But also on a micro scale optimism and positive thinking works。Parking space in downtown Vienna is rare。But instead of thinking“there is no way we find a parking space”my husband and I always say“let's switch on our parking charma”，and believe it or not，in 9 out of 10 cases we get a great parking space right away。
So if we know，why don't we apply it in our own lives？Instead of“I will not pass the exam”think“I will do a good job on this exam”。Thinking positive about passing a test or having a good job interview will make your vibrancy change。Excitement is contagious。If you are not excited about your abilities，how could someone become exited about you？When you work on convincing yourself that you will be successful in whatever you want to achieve，you will get rid of a lot of uncertainty which lowers your level of power。Doubts limit your thinking and energy。
Look at the people you chose to surround you。Are they positive，do they encourage you？Or are they a bunch of naggers and whiners？The most“fortunate”idea you can have is to let them go。Surround yourself with positive thinking people and join them in their view。Happiness is not a destiny，it is a choice。
