What is Luck?
March has certainly brought chilly gusts of wind and rain. These rains seem to be hinting that any day now, the colors of Spring will be exploding on our winter canvas. Before March gets washed away in the blooms of April, it is worth mentioning something about this very "top of the mornin'" green month.
March always makes me think about "luck." Who is lucky and why? How is one person lucky and the next person considered "unlucky?" And, when browsing through quotes on "luck" the topic is highly debated. Some say luck is where ability and opportunity meet. Others say that luck is elusive, coming and going. And still others explore luck as a characteristic that some are fortunate to possess, and other sorry sods are not.
One that stuck with me is this, by a not so Irish author, but rather a Japanese philosopher; "The day you decide to do it is your lucky day." Which begs the question, will you make TODAY your lucky day? And what will you DECIDE to do? When we pair "decision" with "today", we can feel very lucky to be feeling the power of our own choice and the gratefulness of being here, in this moment. Go ahead, get LUCKY!
