Life is all rainbows and butterflies if you simply manifest it, dah.

Indeed, there is a new regurgitation of ‘The Secret’ diligently making its way around TikTok, allowing Gen Zs to believe that they can get whatever they want without ever actually working for it.

The latest magic manifestation dupe is called Lucky Girl Syndrome and simply entails you saying something along the lines of “I am so lucky; everything works out for me” every morning.

If you do this, as the prophecy states, you will be so lucky, and everything will work out for you.

Samantha Palazzolo, 18, stumbled across the intriguing secret to success on TikTok and put it to the test, per The New York Post, and it totally worked for her.

Her issue? Wanting a particular bedroom in the new house she was renting with friends.

Align your chakras and take a sip of Kombucha because you’re going to need the right energy to watch this:

@skzzolno i don’t know why it works but… everything works out for us #luckygirlsyndrome #luckygirl #luckygirlsyndrom #manifestation #affirmationsoftheday #affirmations #collegelifehack #lifehack #college #collegegirls ♬ original sound – skzzolno

I don’t know about you, but my soul feels sucked.

Influencer Laura Galebe started the Lucky Girl Syndrome trend when she swore that the secret was simply assuming everything would just work out.

Yep, she was invited to New York Fashion Week after begging the universe to make it happen for her:

@lauragalebe The secret is to assume and believe it before the concrete proof shows up. BE DELUSIONAL. #bedelusional #luckygirlsyndrome #affirmations #lawofassumption #manifestationtiktok #manifestingtok #lawofassumptiontok #manifestation ♬ original sound – Laura Galebe

Let’s be real, though, this New Age version of positive thinking works the best on people who are already steeped pretty deep in privileged.

Over to Mashable:

“Depending on who you ask, it’s either an empowering practice that can see you fulfill your dreams by repeating daily affirmations such as, ‘Everything works out well for me,’ or it’s a non-inclusive, toxic social media trend of rich, white girls not checking their own privilege,” executive career coach Lisa Quinn told Harper’s Bazaar of the trend.

While there’s nothing wrong with positive thinking, it is not true that happy thoughts are all you need to thrive.

You also need mobility, opportunity, stability, and above all, hard, real work.
