Speaker 1

I am Joshua PE Warren, and each week on this show, I'll be bringing you brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises, and weird experiments you can do at home, and a lot more. On this edition of the show, How to Get Lucky and the Top Three Simple Manifestation Tips. Is being lucky the same thing as being a good manifestor well, what is love? I recently read an email to you that I see you from a man named Donald who took my Haunted Boulder City Ghost and UFO tour just

outside of Las Vegas, Nevada. That's Haunted Bouldercity dot com. And he had a wonderful time. Afterward, he and the tour guide, Nick Weird, they sat around and had all kinds of interesting conversations, and he wrote at the end of his email to me, Nick and I were discussing luck, and I don't remember if you have done a podcast on that. If not, that would be a good subject.

I did well on a Roulette wheel, and I don't believe it was just luck, because when I was determined that I was going to win, with no doubt in my mind, I did. It took a few days, but I was able to double the money brought to play with. Well, well, well, would you call that luck or something else? You know, I have talked about luck and the concept of being lucky and how to manifest lucky and fortunate things off and on for years, and I've mentioned it many times

on this podcast. But you know, he's right. I don't think I've ever just sat down and said, Okay, here's your one stop shop for this topic on luck and manifestation tips. So that's what I'm giving you in this podcast. This is when you'll want to bookmark and hopefully send to all your friends. It's actually quite a complex and nuanced subject to dig into, but I'm going to do my best here. So back to the questions. Is being lucky the same thing as being a good manifestor or

is there a difference there? Well, let's just start with the definition of luck. I think that's how you get to the bottom of anything. According to Wikipedia, luck is the phenomenon, the phenomenon, and belief that defines the experience

of improbable events, especially improbably positive or negative ones. The naturalistic interpretation is that positive and negative events may happen at any time, both due to random and non random natural and artificial processes, and that even improbable events can happen by random chance. In this view, the epithet lucky or unlucky is a descriptive label that refers to an event's positivity, negativity, or improbability. Okay, so now that we have that clinical language out of the way, what are

we really talking about here? So I am. I've been reading a lot lot of books about the subject, and I'm going to try to combine the best of some of these. But let me just start by saying that, you know, I have said on this podcast before that I think you can believe in luck even if you can't explain it. So sometimes examples are the best way to dig into these things. Here's a story. I read this once before, but it's a story attributed to Napoleon.

Napoleon was trying to figure out, according to this story, which generals took place in charge of an upcoming campaign. And Napoleon said to his assigning officer, well, how about General Francois who took the bridge the other day, you know? And the officer said, well, I think he just got lucky. So Napoleon says, well, how about General Bindeuvois who took

the castle with no losses? And the officer said I think he just got lucky to and Napoleon, and exasperated, said oh, how about General bo who took the English armory. Oh oh, said the officer, he got really lucky. Well fine, then exclaimed Napoleon, get me lucky generals. You get the point of that. It's a point of perspective and opinion, isn't it. Do we have to be able to define exactly what luck is in order to believe in it. Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying, I'm a great believer

in luck. I'm a great believer in luck, and the harder I work, the more luck I have. That's interesting. I'm a great believer in luck, and the harder I work, the more luck I have. It almost is implying that luck is not just some external thing that falls from the heavens like golden manna, like gold dust on your shoulders and makes life easy for you. It almost seems like maybe you can do something to make yourself more lucky.

The American playwright Tennessee Williams said, luck is believing you're lucky. So these things do imply that there is some work involved or something that has to do with you and

how you behave that applies to this concept of luck. Now, like I say, I've read a lot of books about the topic of luck, and I'm going to try to give you some some of what I think are that the most valuable nuggets from these different sources, as well as my own experiences, And it seems to me that to most people, there are really two different types of being lucky. One form is being lucky when just good things happened to you in your life in general, and

the other form literally has to do with gambling. You know, we're just taking a chance on something, a game of chance, whether it's you know, the roulette will or a slot machine or a card game, or playing the lotto or your scratch offs contest. I mean, it almost seems like that those are two different forms of being lucky. But are those two actually connected. Let's start with lucky things

in general, happening in your life. Okay, we'll just talk about that first, and then I'll get into gambling luck and how those two may be connected. All right, So one of the books that I've read is a book by doctor Richard Wiseman. And this man is a scientist who surveyed and studied thousands of people over the years, different people. Some describe themselves as lucky, others as unlucky, and he wrote a book about his findings. The book is called The Luck Factor, The Scientific Study of the

