Wanted: 25 people... Each day I find one odd little thing people do when they really want something in life to change - then I try it for myself.

Dear Friend,

I’m excited — and a little nervous — about what I’m about to share with you, to be honest.

Why?

Because I think I might be onto something big.

For a while now, I’ve been doing something kind of odd.

Each day, I find one odd little thing people (all over the world) do when they really want something in life to change.

I write that thing down.

Then I try it for myself.

That’s it.

Most of these things take less than a minute.

They cost nothing.

They can be done privately.

No one needs to know.

I’m writing a book about this process — what you’re reading here are the notes as I go — the idea behind the book.

Here’s the “big” idea I’m testing:

Every day, all the time — even right now — your mind reduces life down to two choices.

Yes or no.

Go or stop.

Open or shut.

Red pill or blue pill.

Those moments are small, but they decide everything.

And what seems to influence them most is not intelligence, effort, or talent — but whether your internal operating system is tilted slightly toward optimism or pessimism.

Put simply - people who think they are “lucky”, get better results.

Not because the world magically changes — but because they think differently in that critical moment of choice.

Why this matters.

I’ve read self-help books for years.

I knew all the advice: Think positively. Visualise success. Change your beliefs. Reframe your thoughts. You know the drill.

And yet… I rarely did anything consistently.

I’d try journaling.

Quit.

Try affirmations.

Forget.

Try routines.

Drop them.

Maybe you’ve had that experience?

And the weird thing is with this, I don’t even know why its different?

The best I can guess is that it’s because other people are already doing them. And they’re little things. And they’re fun.

Like a treasure hunt.

This isn’t about making big changes.

It’s about doing one stupidly small thing a day.

That’s it.

One day I had to light a candle, close my eyes and say to myself "I forgive you" to the first person I thought of.

Another day I found a weird one from Japan where they say that cleaning a public toilet brings you good luck, so that was what I did that day. Not the whole bathroom, that would be weird, just one toilet.

Another day was from a book of old Polish folk stories I was reading, where I had to leave a one dollar note in a random book in a public library.

Last Wednesday I had to leave a piece of my sandwich beside a tree as I ate lunch in the park, for the birds.

And yesterday I had to clean up the first thing I noticed when I walked into my office (this was an old superstition from sailors in the British Navy that if they cleaned up one thing upon boarding the ship, they would have a successful voyage).

Odd little things like that. One each day.

I actually started this experiment as a bit of a joke.

But what’s happening is starting to really, really surprise me.

Things are moving.

Not dramatically.

Not magically.

But quietly.

Conversations change.

Decisions feel easier.

I hesitate less.

I notice opportunities sooner.

I feel calmer in moments where I used to tense up.

I’m getting results.

And that’s the part I didn’t expect.

I share all this with my readers, all over the world, every day.

That’s what The Luck Report is.

And I’d love it if you joined in.
