Hi Sue,
You have people who attribute everything to luck. Being at the right place at the right time, according to them, can give you an advantage you’d never get otherwise.
They’re not wrong! Well, not completely….
A lot of things in this world – and in your life, too – are determined by random circumstances you seemingly have no control over.
Luck.
For example, I’m ‘lucky’ to be born in a middle-class but educated family where my parents, very un-Asian of them, gave me a level of freedom that most girls I know don’t have.
( Those who know me knows that I run from the belief that when I was in between lifetimes, I chose my parents for a reason. So it’s not really luck… )
On the other hand, you have people who would turn their noses at the idea of luck.
They would say things like, “the harder I work, the luckier I get”, and “luck has nothing to do with success – hard work and determination wins the day”, and, my personal ( Asian ) favorite, “education opens doors so study hard and you’ll be guaranteed success”.
I wasn’t sure if I believed that 100% but I did work hard. I stayed humble and paid my dues. But for much of my early twenties I felt like the world was determined to keep me financially on my knees and it was frustrating to say the least.
I could have called it luck when I was working minimum wage at a feng shui store and in walked my future feng shui teacher. On that ‘lucky day’ she came in and said she doesn’t use anything for sale in the store apart from the all-metal 6-rod wind chime that we carried in the store.
What the heck kind of feng shui didn’t need 3-legged toads or gold ingots or feng shui amulets …?
EVERYTHING that I knew about feng shui was challenged that day.
And afterwards when she told me that she certifies people in feng shui and I found out the course fee was way outside of what I could comfortably pay…
My head said, “no way Safrina you can’t afford the course”.
But my heart… my soul spoke to me in my dreams and in my waking hours and it nudged me, ” this course is what you need to start changing your life, Safrina…”
Three things had to happen in order for me to claim my seat in her certification course…
ONE.
Grace and compassion from my teacher that allowed me to register with a payment plan ( which she didn’t have available at the time to other students ). Without it, I would have never been able to afford the course fee.
TWO.
The belief that feng shui WORKS, I just didn’t know how to MAKE it work without it being guesswork or ‘place-and-pray’. I mean, I used it and it helped me attract my husband so I’ve SEEN it work for me. I just couldn’t get it to be consistent.
THREE.
I wasn’t going to let excuses get in my way ( it was far and on public transit it would take an hour on the bus and a fair bit of walking to where the course was being held ).
I could’ve also used the excuse of ‘my husband won’t let me’ but I didn’t. In all honesty, I had to lie to my husband where I was going to be for 4 full days as he would’ve certainly stopped me from doing it ( I’m not saying you do the same…. I’m just sharing that this is what felt right for me to do at the time ).
Was it luck though? That brought me there?
For the first one, in terms of meeting my teacher, I chalk it up to me somehow having the good karma to cross her path. She truly changed my life by teaching me what TRUE FENG SHUI looks like.
For the second point, I hated feeling like I’ve been chasing the elusive life changing secrets of feng shui, of having a system where I don’t feel like I’m blindly grasping at straws with DIY feng shui that gave me inconsistent results.
For the third point, I was ready to do what I needed to do. Everything else – the hard work especially – wasn’t getting me anywhere. I had to do something different even if it meant not being completely truthful to my husband.
Now, I shudder at the thought of what could’ve happened if those 3 things didn’t line up for me.
Would I be slowly ekeing out a living in a cubicle and a job that wasn’t a career and gave me no fulfillment?
Would I be able to protect my husband when his own career stalled and gave him mental and emotional anxiety?
Would I be building a business where every day I get emails and messages from grateful, relieved and happy clients and students who update me on how their lives have changed since the weeks, months, years that they’ve started on their real-feng-shui journey with me.
Most of them would have similar stories like mine where they also had to draw on their faith on themselves, faith in me as their teacher, and faith in the workings of a higher power that brought them to cross paths with feng shui when they were praying for guidance and answers.
So it’s no wonder that while I believe in karma and soul contract and higher-realm protection and guidance, I don’t believe in ‘pure luck’.
If you want to ‘make your own luck’, hand to heart, feng shui is the BEST tool for that.
Now, should you consider it luck you’ve found this message at this particular point in your life?
Maybe. It depends on what you do with it. At the very least, watch the inner conversation that it triggers in you now that you’ve read this far.
I don’t want to have to CONVINCE you to join me in my certification course… but hopefully the testimonials from my past students can give you a good inkling on the depth that I teach in my course ( screenshots posted below ).
If you’re ready to CREATE YOUR OWN ‘LUCK’, if you’re ready to start believing in your own power to take back control in your life, and if you’re ready to have faith in an energetic wisdom that is thousands of years old and used to be reserved to only Chinese emperors….