Lucky Mind. And he said essentially that it boils down to one thing what do you think it is? He said, it basically boils down to personality, and you might be thinking right off the bed, oh man, well that means I am. I am out of luck then, because my personality stinks and there's nothing I can do but hang on,

hang on. You may we may resolve that. If you have that feeling, maybe you are the person who needs to hear this podcast most of all, because I don't think your personality is something that you're just stuck with. And if you believe that, that's a problem, all right.

So anyway, he says that basically, when he's talking about personality, he means that you know, being in a certain state of mind, and that is a state of optimism of openness, and that actually allows you to take more chances in life and to be more observant because you're always if you if you're optimistic, you're always thinking that if somewhere something positive is going to happen here to me. And you know, even the luckiest people are not lucky all

the time. But what they do is they realize that when one door closes, another door opens. And he also said that it helps to feel more extroverted because extroverts naturally have a more positive attitude. And what's weird is that I myself, I am not a lot of people think I'm mister extrovert. But because I've done all these TV shows and I used to do live events and stuff, I actually don't get out and interact that much with

people anymore. But I guess I still am kind of an extrovert because I'm communicating with you through this show. But what do you think he says about neuroticism. Do you think lucky people are more or less neurotic? Okay, when we come back from this break, I'm going to get into that, and then I'm going to say to you, Okay, if you think your personality is not quite what it should be, well fine, here is what you can do

about it. All right. You know what, I have got at least one more major project that I'm going to be revealing before the end of the year. It'll come out sometime this fall, and if you want to know about it, I probably am not going to talk about it on this podcast.

I am Joshua P. Warren. You are listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome back to Strange Things of the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden and every night is silver. I Gietato zoom May and I'm talking of course about how

to get lucky. But shortly, I'm going to tell you some actual manifestation tips. Whether or not being lucky is the same as being a good manifestor as something we'll dig into, but I'm going to give you some tips. All right. Before the break, I was talking about this man, doctor Richard Wiseman, and what he learned, and he was saying that lucky people, Okay, some people out there are

more neurotic than others. And I'm not a psychologist, but my understanding is that neuroticism has to do with well, if you have a high score for neuroticism, you are more likely than average to be moody and experience feelings like anxiety, worry, fear, anger, frustration in the jealousy, pessimism, guilt, a depressed mood, and a feeling of loneliness. Okay, so the more neurotic you are, the more you feel like those things. I don't believe that any human being has

zero neuroticism. I mean, that'd just be my guess, but lucky people are very very low on the neuroticism scale. And if you are, if you think that you're high on the neuroticism scale, I can see why that you might feel very frustrated to even hear me say that, because you think, to yourself, hey, if I have to be an extrovert and have a positive attitude, sorry, you know, there's just nothing I can do about that. And there are other things that, of course doctor Wiseman talks about

in his book. But you know, here's the thing about about trying to change what happens to you, to change your tendency to be neurotic. You actually can have some control over this. People who are lucky, they always tend to smile a lot more. And I wrote about this in my book Use the Force, and I call it the magic of smiling, because even if you do not feel like smiling, you should especially smile then because there's

something about this mind body environment relationship. And when you force a smile on your face, then even if you don't feel that it's an authentic smile. If you force a smile and you do it consistently, then what you begin to find is that the mind and the spirit will eventually match that and it elevates it. And even if you just pass yourself in the mirror and you glimpse in the mirror and you'll start feeling a little

bit better by doing the simple act of smiling. And especially you'll realize that when you smile at other people, that other people will treat you better and will actually open some doors for you and give you some more opportunities. So one of the easiest things you can do to to shape yourself into a more optimistic, extroverted, lucky person is just a smile. And you know it's interesting. There's this other book that I've read. It's called Conscious Luck.

