetic field".
When you send out a strong thought, a ray of energy goes out from you
towards the object of that thought. This energy-ray creates its own
magnetic field strong or weak according to the relative strength of
your will.
If your will, and its resultant flow of energy, are powerful, there is
nothing that you cannot draw to yourself. You will be able to perform
feats that to others will appear miraculous.
But once you understand this principle of magnetism, it is important
for you to realise that it can also be misused. Be careful what it is
that you want, for wrong desires, even fears, can put this subtle law
into operation just as surely.
You would do well always to try to unite your will, not only to cosmic energy, but to the divine will.
