Getting Lucky
Back to the Blog... | Post Feedback | Author Bio | Printer-Friendly
Lately I've been feeling lucky -- and getting lucky, too.
Not the way you might surmise. Get your minds out of the gutter, people. Not that that's a bad thing. It's just off topic.
The stars just keep on lining up. Meanwhile, I've been worrying about this and
worrying about that because that's what I do -- even when I don't want to be
such a nudge.
The latest exciting thing to happen is that I won a cheese
cookbook in a giveaway. Okay, I know you're
thinking, cheesy or how many ways can there be to prepare cheese and crackers.
And it's not exactly a million dollars. But, figure the odds of ever winning anything
in a random contest. Astronomical, yet some lucky people do indeed win.
I also see it as a sign -- something along the lines of this:
You get what you ask for. Sometimes we ask for things that aren't good
for us -- bad relationships, jobs, no parking spaces -- with negative thinking. And we stay with them for all the wrong reasons too.
Please note: I'm not
blaming the victim, I'm saying that what we focus on often comes true. If all my energy is aimed on the problems I
have rather than solutions, I'm pretty sure there won't be much time to find
solutions or even implement them.
There's nothing new to the glass half full theory. It's whether we see it half full or half
empty.