Eight Secrets to Intentionally Change Your Fortune by Gay Hendrix and Carol Klein, and they give you I mean, this is a lengthy book. This is like a two hundred and okay, so it's almost two hundred pages, and they give you the eight secrets to intentionally Change your fortune. I don't want to read all of them to you, because I bet the authors wouldn't like it if I did that. But what I will tell you is that the first thing it says is you have to commit

to being a very lucky person. You have to start thinking of yourself as a lucky person, even if you don't believe it at first. You have to start thinking of yourself as being a lucky person, and I think smiling helps you feel like a happier person. Another one is to take bold action consistently. Take bold action consistently. I think that plays a role in the gambling part of this that I'm going to get to in a minute. One of the other ones is practice radical gratitude and appreciation.

The more appreciative of you you are, of your life and the good things that you have, and the more you focus on those things, then the more or you will sort of attract to you. And this also goes into something I talk about in my book Use the Force, which is, if you start to treat the universe as if it is a loving, supportive, generous place, it will begin to behave as a loving, supportive, generous place toward you,

maybe not toward everybody, but toward you. And if you start believing that you are lucky, basically, if you start feeling lucky, even if you don't believe it's true, if you start believing it, then it seems to change the things that happen around you. You can change your personality

to transform yourself into a luckier person. But you know, all throughout history there have been people who said, you know, I'd rather just have a lucky charm, and I think I couldn't do a show about luck without talking about a good luck charm. It is any item that is believed to bring good luck and it helps to put you in that mood. Apparently, according to the experts here, when it comes to the history of lucky charms, the earliest ones that come from ancient African culture are called

a moho. Excuse me, a mojo. Okay, you know what a mojo is. You hear to hear about somebody's mojo, which is a bit of a misusage, But a mojo is basically a bag that has various items in it that you consider magical. It's some think of it as being a prayer in a bag, and in fact, if you look back at the etymology of that word, the word mojo comes from this word moyo, which is an African word meaning quote to the spirits that dwelt within

the magical charms end quote. So it's literally a bag that you put stuff in that makes you feel better. It makes you feel lucky, and believe it or not, even if it's just a placebo effect, that's fine because anything that makes you feel lucky starts to make you luckier. Here's something that's kind of intriguing. There's this other book that was written by let's see Sherman Ricky. It's a very short book you can get on Amazon. It's called Are You Lucky or Not? And Sherman Ricky lists some

very interesting stories about good luck charms. You know how you've heard about like a horseshoe being lucky. You see someone's house and they have an iron horseshoe hanging above the front door, and a lot of people say it's got to be turned up so that the two points are pointing toward the heavens, so it kind of looks like a bowl that's supposed to fill with good luck. Apparently that came from that's the story of the lucky horseshoe came from Saint Dunstan, who was an English bishop

who lived in the nine hundreds. And this story it relates to how Dunstan nailed a horse shoe to the devil's foot when he was asked to reshoe the devil's cloven hoof, and this caused the devil great pain, so Dunstan only agreed to remove the shoe and release the devil, after the devil promised never to enter a place where a horseshoe is over the door. So that's supposed to be the origin of the lucky horseshoe. Did you know that? How about some of these other things that people consider

lucky in different cultures, there's a long list source. You have lucky numbers, like the number seven, which you find especially within you know, Christianity, God created the earth in seven days. Chinese the number eight, which is sort of like the infinity sign, and Norse and that part of the world. You have acorns. We have also in Chinese bamboo, in certain cultures, lady bird beetles, and Native American cultures dream catcher, my goodness, course, the four leaf clover, the

let's see here, Jade. I'm going to get to the rabbit's foot in a minute. But here's something kind of cool when you when you go through this guy's book, he says the four leaf clover is one of the most powerful good luck charms, similar to the horseshoe, because it's hard to find a clover with four leaves. The probability is one out of ten thousand. And then in Thailand, elephants are considered lucky because they symbolize power, strength, wisdom, prosperity,

and stability. Goldfish represent fortune in China and Japan because they are some of the most beautiful and attractive of the fishes. In India and Thailand and China, they consider the laughing Buddha good fortune because he is he's happy, because he's bringing abundance, and boy, we all need to laugh more, don't we. Here we go acorns in England because that great oaks rise from little acorns, and so

it's considered to be a symbol of growth, prosperity. Hope, when we come back, I'm gonna tell you the really weird thing I didn't know about why a rabbit's foot is considered lucky. But then I'm gonna shift and I'm gonna talk about how this applies to gambling. And then Okay, what's the connection between all this and manifesting stuff? And what are the top three manifestation tips? Very simple but effective. I'm Joshua P.

