What is your karmic due?

Shut out of your consciousness the thought of bad luck―

As long as you hold fast to the thought that all you can expect are the things you experience, then that is all you ever will get. 

For you have thus made a law for yourself that this is your portion, and although the world is ruled by God Almighty, who is Love, and who desires His children to receive all that is good and necessary, yet the instant you (for you are made in God's image and have the power to create through thought) make a hard and fast rule that certain things, and only such things are coming to you, then such things must come to you until you learn your mistake because they come through the power of your thought. They are created, not by God―or sent by God, but are created in the world by all the people who have corresponding thoughts.

And by repeating such words and thinking such thoughts, you absolutely make an avenue through which they come to you.

There is no such thing as either bad or good luck―you get that which is your Karmic due or that which you create and draw to yourself. Therefore, change these words, and instead of saying that nothing, but such things shall come to you, say―

I know my Father wants me to do a certain work for humanity, and if I do my duty and believe that I am going to be able to do this, then He will give me that which is best. My own can come to me only through His great love and His great power. So I will not have my life ruled by the evil things created by man, but will go direct to my Father-in-heaven and receive my heritage.

―The Teacher
