Make Your Own Luck: A Recipe

Posted at 10:58AM Aug 01, 2008 by Kerry Shaw in Talent Advice

Ever notice how some people just get lucky all the time?

In Zoey Dean’s TALENT, Emily takes a vacay to LA, meets her celeb crush and gets a starring role in a movie. Um, hello. Jealous! I still haven’t met Shia LaBoeuf. But it’s no wonder Zoey writes about lucky people—she’s the luckiest person I know. She gets to do what she loves, she has fascinating friends, and she travels all over the world.

Zoey and I were at Sprinkles Cupcakes in Beverly Hills this weekend and I asked her how she got so lucky. “I have a recipe,” she whispered. “Put it on the blog.”

And so, my friends, here is a recipe for making your own good luck, right from Zoey. (Fun fact: this is the only recipe she knows!)

Serves One (You)

1. One part: Know what you want or be open to discovering it


2. One part: Remember all the times you’ve been successful in the past


3. Dash of Failure (Just enough to taste!)


4. Sprinkle on more reminders of your past successes


5. Let simmer with Patience


6. Enjoy! No really—enjoy your good luck! Dare I say…brag about it?
