Sometimes You Get Lucky

Good things surely will happen to you

When things don’t go well, and when you get disappointed and disillusioned, I want you to remember something.

Sometimes you will get lucky.

I’m not kidding about that. It’s a near certainty and a virtual guarantee that some good luck will find you throughout your life.

“What?”

“Not me,” you might say.

“I’ve never won anything," somebody else might declare.

But the thing to remember is that there is all kinds of luck, and some of that luck is hard to quantify or qualify.

• Avoiding a car accident. Now this is seriously lucky, if you have gone years or decades without getting in a car crash. Consider a freeway with some vehicles going over a hundred miles per hour and you can understand luck.
• Finding money. This is one of the great lucky experiences on the planet. Sometimes I only find spare change, but I am hoping to discover more. Keep looking every day!
• A loving partner or spouse. What are the odds that you would end up with the wonderful person in your life? It boggles the mind how things could turn out differently due to little decisions made here and there.
