Get Lucky

Now, I no longer believe in luck. In fact, for a long time now. It can lead people into a false sense that things fall into their lap by chance, and if it doesn’t, then you certainty have something wrong with you accord to the world standards. There was no contract signed as we entered this world, promising us a good or challenging life. Not even a mediocre or rich life.

So where did the idea of luck come from some superstious person probably I feel like banging my head against a wall every time a certain family member says, “It’s just my luck,” and “oh it’s unlucky, that’s what it is.” Well, sometimes, maybe it’s just doing the same things and expecting different results. It’s time to accept somethings just ain’t happening or mean’t for us. Maybe something better is around the corner.

Ask the successful business owner, the parents whose kids  regularly respond to their parents loving instructions, women working as CEO in male dominated field, and a couple celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They won’t say luck got them there they will say hard work, and hopefully love for the married couple or in business owners case the love for what they do.

Seriously, there is nothing wrong with you in terms of luck, good or bad, because it’s not a thing. Sometimes, it’s looking for something or someone else to blame for our decisions that do not work out, ouch. I’ve been there until the day I realised my incorrect decision or indecisions caused my outcomes. Sometimes, it’s just timing or reasons we will never know. Also knowing, this is OK. We do not have to know the answer to everything. Maybe we should try to get comfortable with this idea and reserve our time and energy for other things.

So I personally do not believe we get lucky, but we get to partake in trying to have a life well lived (and loved). Our lives are like the beautiful stitches on tapestry still being created. Every detail matters, but we may make the odd mistake along the way or leave it for a couple of weeks. Go back and work on it again. One day, we’re back in the flow, and with all its mistakes, it will still look beautiful.
