So...You've Gotta Ask Yourself One Question...

For those of you who are superstitious you’re well aware of today’s date and all that it encumbers. Friday the 13^th falls at least once a year and for really bad years can fall as many as three times in a given year. Today marks the second and last Friday the 13^th for 2017.

SO you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?  Well do ya…?” Of course, there are two types of luck…good and bad…Interestingly we all know someone on each end of the spectrum…how can one person fall victim to so many “unlucky” mishaps while the next person seems to fall into a pile of manure only to come out smelling like a rose?

Is luck simply a mindset? There are those who would suggest that when we

BELIEVE in a particular ritual or superstition, it’s that belief or trust that boosts the certainty of the outcome. Believe that breaking a mirror will bring bad luck and everything that goes wrong will be magnified by that lousy mirror. Rubbing a rabbit’s foot might be just what you need to help boost your confidence which has a way of cascading a positive effect in your mental state which helps performance.

It’s no coincidence that organizations succeed when leaders provide their people with a greater sense of purpose to believe in. The power of conviction is not to be ignored. When we believe, trust, and are committed, our brains can override uncertainty, or, conversely fan the flames of certain doom depending on if we believe in “good luck” or “bad luck.”

SO you’ve gotta ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?  Well do ya…?”

Be good to yourself…
