The Self-Fulfilling Fear Of A ‘Bad Luck Curse’

Some folks who consult with reputable psychics for the first time sometimes believe that the many unfortunate things that have been happening to them is due to some ‘family curse’ or ‘bad luck hex.’ While it may indeed seem like certain people and their families do have more than their fair share of ill-fated things happen to them, sometimes through several generations, this kind of superstition is usually just an overreaction to challenging life events, and too often merely an excuse to avoid personal responsibility for one’s own choices.

An famous example of a so-called family curse is the Kennedy family, who suffered a series of bizarre accidents, premature deaths, assassinations, and various other setbacks and calamities, including several ill-fated romantic relationships that all started out great, but then took a turn for the worse and ended in tragedy and disaster.

Whenever I read for a client who believes they are somehow ‘cursed,’ I always advise them that blaming a so-called ‘curse’ for the challenges and adversities in their life will never solve their problems, nor help them create a better life in the future.

Sometimes people are not ready and open to take an honest look at their own part in creating certain life events through their free will choices and decisions. When a relationship ends badly, for example, it is so much easier and convenient to simply imagine, “Oh, well I am probably cursed in the love department.” Meanwhile, the red flags for this relationship were waving high and bright since the very beginning, but they so desperately wanted a relationship that they ignored the early warning signs.

If we would only listen to our gut, and to the people who truly care about us, we will more often experience the blessing of good fortune, instead of ‘bad luck.’ Spirit always warns us early on when we are making bad life choices and heading for disaster. Some of these messages come courtesy of our intuition and inner guidance, some are revealed to us in dreams, signs, synchronicities and psychic readings, and some warnings reach us through our friends and relatives. Sadly, some people blame everything instead on ‘bad luck’ or ‘curses,’ as they would rather believe they have been cursed than take any personal responsibility by accepting they made a poor choices or decisions.

People who believe they have bad luck create bad luck. Those who believe they are very fortunate, that the world is a generous place filled with trustworthy people, live in exactly that kind of world ~ Chris Prentiss

One of my friends travels to Greece every year to visit family for a few months. During every visit she scans the local shops to purchase the biggest evil eyes she can find. The evil eye is known as mati in Greek culture. This charm has become a traditional birthday gift from her to me. Now, without revealing my age, let’s just say I have assembled quite a collection.

Evil eye charms are said to bring protection to the person wearing it. My friend believes I need them all over the house and in my car, gazing out from every window. My friend even beliefs evil eyes are an ideal gift for a new baby, to protect them from future harm. I have them everywhere and they are actually a fun conversation piece. The largest one I have is the size of a medium pizza!

Traditionally, evil eye amulets are made of blue glass. Some are made of gold and silver, but almost any material can be used, even cardboard. It is not the material they are made of that counts, but the intention one sets with it for energy shielding and protection.

Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don’t support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck ~ James Altucher

The only metaphysical power any object really have is the power of intention behind it. Similarly, if you accept the idea of a curse and feel one has been put on you, it will most likely become for you an experienced reality. When a person believes they have had a curse put on them, it erodes their confidence and promotes unfounded fear. It than can become a devastating self-fulfilling prophecy. If you are always waiting for the shoe to drop…it eventually will.

A ‘bad luck curse’ is only as powerful as its victim’s superstitious fear and calamitous mindset. We create our own reality. If you are convinced a bad luck curse has been placed on you, chances are you will find a way to create bad luck for yourself by the choices you make. But if you believe the intention of good fortune has been sent your way, chances are you will look for and find the good in every situation.
