How to Invite the Fortune Goddess into Your Life: A 7-Step Prosperity Guide

You know, the pursuit of prosperity often feels like a monumental, complex undertaking. We’re told we need elaborate business plans, perfect investments, or some secret societal code. But what if inviting the Fortune Goddess into your life is less about grand, sweeping gestures and more about the simple, focused curiosity of a beginner? This thought struck me recently while watching a short film called Lego Voyagers. It features just two tiny, nameless Lego bricks—one blue, one red, each with a single googly eye. They live as neighbors and buddies on a small Lego island. Their entire world is simple, almost minimalist. Then, one day, they see a rocket take off in the distance. That single event, that spark of external inspiration, awakens a shared passion for science and space travel. Without a word, they decide to leave their familiar island and embark on an adventure together. Their journey, I realized, is a perfect metaphor for a genuine prosperity mindset. It’s not about the bricks you start with; it’s about what you choose to see and where you choose to go. So, let’s break down how we can apply this simple, voyager philosophy to our own lives in seven practical steps.

The first step is all about building your foundational “island.” The blue and red voyagers didn’t start in a void; they had a home, a stable base of operations. In our lives, this means getting your personal and financial basics in order. You can’t launch a rocket from shifting sand. For me, this looked like finally automating my savings—a solid 15% of every freelance payment goes straight into a separate account before I even see it—and creating a bare-bones budget that tracked my essential spending for three months. It was tedious, but it created stability. This island isn’t meant to be a prison; it’s your launchpad. The second step involves cultivating your “googly eye”—your point of focus. Those Lego bricks have just one eye each, personifying them and directing their attention. We are inundated with information and opportunities, but prosperity flows toward clarity. You must decide what your “rocket” is. Is it starting a side business? Mastering a new skill for a promotion? Investing in a specific market? Get specific. I made the mistake for years of saying I wanted to “be successful,” which was as useful as a screen door on a submarine. When I narrowed it to “building a sustainable online education platform,” actions suddenly had direction.

Now, here comes the crucial third step: noticing the “rocket in the distance.” The voyagers were going about their daily lives when inspiration literally soared across their horizon. The Fortune Goddess often sends signals, but we’re too busy or cynical to see them. This could be an article about an emerging industry, a conversation with a stranger, or a sudden problem that needs solving. I once read a statistic—about 72% of successful entrepreneurs cite a chance encounter or piece of information as a key catalyst. Start actively looking for these rockets. Follow curiosity without immediate judgment. The fourth step is where many falter: sharing the vision. The blue and red voyagers saw the rocket together. Their passion was awakened in tandem, and they embarked as a pair. Prosperity is rarely a solo act. Find your buddy, your mentor, your mastermind group. Voice your dream. When I first hesitantly shared my platform idea with a colleague over coffee, her immediate questions and excitement refined the idea more than weeks of solo pondering had. The synergy of a shared mission is a powerful attractor of resources and luck.

The fifth step is the decision to “head off from home.” This is the leap. It requires leaving the comfort of your familiar island, even if it’s just mentally or in small, time-bound experiments. This isn’t about reckless abandonment; the voyagers presumably knew they could return. It’s about committed exploration. Allocate a small, specific resource—say, 5 hours a week or a $100 monthly “discovery fund”—to actively explore your passion. I dedicated every Saturday morning for three months to building a prototype course. It was my version of building a little raft to leave the shore. The sixth step is embracing the “wordless story.” The Lego Voyagers film has no dialogue. The narrative is driven by action, emotion, and discovery. Similarly, stop over-talking your plans and start doing. Progress, even messy progress, communicates more to the universe (and to yourself) than perfect pitches. I’ve seen more opportunities arise from a flawed but live project than from a dozen impeccable business plans. Action generates its own narrative and attracts plot twists in the form of new connections and insights.

Finally, the seventh step is to understand that the adventure itself is the prosperity. The voyagers’ wealth wasn’t in the bricks; it was in the expanded horizon, the shared experience, the activated passion. True prosperity is a state of engaged and abundant living, not just a number in a bank account. When you are on an adventure, you naturally develop resilience, creativity, and networks—the real currencies of the Fortune Goddess. My own journey has shifted from wanting a specific monetary outcome to valuing the continual process of learning and connecting. The money, quite honestly, has followed more steadily as a byproduct of this engaged state.

In essence, inviting the Fortune Goddess isn’t about chanting affirmations over a vault of gold. It’s a structured yet playful process of preparation, focus, observation, collaboration, action, and reframing success. It’s about building a stable base, spotting your inspiration, and having the courage to explore it with a fellow traveler. Like the two simple Lego bricks, we don’t need complex features to begin. We just need our one focused eye, a friend, and the willingness to sail toward the rocket we see. Start building your island today, and keep your gaze on the horizon. The launch, I promise you, is the best part.
