💌 Why Do We Sometimes Feel So Unlucky..?

Have you ever felt like nothing is going your way, no matter how hard you try?
You push yourself, hustle, grind — but the results don’t reflect the effort.
You get sick more often, feel stuck in a cycle, and begin to wonder:
“Why does luck never seem to find me?”
This is truly my story.
I will tell you everything.
<This is a photo I took myself. In Korea, the subway is called “ji-ha-cheol” (지하철), which literally means “underground train.” But during rush hour, it gets so packed that people jokingly call it “ji-ok-cheol” (지옥철) — a play on words where “ji-ok” means “hell.”>
There was a time I commuted4 hours a day in Seoul, back and forth from work,
for three years straight.
I thought I was “living my best life” by working hard and pushing through every challenge.
But when I look back now, I realize I wasn’t truly enjoying life — I was surviving it.
I rarely had a moment to breathe, let alone feel “lucky.”
Even my health was constantly out of balance.
Eventually, I wanted more than just survival.
I wanted a life I truly loved.
So I quit and started my own creative & design agency business.
Within a year, I was making over 10 million won per month and had a small team.
Was it magic? No. It was clarity.


<Photos I took myself — showing over $7,000 in monthly sales.>
When things got too overwhelming, I started asking:
“What is really going on here?Why am I feeling so rushed, so pressured?”
Often, my answer was this:
I wasn’t moving in a direction aligned with my truth.
I was chasing what looked impressive — or what I was too afraid not to do.
But when you truly love what you do, your life,
and when you feel grounded in your direction,
we don’t face fear with anxiety.
we face it with curiosity.
Now I know for sure:
Focusing on joy (in work, love, and life) can invite powerful change.
When your energy rises, so do the people, opportunities, and conversations around you.
That’s how I became luckier.
And I want to show you how you can too.
🧹 1. Clear Your Space to Attract Good Luck
One of the most overlooked ways to become luckier is to let go — literally.
Let go of clutter. Let go of things that no longer serve you.
When your room or workspace is filled with random objects or unnecessary stuff,
you unconsciously block fresh energy from entering.
In Korean tradition, there’s even a saying:
“If you eat too much, you spend all your luck on food —
and miss out on luck in wealth, love, or success.”
Energy, like air or water, needs space to flow.
In Korea, we also value things like:
-
The direction your front door faces
-
Where mirrors are placed
-
Whether your bed is aligned with natural flow
We even hang dried pollock fish (called myeongtae) near doorways —
believed to absorb bad energy and protect the home.
This was once featured on the YouTube channel of Jeon Somi, a Korean pop star.

Whether it’s your closet, digital files, or a chaotic schedule — start with clearing.
That’s when new energy (and luck) begins to flow.
⏳ 2. Daily Mental Habits That Boost Your Luck
Space isn’t just physical. It’s also emotional and mental.
Sometimes you’re so busy — or feel busy — that you leave no room to breathe.
That’s when we lose the spark, the ideas, the subtle nudges that guide us toward joy.
Without downtime, you can’t recognize what really matters.
And without clarity, how can luck find you?
That’s why one of the best daily habits for attracting luck is:
Silent, intentional time with yourself.
No phone. No noise. No distractions.
Ask:
-
What am I truly grateful for right now?
-
What do I genuinely want — not what looks good to others?
-
Where is my energy naturally pulled?
The moment you start listening to yourself,
you open the door to clarity, creativity, and yes — more luck.
🔮 3. Discovering Personal Luck Through Korean Saju
Getting to know yourself is hard.
But in Korea, we have an ancient tool that helps.
It’s called Saju (사주) — or the Four Pillars of Destiny.
Unlike zodiac signs, Saju is based on your exact birth date and time.
It shows your natural tendencies, talents, and even 10-year cycles of luck.

In fact, the K-pop group aespa did a public Saju reading
to discover things like their lucky colors, personal traits, and energetic alignment.
Their fans loved how accurate and personalized it was.
In a Saju report, you can learn:
-
Your personal energy type (based on the Five Elements)
-
Which years are likely to bring growth, rest, or transformation
-
Your luck-enhancing colors and directions
-
How to align your actions with your natural flow
You don’t have to believe in “fate” to gain value from Saju.
It’s not about prediction. It’s about self-awareness and energetic alignment.

🌱 4. Luck Comes to Those Who Know Themselves
You know what?
Actually, the truth is, you — the one reading this right now — are exactly the kind of person who's about to become luckier.
Why?
Not many people take the time to search for ways to improve their own luck — most are too busy just trying to get through life, forgetting they even can.
But you? You're already showing that you're ready — and mature enough — to make your life better, with intention and effort.
I believe that luck naturally comes to those who hope for it
because they're open enough to notice even the small blessings. And when you start seeing those little things, bigger ones begin to appear too.
Gratitude follows, and suddenly, life gives you more to be grateful for.
That’s why I truly believe the things I mentioned above — clearing your space, listening deeply, and understanding yourself — can quickly and powerfully boost your luck.
The more you connect with your inner clarity,
the more the world responds in kind.
Your energy shapes your environment.
Your environment shapes your luck.
So let go of the noise.
Choose joy over pressure.
And trust that when you show up for yourself,
luck will show up for you.
I wrote this with all my heart.
I truly hope something beautiful happens to you today.
