Let Luck Be On Your Side

St. Patrick’s Day was a couple of weeks ago.  I hope you had a good day of festivities, perhaps some green beverages or foods were consumed, maybe a leprechaun visited you or your family, and hopefully some green clothing was worn.  What I wanted to think about briefly today is luck, since St. Patrick is often associated with luck.

What are your thoughts on luck?  I find it to be definitely a nice thing to have on your side.  I used to feel it was totally outside of my control and something that fate or the universe decided would be dealt to me.  But I like the thoughts I have read recently that you must be receptive and ready for that lucky break.  If you aren’t ready, or looking for luck, you will miss it. You can’t control situations or things that happen to you. But you can control your mindset, and feel open and ready for a lucky, good situation if it comes upon you.  If you are closed off to the possibility of something good,  I think you will miss your good luck.

My focus right now is to optimize my preparation and openness for new situations. To have an open mind. I think armed with that, an openness for change, luck will be on your side.  You need to be ready to accept change and good fortune.  Otherwise, you may miss your lucky break.