You're listening to strange things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network, and I will be back after these important messages. Welcome back to strange things called the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, and this is the show where the unusual becomes usual. I don't know if people carry around a rabbit's foot for luck anymore,

but when I was a kid, they were everywhere. You used to be able to buy them in vending machines. And you know, even though people, I guess find that gruesome nowadays to carry around a severed foot of an animal, people still eat rabbits, so it's not like the rabbits are not being being killed. Let's just face it. But where did that come from? A lucky rabbit's foot? Well, apparently, it says in a variety of cultures, the rabbit's foot is carried as an ambulant and believed to bring good luck,

including Europe, China, Africa, and North and South America. And this is one thing that I never thought about before. It has been suggested that the rabbit's foot could be connected to a European good luck charm called the hand of Glory, which is a hand cut from a hanged man and then pickled. Now that is I remember A

long time ago reading about the hand of Glory. Sure enough, this was like a big thing in Europe that if you could get a hold of the hand of a hanged man, you could somehow turn it into a candle. There were different preparations, and then this candle would have mystical powers. It could do all kinds of things. In some cases, thieves wanted them because it could make you invisible, it could unlock any door, It could cause others to

freeze in place so they couldn't do anything. I believe there was even a hand of glory in the Harry Potter series, but I never thought about that being connected

to a rabbit's foot. And it turns out that apparently one of the big reasons that, especially in North America, people believed a rabbit's foot was lucky was because they tended to believe that it wasn't actually the foot of a real rabbit, it was the foot of a shape shifted witch, which is even stranger to me because you'd think that, you know, people didn't like witchcraft, so why

did they want to carry around a witch? Is Paul Basically because that was literally the most widely held belief is that people thought witches can shape shift until you know, obviously black cats and all these other things, ravens and such, but that they would often turn into a rabbit, and if you caught one in the rabbit state, it could not transform back. Uh, And then you could cut its foot off, and now you have all this magical power.

Pretty strange stuff, isn't it. Well enough about the whole lucky charm phenomenon, because you know, I'm not inspiring anybody to go out and carry those things around, but I think you should carry things with you that make you feel lucky, that make you feel good. So how does all this apply to gambling. Well, it turns out that the more you feel lucky, the more open you are to giving yourself opportunities to be lucky. So, for example,

this again the scientist Wiseman. He said that he and I'm I don't have this right in front of me, but I remember him saying something like that. He interviewed one woman who just had a phenomenal amount of contest winnings every year, Like every year she would win like ten or fifteen contests, and everybody was like, my goodness, Ye're the luckiest woman. And she said, yes, I am lucky,

but the reality was. Turns out she was entering like one hundred contests a year, and most people would not even enter that many contests because they would say, I'm never gonna win, right, But she says, no, I can win, and that gives her the inspiration to even give herself the opportunity. There was a man who was in the same boat. Everybody said, this guy wins contests all the time, super lucky. Turns out this guy was always entering contests.

It's that kind of a concept, like I know you hear this all the time where people are like, look, the odds of winning the Latto or next to zero, but if you don't buy a ticket, they are zero. So by going and spending money to buy a lotto ticket, that is actually part of the process of making yourself feel lucky. And I think this applies to gambling in general.

No matter what type of gambling that you're going to do, you go out and you are more open because you feel lucky, and that can give you the latitude to take some more risks, which increases your odds of winning because you can't lose all the time. Now, look, I'm not saying that this means that you should go out and take risks that you cannot afford. But it does mean that you should take some risks that you that you can afford and have an open mind and have

an optimistic mind and feel good about it. And this seems to be part of the process of I don't know, just like believing that it can happen and feeling good. And there there literally comes a point where you say to yourself, I am lucky and I and you reach a point of I guess faith is what it boils down to. You reach a point of faith, especially if

you really need something and you really want something. You know, last year, Lauren and I we were ready to buy a new house here in Las Vegas, and at that time, the competition here was absolutely brutal, especially if you wanted a house with a swimming pool, like like we did, because everybody in Las Vegas wants a house with a swimming pool. And I mean it was just like so many people were vying for the same houses, and there was always somebody out there who had more money than you.

