Boost Your Luck with a Positive Mindset!

Basic Steps of Better Luck: Positive Attitude

ChatGPT suggests that a Positive Attitude, meaning adopting a positive mindset can help you see opportunities where others might see obstacles is a first step towards building better luck. I wholeheartedly agree with the GPT here.

When you look around the world and see gloom and doom and negativity, you could trip over a gold bar and possibly be too occupied with ruminating over your negative world view that you miss it entirely. Or, like so many people these days, complain that it’s so heavy to carry home, or that they should have dropped bag to make it easier to carry, or the taxes will be too darn high.

Negative attitudes make you miserable constantly. They don't attract many friends or other relationships (I’m not dating Dale Downer). I’ve heard many managers say a negative attitude is a good reason not to hire- or keep around- an employee. Negativity is poison. Like many managers, I wouldn’t bring a negative person onto my team. Would you?

We’ve all dated someone, been friends with someone, or worked with someone who was a constant drain on our energy. When they walk away, any positive feelings or high energy is gone. If you ARE a negative person, please know that you absolutely CAN change. You can choose to be positive.

Gratitude for the things you have has shown good results in improving people’s attitudes and emotional state. Start by writing down three things you’re grateful for at night. Get a journal or just the back of an envelope. After a month, you’ll likely feel more positive and may notice more good things around you every day- and perhaps begin to attract them.

What are some strategies you’ve used to turn your attitude frowns upside down?
