Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol IV (Nov 2011 thru Apr 2012) | Page 57

And how do we go about doing this , you might ask ? Well , it ’ s pretty simple actually — Whenever you “ feel bad ”; whenever you encounter some “ bad luck ” in your life , just reach out do something Kind for another person …
* When your are ill or injured , give someone a smile . * When you are tired , utter a few Kind words to a friend . * When you are angry , forgive an enemy from your past . * When you are scared , do an anonymous good deed . * When you are sad , be compassionate to those suffering similarly .
Ironically , when you have the courage to do such things , not only do these simple actions become immensely Power-full for others , they also fully neutralize your own suffering . Indeed , such “ irrational ” acts of Kindness are so potent that they actually heal the body and mind — bringing wellness to the unwhole , energy to the fatigued , inner Peace to the angry , courage to the frightened , and Joy to the depressed … Essentially , when we have the courage to make such “ radical ” choices — when we choose to be Kind to others when we are least inclined to do so — our tragedies immediately transform into blessings .
* In this way , where others see misfortune , we see opportunity … * In this way , we reclaim the Power over our own existence … * In this way , we literally “ make our own luck ”.
And THIS is a new way we can truly CELEBRATE the amazing gift that is our conscious life … As such , I wish you all lots & lots of LUCK today !
“ A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all . It ’ s seizing the day … It ’ s seeing what other people don ’ t see , and then pursuing that vision .” ~ Howard Schultz
LUCK is a verb … … got LUCK ?
