Luck, probabilities, and success are all information games. You don't often have all, or even most of the variables. So how do you create consistent success or better odds (luck) in an information desert?

Faith! And I don't mean in religion, I mean in math. The understanding that, if you continue trying for an infinite amount of time, you will achieve an infinite amount of results.

In thinking and action and love, the most fatal move you can make is not moving. Sure, unforced errors are possible from trying too hard, but inaction is guaranteed to cause failure when applied incorrectly.

And so whether it's trying to have a good morning and a healthy start to your day, or if you're training to take on the world - or just grinding a 9 to 5 - the most important thing you can do is recognize what you can control and can't.

Because what you can control you can measure and quantifiably improve. Perhaps not just with your own perspective, but with the help of others and tools - like writing down thoughts and habits and being able to analyze them - or using a device like the Thoughtclock.

The Faith Algorithm - Step by Step

For the things you can't control, that's where you use your understanding of faith to increase your odds. Here's how, step by step -
  1. observe and identify what you can or cannot control
  2. Determine if it is possible to control or wait for a successful situation. Continue to improve your data and technique
  3. faith comes into play whenever you hit a failure - either -
    • you understand the failure "I can fix this error since it is my fault" - "I believe in myself" > try again
    • you recognize "This is out of my control, I simply must find a time/place that provides opportunity for success" > try again


  4. Imagine you are the Dungeon Master of your own story. Which stat roll will give you an edge?

Once you've already meditated on your own imagination and abilities and you have done the 'work' of establishing what the situation is. Then you can determine your odds to find if you are able of (END) enduring long enough to find a successful probability, and if you are able to survive/manage failure (highest stats you can apply).

Stat Description
STR Mental and emotional strength to overcome challenges and transform resistance
DEX Mental agility and adaptability in learning and problem-solving
END Sustained focus and persistence in long-term practice and growth
INT Cognitive enhancement and structured analytical thinking
WIS Analytical awareness and deep understanding through systematic practice
CHA Emotional intelligence and mastery of interpersonal dynamics
LUK Pattern recognition and ability to optimize for favorable outcomes

By using the Chakras Stat's system, you search for how to think in a way that will fit your situation and abilities. For instance, if we're talking about….say being a goalie in soccer…

In fact, just by measuring the meta you create it and change it. Abstract quantum physics stuff.

So to reiterate, you want to figure out what tools you have and which ones you think you can use to be effective in any given scenario.

If you think you're cute, put on the charm and see if they're horny for you. The chances of success might be low, but if they're already secretly in love you already won - you just didn't know until it was measured.

That's why the "Naked Man" can work. If you notice a woman's subconscious or verbal invitations and she is receptive, you don't need to say anything to initiate sex - in fact, talking will dramatically _decrease_ your odds of mating.

Don't stop until you are successful.

If determined atoms can leap through their quantum bounds, so can you if you are able to make enough attempts at the right angle and temperature conditions. You just need to summon enough energy- excite yourself! Leap for joy and shout for pleasure.

The biggest variable in your control is almost always you, your imagination and chosen reaction to said imagination.

Hang in there!
