SEPTEMBER 6, 2019 MAKING MY LUCK

My quiet coffee time has been interrupted by nature.
A cricket to be more specific.
I’ve been told they are lucky. I’ve never killed one. Not to my knowledge.
So is today my lucky day?
It is Friday and payday.
But that happens every 2 weeks, with or without the cricket.
He must know I’m writing about him. Its quiet now.
Can a cricket be lucky? Can any lucky charm make a difference?
A lucky hat, shirt, keychain…..
It’s nice to believe that. False confidence.
But just like Dorothy in Oz, the power has always been in you.
My dad would tell me…
The harder you work, and the more you do, the luckier you will get.
True statement.
I’m not sure if I would say I’m lucky, maybe fortunate is more appropriate. The first part of that word is fortune. My life is full of fortunes.
I’ve never rolled the dice and won a car, sat in the lucky seat and won a vacation or handed the keys to a house from a stranger, no strings attached.
That’s all luck.
I am fortunate to have had all those things, made possible by work, grasping opportunities when they cross my path, never being afraid to jump in with both feet. Never relying on luck, or a cricket in my house.
Believing I can do anything.
You can too.
You bring about what you speak about.
Tell that face in the mirror, today is the day! You got this! You will conquer it all!
Make your own luck, be your own lucky charm, and your fortune will be.
