People who go one step beyond common sense attract luck—The choice of 'unconventionality' that March 23rd teaches us

Getters Iida's book "Stories to Improve Your Luck in 365 Days" is a book packed with
messages that accompany you through each day of the 365 days of the year. It
gently reminds you of important perspectives that you might otherwise overlook
in your daily life.

I myself every morning open this book and accumulate small realizations.
At the start of the day, I would be happy if I could deliver even a little bit of positive inspiration.

This time, I have summarized the content that left an impression on me from March 23rd, "It is better to live by 'unconventionality' rather than your own common sense."

■ Summary of the message for March 23rd

The theme for this day is the realization that
"what is common sense to you is not common sense to others.".

The standards we consider "normal" or "this much is obvious" are shaped by the environment we grew up in and our experiences. However, that

is not necessarily the standard for the other person.

That is precisely why, if you only act within the scope of your own common sense, it may sometimes be perceived by
the other person as "below average."

Conversely, by being conscious of actions that slightly exceed your own standards—in other words,
"unconventionality in a good sense"—it is said that
trust, evaluation, and even luck become easier to improve.

■ Main points

・Your common sense is not the other person's common sense
The feeling that "this much is obvious" varies from person to person. The more you push your own standards, the more
misunderstandings and conflicts are likely to arise.

・It is hard to be evaluated within the scope of common sense
Even in work and relationships, just "doing it in your own way" can sometimes be
perceived as unsatisfactory by the other person.

・Actions that go one step further build trust
The extra bit of thoughtfulness and care that goes slightly beyond the line of
“this is probably enough”becomes of great value to the other person and leads to trust.

・Living with 'unconventionality' in a good way
Rather than breaking rules, valuing gratitude and courtesy while consistently
taking actions one step beyond expectations will enrich your relationships.

・Luck favors those who 'go one step further'
Instead of just doing things safely, thinking about how to bring more joy
and acting on it is how opportunities and connections come your way.

■ In closing

You might have a slightly negative impression when you hear the word “unconventional.”
But the unconventionality referred to here is “delivering thoughtfulness one step further.”.

By just adding a little bit of effort and consideration, the other person will often feel,
“I can't believe you went that far for me.”.

That small accumulation becomes trust, becomes connections, and eventually, it may just
attract luck to you.

May today be an opportunity for you to
“try going just one more step.”.
