The Opposite of an Unlucky Person
You want to be luckier? Well the first step is to avoid, at all costs, being the person people avoid. You don't want to be that guy. Trust me.
01
Be a Net Positive Force
-
Speak in terms of solutions, not problems.
-
Project calm during chaos.
-
Offer useful action, not emotional dumping.
02
Demonstrate Agency
-
Never say “I can’t” without offering “here’s what I’m doing instead.”
-
Take decisive action, even if partial or flawed.
-
Own your outcomes. No blaming. No excuses.
03
Guard Your Energy
-
Leave when conversations spiral into complaint, gossip, or despair.
-
Refuse to engage in mutual misery loops.
-
Be known as someone who resets, not ruminates.
04
Show Movement
-
Always be building or progressing something (a habit, skill, project).
-
Let others feel your momentum when they interact with you.
-
Be seen reading, writing, creating, testing. Not idling!
05
Control Your Setting
-
Never let others dictate the tone of your day.
-
When someone brings chaos, you bring clarity.
-
When someone brings fear, you bring steadiness.
06
Speak, Write With Confidence
-
No disclaimers: “maybe,” “just,” “sorry,” “I don’t know if this makes sense…”
-
State, don’t hedge.
-
Use short, clean, intentional sentences.
07
Be a Luck Generator
-
Take small, frequent risks (reach out, try things, speak up).
-
Position yourself to be seen and connected.
-
Cultivate serendipity by being in motion.
08
Avoid Self-Pity at All Costs
-
Self-pity repels power. Replace it with action or silence.
-
Feelings are valid. Dwelling is not.
-
When the impulse to collapse arises, stand straighter instead.
09
Be Useful
-
Bring insight, direction, or clarity into every interaction.
-
People should leave conversations with you feeling stronger, not drained.
-
There is always a way. Find it.
​
10
Operate With Intent
-
Wake up with purpose. Don’t drift.
-
Plan days. Reflect on actions. Measure outcomes.
-
Have a direction—even if uncertain.
