what it takes to increase your luck (luckmaxxing)
exposure (groups, activities, environments) + risk taking + energy + right place + right time + removing any negative associations with yourself (no more unlucky jokes)+ recognizing how fortunate you are to live your life = luck
the art of holding a good conversation:
number one tip: ASK FOLLOW-UP QUESTIONS!!!!
when someone mentions:
their job -> ask how they like it
a hobby -> ask how they got into it
a trip -> ask what the best part was
literally anything -> ask one more question about it
people drop little clues about themselves ALL. THE TIME. but most people miss it because they don't ask any follow ups.
this is what separates small talk from real convos people!!! it shows you're actually interested, makes the other person feel heard, and naturally leads to finding common ground. lean in & watch your social life transform!!
I saw a girl say that when she feels stuck, she imagines she's 85 years old and gets one chance to come back to her younger self for one day, suddenly, everything feels like magic again, the walk, the music, the sunlight, live everyday like that.
wow. im doing this DAILY now.
