    The more I work on my mental health, the more I realize it's the base of literally everything. Working on my attachment style, my anxiety, etc. which are all intermingled, it made me more secure, confident, step outside my comfort zone more and more, more chance encounters, more meeting people and more opportunities for fun. "luck"
    For people who had the personality + upbringing to be secure and relaxed in life, are already set up. For those of us who had to work on it, and continue to work on it every single day, it's possible, it's not easy ohhhh it's not easy, but it's possible.

    Mind Blown.
    Yesterday I was talking to my friend about my colleague. and I was complaining that I am no different than my colleague in terms of academics, communication and presentation, but my colleague tends to close more sales because he is very lucky. and i have witnessed his luck many many times. and i don't know why he has all those opportunities, but I don't have any of those.
    to find answers I have observed his personality very closely. and based on my very close observations, I would like to confirm that whatever you have mentioned in the video is 100% correct.
    The things you have mentioned are exactly the things that he has which make him lucky
    and my personality is the opposite of that. I have all the characteristics of an unlucky person that you mentioned in the video.
    I never saw them as contributing to my life that way.

    Aren't these observations very prone to survivorship bias? These principles don't actually increase your luck, it just increase your chances of both lucky and unlucky event. Like, for example, the self proclaimed lucky people, might as well just be someone who took risk and are succesful, whereas had they failed, they are the unlucky people.
    Rather, the luck itself is hardly defined in the observation, imo, I'd say, wouldn't it be better to just give these lucky, neutral, and unlucky group, idk, 100 random probabilities where the outcome can be good, neutral, or bad, and have those outcome defined as lucky and unlucky. And see if the "luck" is consistent throughout. That way, the luck itself can be objectively observed rather than something subjective. Though, I believe there would hardly be any meaning to it.
