33 rules for engineering your own luck.
1. Volume is better than perfection. You can't predict which attempt pays off, so take more shots.
2. Bridge disconnected groups. The gap between two worlds is where you add value.
3. Seek asymmetric bets. Small downside, big upside, over and over.
4. Never risk total ruin. To win the game, you have to stay in the game.
5. Keep slack in your life. A fully optimized schedule has no room for luck.
6. Break your routines. Returning to the same café, route, and people gives diminishing returns.
7. Treat every situation as an audition. Go above and beyond even when the stakes look low.
8. Persistence outperforms talent. The winners are usually the ones who didn't quit.
The other 25 are below.
YOU ARE PLAYING TOO SMALL
Stop thinking like a brokie. Eliminate limitations. "I can't do this." "This isn't for me." Dream big. Be delusional. Everything is within your reach. Infinite potential. Countless opportunities. Lock in for 6 months. Escape the permanent underclass. Break the generational curse. Become the person your ancestors would be proud of. Isolate yourself until you start winning.
The belief that you don't deserve to live the way you've always wanted was programmed into you by other people.
Family members. Friends. Society.
Don't let other people's misery affect your vision.
You can achieve anything, and you know it.
How to fix your confidence:
Focus inwardly
Become aware of the sensations in your body as you notice how good it feels to breathe slower.
Do this as you feel your feet planted firmly on the floor and begin to relax every muscle in your body head to toe.
Within a few minutes you'll notice your body feels heavier and heavier.
Once that sensation arrives, you will be able to visually go within yourself to create permanent upgrades in your subconscious: remembering who you truly are.
Now, ask yourself this question:
"Can I remember the last time I truly felt like I won?"
The moment you acted upon an idea and surprisingly it paid off.
Despite voices of doubt.
The fact you transformed a deep calling, invisible idea in to physical reality.
Maybe it felt as confirmation that you are enough.
Go back there now.
Where were you sat, stood, walking? What was in your hand? Who, if anyone, was near you?
What did you tell yourself in that split second before the thought “don’t get too comfortable” crept in?
Second by second, let yourself feel any winning sensations, maybe a warmth in the chest, maybe somewhere else that says “we did it”
Stay with it a moment longer than your mind wants you to because in a moment your subconscious mind is going to predict the future.
It understands the fact you can remember what it feels like to be confident as proof you already are, so obviously it begins to ask itself:
Who would I become if experienced this every single day?
How would it feel if I felt certain in myself regardless of outside circumstance?
Would I believe this is your potential or just much closer to it?
Enjoy it.
Commit the next 30 days to practice this and see if you find the answers to those questions.
