“Luck is believing you’re lucky." -Tennessee Williams
Little Gems of Wisdom & Fun from Mary Lynn Ziemer
Feeling lucky? You should be! But, not because this week is St. Patrick's Day. We don't need a special day or a charm to feel lucky. With just a few simple tools, we can have the most amazing "luck" every day!
But actually, instead of talking about "luck" today, we're going to focus on "happiness." Because when you are in a place of authentic happiness, every day (in fact every MOMENT) will feel like your lucky day!
"The Lucky 7!"
To kick start your good luck, follow these 7 steps to feeling "lucky" every day:
1. Keep a full "love tank"! One of the most important steps is that you are filled with love inside. True happiness and joy originate from the inside, not out. Figure out the things that fill your love tank, and make time for them in your daily life.
2. Be present. Remember that you are living in and creating your life in the present moment, right now. It is all that exists. Take a pause, take a deep breath, be present in this moment, and be grateful for it.
3. Feel love and gratitude for what you have. As you practice staying in the moment, find something to be grateful for in everyone and everything you come across. Even during activities that seem mundane. Find the blessings in your current situation and you will begin to feel more happiness and joy immediately.
4. Stay calm. If you are faced with a situation that feels anything other than joyful, stay calm and know that this is temporary. Breathe deeply and slowly: breathe love in and breathe love out to settle yourself. Remember, it is not the circumstances you find yourself in that is most important, but the mindset that you have.
5. Have lots of FUN! One of the best ways to kickstart your "luck" is to simply have fun! Surround yourself with people or things you find fun, funny, or endearing. Be more lighthearted and laugh at yourself. Also have fun focusing on your goals that feel exciting to you. Choose goals that give you direction and purpose in your life and make you feel alive.
6. Speak kindly. Use only kind, positive words in all of your conversations with others, as well as in your own self-talk. Words are incredibly powerful, so choose them wisely!
7. Expect the best! Before you get out of bed each day, expect your day to be amazing! Say to yourself, “I am so grateful that today is the best day of my life! I feel more love and I have more fun than ever!
When you repeat these steps consistently, every day, you will wake up every morning knowing that this is your "luckiest, best day ever". Then revel in the glorious feeling of deep, authentic happiness!
(In the spirit of happiness, it's worth mentioning that in a few days we will be celebrating the International Day of Happiness as established by the United Nations!)

International Happiness Day was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 and is celebrated around the world on March 20th every year. This is a time for the world to come together, a time to celebrate all that we have in common as magnificent human beings sharing our experiences on this beautiful earth.
So start celebrating this holiday by make loving choices for yourself today, and make it a "lucky day" for you and all of those around you.
Have an absolutely magical week full of love, gratitude, and fun, fun, FUN!
