![]() Who's to Say You Aren't Lucky?
Have you ever been right in the middle of a glorious moment of intending and affirming when a discouraging
thought popped in, like, "Who are you kidding? Things like that don't happen to ordinary people like you"?
Can we really change the way we think, what we expect and what we end up having in life?
Luckily for all of us, ordinary is actually pretty incredible. Even without trying we are
constantly attracting unexpected and miraculous opportunities!
A few weeks ago I had an unexpected opportunity to go to Hawaii while a friend was away...
provided I left the following day! It seemed like a crazy idea, but I wasn't doing anyone
much good staring at the harsh winter landscape and watching The Bachelor.
My whole body said "Oh yes, please go!" but as always, waited for my mind to make the final decision.
Obligingly, my mind attempted to evaluate, consider, raise an objection, project, but for once it couldn't
find a single thought, like a radio scanning for reception when you're out of range of a signal.
Plus, I had to pack.
When I arrived in Honolulu I was met at the airport and given my friend's car to enjoy for
the next 2 weeks. As I sat on the beach that first evening watching the sunset I wondered,
"How did I suddenly get so lucky?"
It struck me that I always believed I had a bad sense of timing and that it was high time to drop
that story. What would life be like if I thought I was lucky?
Spring is about beginnings and boldness and singing your own tune. So spring forward with courage!
Who's to say you aren't lucky?
