Do you believe you are lucky?
I never believed I was lucky; in fact, I thought I was unlucky. I could point out any number of things or events to prove that I was unlucky. Then, about three weeks ago perhaps, someone said to me that I lead a charmed life and they wished some of my luck would rub off on them. Well, this was a surprise. Me? Charmed life? Ha! Then a few days later someone else said about some hard times she was going through, “things always turn around if you choose to believe you are lucky.” I really liked this statement so I decided to start believing that I am lucky, that I do indeed lead a charmed life.
Ever since I started thinking in this way I have had many lucky things happen. A friend offered to give me a bicycle she found. Another friend who works for a radio station is putting me on the guest list to see a performer I really love. I hung out with a cool band after seeing them perform a couple weeks ago. My boyfriend left for a meditation retreat yesterday and I can’t even talk to him on the phone for almost two weeks. I was sort of worried about being bored and lonely while he was gone but all of the sudden I’ve got a ton of invites for fun things to do in the next two weeks. Is this luck? Or would these things have happened anyway and I am just choosing to see them in a different light? It’s hard to say. All I know is that it’s only been a few weeks since I’ve been believing that I am lucky and so far I do in fact feel very very lucky!
