Unlock Your Happy Fortune: 7 Proven Ways to Attract Joy and Abundance Today

You know, I was thinking the other day about how finding joy and abundance can feel a lot like starting a new character in a favorite video game. I’m a huge fan of the Borderlands series, and there’s a piece of wisdom from a review I once read that really stuck with me. The reviewer was talking about the latest Vault Hunters, saying, "There's no way to truly know if all four Vault Hunters equally stack up until folks have had time to put a substantial amount of hours into playing as each one, but for once, I don't feel the need to dissuade first-time players from one or two of the options. Each Vault Hunter is fun to play because they all feel powerful and can stand on their own or make meaningful contributions to a team, and it feels rewarding to learn and master each of their respective abilities." That got me thinking—attracting a happy fortune isn't about picking the one "correct" path everyone says you should. It's about trying different "characters" or strategies in your own life, finding the ones that feel powerful and rewarding to you, and then putting in the hours to master them. The joy is in the learning and the doing. So, let’s talk about how you can unlock your happy fortune starting right now. I’ve spent a good chunk of the last few years experimenting, and I’ve narrowed it down to seven proven ways that have genuinely shifted things for me.

First, you have to audit your inputs. I’m talking about the first 60 minutes of your day. For me, it was scrolling through news and social media, and it set a tone of lack and anxiety. I switched it. Now, I spend about 47 minutes—I timed it—on a combination of a short meditation, reading a few pages of a non-fiction book, and writing down three things I’m already grateful for. It’s not magical, but it changes the software your brain is running on for the rest of the day. You’re priming yourself for abundance by focusing on what you have, not what’s missing. Second, practice what I call "micro-generosity." This isn’t about writing big checks. It’s the small, almost trivial acts. Paying for the coffee of the person behind you in line. Sending a specific, heartfelt compliment via text to a friend. Holding the door open with a smile. I aim for two of these daily. It does something counterintuitive—it makes you feel richer. You realize you have enough joy and goodwill to spare, and that mindset attracts more of the same.

Third, get physically uncomfortable on purpose. Joy isn’t just a mental state; it’s a physiological one. For a long time, I was sedentary. My version of this now is a 22-minute high-intensity workout first thing in the morning. It’s not fun in the moment, but the flood of endorphins and the sense of accomplishment afterwards is a direct deposit into your happiness account. Your body’s capability is a fundamental form of abundance we often ignore. Fourth, curate your circle with intention. Think about it like forming a co-op team in a game. You want players—people—whose abilities complement yours and who elevate the mission. I did a ruthless audit a couple years back. I realized I was spending nearly 15 hours a week with people who primarily complained or drained my energy. I didn’t cut them off cold, but I gradually reduced that time to under 5 hours and invested the saved 10 hours into connections that were supportive and inspiring. The ROI on that time investment has been astronomical in terms of opportunities and pure fun.

Fifth, define what "abundance" means for you with brutal specificity. "More money" is vague. Is it an extra $1,000 a month in passive income? Is it having 4 months of living expenses saved? For me, a key metric was "time abundance." I defined it as reclaiming 2 hours per weekday for creative projects. I then reverse-engineered my tasks, automated what I could, and said "no" more often. You can’t attract what you haven’t clearly defined. Sixth, create a "victory log." This was a game-changer. We forget our wins so easily. Every Friday, I spend maybe 10 minutes jotting down 3-5 "wins" from the week. They can be tiny—"finally fixed that leaking tap myself" or "handled a difficult client call with calm." Over months, this document becomes irrefutable evidence of your own competence and progress. It builds a foundation of self-trust that future opportunities can land on. It’s proof you can stand on your own, much like each Vault Hunter.

Finally, the seventh way: schedule joy. It sounds silly, but if you don’t, it often gets crowded out. I literally block out time in my calendar for things that give me pure, unproductive pleasure. For me, that’s Tuesday evening for painting terribly and Sunday morning for a long bike ride. It’s non-negotiable. This isn’t about rewarding yourself after you achieve abundance; it’s about weaving the feeling of abundance into your present life. You are telling your psyche that you are worthy of joy now, not later. This is where the mastery comes in—learning how your own unique abilities, quirks, and preferences work together to build a life that feels powerful and rewarding on your own terms. Just like in Borderlands, there’s no single right choice, only the one you commit to learning and enjoying. The process itself, the putting in of the hours with these practices, is where the fortune is truly found. So, start playing with these strategies. See which one feels most powerful to you right now, and begin there. The act of engaging, of choosing to show up for your own happiness, is the master key. That’s the real secret to unlock your happy fortune.
