Summary

Do you feel like a lucky person? Do you want to increase your luck? Do you even believe in the idea of luck?

Life opens doors when you make the right choices at the right time - some people call it luck, others favor or karma or many other things. I believe you can "make your own luck" through opportunities, relationships, and continuous learning.

In this episode of the Mind Shift podcast, we discuss how life opens doors when you make right choices at the right time, enhancing your 'luck quotient'. We explore the close connection between luck and the people we invest our love and care in, underlining the significance of community and relationships in shaping our lives.

Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and lessons from my grandfather, we unravel the concept of being a "thought sommelier" and how an education that teaches the mind to think can create an effortless flow of luck, characterized by meeting extraordinary people and having beautiful experiences. The concept of "trusting the form," where one can gain ten times the outcome with a tenth of the effort, is elucidated in-depth, as is the role of continuous learning and self-improvement in generating luck.

This episode confronts fear as an inhibitive factor that can prevent us from reaching our full potential and limit our luck. Reject fear and embrace their potential to improve their life and luck.

When you make right choices the moment you know they are right - it’s amazing how life begins to move in your favor.
