Dave's Philosophy... On Your Fortune


      While we were renting apartments, we noticed how much good fortune, or good luck, or hard work, or just a good attitude in general our tenants began to attract. A starving actor would get a part on a big movie, business folks would get promotions, an assistant would get a job as a lead writer. People would get engaged, get married, expect a baby or acquire smaller things like new furniture or new cars. Overall, I saw tenants with happier lives in general.
      We started to think that these old buildings had a special, unique aura and positive energy about them. Now I know, this sounds a little like a fairy tale, but good fortune continued to consistently unfold over such a long period of time, and with so many of our tenants, that it just didn’t seem like a coincidence anymore
      Sure, some of our tenants had some problems, but probably 85% of them had great things happen to them while living in our buildings. We thought that maybe it was the fantastic restoration of our old buildings that inspired our tenants and made them happy and brought good fortune. Because if you’re happy, you do better in life and things go more smoothly for you — that’s the formula for feeling good
      No matter what the reason is for our tenants’ good fortune, living in a place that inspires you affects your personal life, your work and your day-to-day activities. A confident and happy person is a great addition to the building and neighborhood and community in general.
      If you’re reading this and you feel nothing, then you probably will not be inspired by the special feelings that these character buildings will elicit, and a newer, cookie-cutter building— built in the 80’s or 90’s— would likely be fine for you. But if you are the first one at dinner to break open the fortune cookie, or in fact always save the fortune, or write down inspirational things as a reminder to yourself, or practice or consider practicing yoga, or constantly ponder what real life is about, or enjoy travel to experience how others live in the world, or have educated yourself and gained an understanding of the life you want for you . . . then I think, actually I know, you are someone who will definitely seek, appreciate and enjoy the character, the charm, and the originality of our finely restored old and unique buildings.
