One of my radio show guests calls himself Dr. Lucky. Randall Fitzgerald has devoted a lifetime to researching the qualities that lucky people have in common. In his book, Lucky You, he says, “If we recognize and appreciate the appearance of serendipity and synchronicity in our lives, we seem to enhance our chances of being blessed with good fortune. To some extent, there seems to be a law of attraction at work here—the more we notice something, the more we attract it into our lives.” He believes that if you accept the miraculous you will have the blessings of good fortune. In other words, luck is nothing more than an attitude.

This is important, because winners, who consistently win, tell us they get into an altered consciousness, a flow during which everything comes to them. Success isn’t just by accident; lucky people create it from their mindset of prosperity. You have heard the saying, “success breeds success”? Spend time with positive, prosperous friends and you will walk away feeling naturally good.

Consider this: I was standing behind a handsome younger man outside the bathroom on a Southwest commuter flight. Just that morning I had expressed a need to find raw foods. Three hours later, I meet a man who runs a company that imports raw foods from third world countries and markets them to major natural food stores. Synchronicity of events occurs all the time. When you say to your friend, “I was just thinking of you, and here you are at the exact, precise moment I am,” that’s amazing, and that’s a miracle, and you created it.

Don’t believe me? You don’t have to take my word for it. I’m not here to convince you of what I already know. I am here to provoke you to try it yourself. So what is it that you most want to happen? Want your favorite song to come on the radio—without calling the DJ? Want that coveted front parking space at the mall? Want to know that your sister’s about to call you, moments before she picks up the phone? Seriously. All you have to do is decide. The universe is waiting to serve you a ripe, juicy miracle on a silver platter … or gold, if that’s what you desire. It’s all up to you.

The Transformational Miracle - The third type of miracle is the life changing, transformational miracles that lead the people involved to completely change their focus and life direction. This type is further broken down into two different categories. First, we have the tragic events such as accidents, illnesses, divorce, or job losses that force the person to reconsider the options. This transformational miracle, born from crisis, is a potent yet unwelcome friend pushing us along to uncover our true life’s purpose.

I am a living example of this, and there are many others like myself. For instance, Mike McGauley lost the use of both his legs when a drunk driver hit his car. His doctors insisted on amputating his legs but he refused. He was determined to walk. Mike said, “The accident that almost killed me, turned out to save my life.” Twelve years later, he ran his first triathlon and has gone on to become a professional speaker, coach, and founder of the Dream Builders.
