The Winds of Luck

In a Ted Talk entitled, "Tina Seelig: The Little Risks you can Take to Increase your Luck," I was impressed by her three pieces of advice that in many ways can be applied to having a healthy emotional life as well. They are as follows:

  1. Change the relationship with yourself: "Be willing to take some small risks that get you out of your comfort zone."

  2. Change your relationships with other people: "You need to understand that everyone who helps you on your journey is playing a huge role in getting you to your goals. And if you don't show appreciation, not only are you not closing the loop, but you are missing an opportunity."

  3. Change your relationship with ideas: "Ideas are neither good nor bad. And in fact, the seeds of terrible ideas are often what grows into something truly remarkable. You need to look at ideas through the lens of possibilities."

Tina Seelig refers to chance as the "winds of luck" and how it is very often the setting of our own sail that helps to capture those very winds.

The West Champlain Family Health Team is grateful to the Indigenous Health Circle (which works in collaboration with The Algonquins of Pikwàkanagàn and the Ottawa Valley Ontario Health Team) for sharing a meaningful land acknowledgement both in English and Omámíwininímowin (the Algonquin Anishinábe language), which is the basis of our own.