I mean, because you're talking about corporations that would come in and buy up property in order to turn around and sell them. So these are like multi billion dollar corporations. How do you compete with that? But we reached the point where we're just like, you know what, we want to do this now. We're ready to do this now, and it's going to happen, and we're going to do everything we can to be open minded. But we started that process of we feel lucky, we know God is

going to help us. We got tools and talismans that helped us maintain our thinking, and it very quickly fell into place once we got serious about it. So, even having said all this, I do think there are times when something spiritual happens that steps in and gives you a boost. You've heard that phrase God helps those that help themselves, so think about that. It applies to this.

And that's why when it goes back to Donald Donald, the guy who wrote the email I read at the beginning of the show, he said, when I determined I was going to win, with no doubt in my mind, I did. It took a few days, but I was able to double the money I brought to play with. You See, he made himself lucky because he didn't give up, because his optimistic personality gave him the confidence to keep taking chances until he got what he wanted. Now, like

I say, nobody gets lucky all the time. But I really think that to summarize this whole luck thing, what it boils down to is this, as Tennessee Williams said, luck is believing you are lucky. So start believing it, even if it does not feel true. Start smiling, especially when you don't want to smile. And if you start to treat the universe as if it is a loving, supportive, generous universe, it will begin to behave as a loving, supportive,

generous universe toward you. And I've been talking about all of these different books that I've been reading, but you know, here's something that you can read for free right now. All of these same basic lessons are in the book that I wrote called Use the Force, a Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction, And you can read it for free right now if you go to Joshua Pwarren dot com and you'll see a picture of the book cover there, and when you click on that you will

be able to go in. You don't have to sign up for anything. You just go in and you'll see a free link to the pdf, which you can click you can read it, or you can download it in English or or in Spanish. It's available right there, right now for free. And all the time people contact me and they say, you know what, I read that book Use the Force, and it changed my life. And then a few years later things started to sort of crumble again, and I realized, oh man, I need to go back

and reread it. And so then they go back and they reread it and everything picks back up again. You if, even if you've read the book or listen to it on audible, you need to have a refresher reading once in a while or a refresher listen. And that's only natural. It's it's like they say, if you tell somebody you're in a relationship, I love you one time, that doesn't mean you never have to tell them that again. Right, No, you've got to maintain that. You got to stay on

top of it. And if anything, if you get into a really great manifestation state, then you didn't you just take it for granted. Oh boy, that house of cards will start falling so fast. It's like the bigger they are, the harder they fall. So you've got to stay on top of it and maintain it and keep these messages in your mind. All right, I've given you all that information, and I really think luck is believing you were lucky. But when we come back from this break, now, is

being lucky the same as manifesting things. I'm going to give you the top three simple manifestation tips when we come back, and everybody also needs to be refreshed on this as well. I'm Joshua pe Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal

Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren, and I asked the question, is being lucky the same as manifestation? Well, before I tell you the three simple traditional steps to manifestation, there is a really interesting novel creative of manifesting something a being that will go out there and do things for you, called a minion. And I don't want to get into that technique here because, believe it or not, I talked about it in the very first episode of

this podcast. Episode one of Strange Things is called Meet the Wizard of Weird. But within that you will find tips on how you can create a minion to go out and help you achieve things that you want to do on a spiritual level in the spirit realm. And that is that's for people especially who are maybe more artistically inclined. But all right, here are the three things that you need to do for basic powerful manifestation. Number one, you need to sit down and write what you want

and try to make it somewhat emotional meanings. Put some description in there, so you put like I am attracting I like those words. I am attracting more money so I can pay my rent and be happy, right, or I am attracting a perfect partner so I can go have fun vacations on a warm summer day. You know so, But you don't want to be too specific or you'll cut your options off. So like, for example, if you're looking for a car, you don't have to put every little detail of the make and model in the year.

