A Little Bit of Luck Goes a Long Way

With St. Patrick’s Day in the rear view mirror, I was just reflecting about my thoughts on luck. Luck is like a good hair day, when we don’t have it we wish we did and when we do have it, we are on the top of the world for our own little moment in time. A clever person knows how to take a stroke of luck and capitalize on it and turn it into a stage for his or her dreams. Recently, I’ve had a little bit of luck, but it hasn’t always been that way. In fact, it rarely is.

I’m the girl who had a sinus infection, ear infection, bronchitis, and pink eye in both eyes all at the same time while simultaneously being threatened with deportation from China. Black cats cross my path on a regular basis. I can’t keep my tiny lucky bamboo plant alive to save either of our lives (I'm pretty sure the moment it entered my room it just surrendered its life). It’s ridiculous how unlucky I am.

But then there are moments when everything changes. And let me tell you, these moments are what it’s all about. Recently I’ve had a few moments of luck and they have inspired me to reevaluate my dreams. The thing is, clever people realize that, objects moving in a positive direction will continue to move in a positive direction until they are disrupted by an outside force. And even when an outside force is acting on them, depending on the intensity of their positive energy, it can be really hard to disrupt this path. Because this is true, only the most clever individuals, use this principle to get themselves out of a rut. 

It doesn’t have to be a huge stroke of luck. In fact it can be something seemingly irrelevant. The important part is that we use these moments as a mood booster and  a nudge in the right direction. 

Trust me, it’s easy to consider how unlucky we are....to count our curses. Sometimes it’s not so easy to excavate those small instances of luck, but when we do, bigger miracles happen, we are happy about our lives and thus able to focus on helping others, which any classy girl knows is what life is all about!

May the Luck Be with You,
