Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

I found out something pretty cool recently and I thought, yes, there are no accidents.

And it's this, that the word gluk in German means two things. It means both happiness and

luck. Based on the context with which this word gluk is used, it can mean happy and it can

mean lucky. Do you think that's random? I most certainly don't. The happier I

am, the better I feel, the more lucky I feel. The more lucky I become. When I'm lucky, I'm happy.

Think about that for a moment. This kind of intersection of happiness and luck, right, into a single

concept highlights to me that these states are so interconnected. It's like the Harvard

researcher Sean Acre, who's been on the podcast. Check out that interview if you haven't already.

It's so good. He says this, success orbits happiness, not the other way around. So the

happier you are, the more successful you become, aka the more lucky in the eyes of the world.

So if I think to myself, I feel good. I am feeling good, I feel elevated, my vibe is high, I get good

creative ideas, I'm not stuck in a rut, I see solutions, I have levity, I have a sense of humor,

problems don't seem so significant or dramatic. Notice how luck naturally follows. Right. This kind of nuance in this

language ties to me this kind of sense of how luck naturally actively creates happiness.

It's how we see fortune. Right. Good fortune comes from feeling good. People who are

are lucky. People who are lucky are happy. You can see that there is just a truth and a deep connection

in that. By the way, I've always considered myself a very lucky person. I've often even just found

money on the street, opportunities seem to

find me, and that I noticed that I actually am quite prepared and that my eyes just typically tend

to be more open. I'm not on my phone as much as other people. I like to laugh off things versus be

offended. And then also feeling good to me, I've spoken about this a lot. We speak about this in self-coaching society a lot.
