What if the secret to getting everything you want was simply believing that you were the luckiest person in the world? What if you didn't even have to say it out loud, but you could just believe it deep down inside? This idea has gone viral and many people are convinced that it's the key to having the life of your dreams.
Just do a little research on this concept and you will find plenty of stories of those who claim to have secured the desired job, the ideal apartment, the perfect relationship, or simply beautiful surprises in life, just by directing their minds towards good luck.
Positive and negative sides
Like any trend related to mental well-being, this approach has its pros and cons.
Positive : It can bring a sense of hope to those who feel condemned to an unfulfilling life. There is scientific evidence to show that positive thinking can improve well-being and help you feel more motivated to pursue opportunities.
Negative : It often ignores the fact that not everyone has the same opportunities in life and that luck is not always the result of a certain mindset. Furthermore, it can promote the idea that you have to spend money to “buy” this mindset, thus becoming a trap for those who are more susceptible to such influences.
Does it really work?
Essentially, the idea is that the more you convince yourself that good things will happen, the more open you will be to noticing and accepting them when they do. But what is often not said is that behind every success lies hard work, dedication, and real effort. Yes, positive thinking is important, but it is no substitute for real effort.
It's understandable that sometimes it's hard to think positively, especially when you're going through a difficult time. But let's not forget that having an optimistic approach can help with the way you experience life and how you face challenges. Is the "lucky girl syndrome" a magic trick? No. But a mindset that helps you see opportunities instead of focusing on obstacles? Absolutely.
Ultimately, feeling lucky is probably not a matter of fate, but a way of life.
