Live life as though everything is rigged in your favor.
Vishen Lakhiani – The Code of the Extraordinary Mind
Often we live life as is if the odds are against us, and that hinders us from even trying.
“I’m not qualified for that job,” or “No one would want to read my writing,”, or any other internal dialogue we have that prevents us from giving it a shot.
But what if you were someone that constantly got lucky? Would that change the way you approach life?
This is what this quote suggests. Lakhiani encourages you to live your life as if everything will go your way. Now not everything will go your way, but putting yourself out there means that some stuff just might.
That job you’re not qualified for? Maybe you make a connection with the hiring manager and they are willing to take a shot on you. That content you don’t think anyone will read? Maybe it’s exactly what someone is looking for. You don’t know until you try.
Not everything is going to go your way, but by living in a way where you believe the odds are rigged in your favour, you’ll at least try. And by trying you may shock yourself by succeeding. And worst case, you fail and you learn to be better for the next time.
In this book, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind, Vishen Lakhiani challenges the beliefs that are passed down in our society. He outlines 10 laws to redefine how you approach relationships, goals, happiness, and more. I highly recommend this if you’re looking for a new lens on various aspects of your life.
Similar to challenging your thinking, one thing we strive to do with this blog is challenge your definition of wealth. I want you to expand wealth beyond just money, to include the wealth you can accumulate in relationships, health, and happiness.