You just say, you know, looking for a good, reliable car that'll do this for me and do that for me, And that way you give the universe the opportunity to help you attract that thing to you. So that's number one, is to find what you want and write it down or you know, in some way record it. You know I am attracting blah blah blah, give it some emotion, like some descriptions, some adjectives be specific, but not overly specific. Number two, and this is for most of us, visually

represent what you want. So if you have let's say you want a certain kind of a car, or you want a certain kind of a house, or you want a certain kind of a partner, you can either sit down and draw a picture of it, or you can just get online and you can find a picture that looks similar to what you want and save that picture. And you want to either print it out and post it in a place where you'll see it a lot, or just maybe keep it on your phone or your

desktop or your tab. Just you want to see it as often as possible so it reminds you and you have a visual there. And I also like to take that sentence and somehow put it on top of the image that you pick and try to just pick one image, not just not like a whole giant vision board. Just try to pick one image if you can. That kind of says it all. And then step number three is repetition. Okay, so you want to think about it as often as possible.

And one little tip that I always give is if you have a calendar of some kind that you keep and it does not allow you to or let me put it this way, if you have a calendar and you go onto that calendar and you maybe once a week put a note that says, move or change or modify my manifestation in some way. So whatever your picture is or whatever your affirmation is, you just want to move it to a different location so it stays fresh

on your mind, and that helps with the repetition. Now, look, if you are visually impaired and step number two of this is something that you can't quite do, it's okay to substitute something else that conjures up images in your mind. Could be a piece of music or in aw you know, you can create something that triggers that response to you. And I don't know what everybody's condition is, so you're going to have to sort of like figure that out

for yourself to a certain extent. But those three things are once again, define what you want and write it down in a fairly descriptive way but not too specific. Number two, find a visual representation of it and look at that visual representation as often as possible, which is step number three. Repetition as often as possible, and think about it and try to visualize yourself there. And so I think that what you're still doing, however, is you're

making yourself ultimately feel lucky by doing this. So what that means to me is that manifestation techniques are almost a refined version of feeling lucky. Manifestation is almost like focused luck. I like that term. I just invented it. Manifestation is focused luck. However, it doesn't always have to work exactly that way because of the inverse manifestation method. I do not want you to feel hopeless. If you've listened to this whole podcast and you go, this is

all great, but I just can't do it. I can't be positive, I can't focus on positive stuff, I can't visual what I want. I know other people can do it good for them, doesn't work for me. Well, that's what the inverse manifestation method is all about, and that is about visualizing what you don't want and then neutralizing it. That's why if you go to my curiosity shop at joshuap Warren dot com for now and I'm almost sold out, I have this thing called the psionic d materializer or

the bad buster. And what you do is you take that visualization of what you don't want and you put it into the bad buster and you neutralize it. That's called the inverse manifestation method, and for some people that

can be a last resort. In fact, even with some of the wishing machines wishing machine techniques, one of the earliest wishing machine techniques was not to put in what you want and get and turn the knobs to get a rate for it, but to put in what you don't want and tune the machine to the opposite rate. So you see, there is this other way of manifesting if you just feel there's no way, and it's not the best way of manifesting, because the less you think

about negative things, the better, period. But that's your backup plan. If you just cannot overcome the negative thought, find an inverse manifestation technique, like tuning a wishing machine to the opposite of what you want. You put in what you don't want and retune it or use something like the bad Buster. Now, I also know there are people out there who believe that, you know, hey, I'm just cursed.

I've talked about this. If you are somebody who believes that no matter what you do, there's a dark cloud over you and it's overwhelming and there's no way that you can ever get out from under it, go back and listen to episode eighty one of this podcast. It is called if you Are Cursed, and that will give you some information about what you can do if you feel like you are that type of person. So I'm doing my best here to try to help out everybody

with just you know, based upon my own experiences. And when it comes to gambling, you know, I was thinking about have I ever won? Because you know I live in Vegas. Have I ever won when I don't feel lucky? And the fact of the matter is I don't think I have. I don't think I have. Other lucky things have happened to me in my life, my general life

when I didn't feel lucky. But I think that you know, sometimes if you go into a casino and you're like, I'm just not feeling it, you should probably turn around and walk out the door. So I think you have to feel you know, I wouldn't say you have to, but I personally have always felt lucky just before I won something. So there you go. Here endeth the lesson that basically what is luck. Luck is believing you're lucky and you use whatever tools help you with that. I

want to leave you with one last thought here.
