People Who Are Lucky
None of living humans will state that life nowadays is easy, no matter what your achievements are. People say they are under a strain, but they are the producers of it and there is nothing they can do about being dependent on it. We live a comfortable life using modern technologies to make it easier to cope with everyday routine, but when a problem comes up we quickly hide behind the wall of fear and misunderstanding not to get closer to the dangerous solution. In everybodys life comes the point when it is impossible to stand the strain and you run for shelter of your couch and support of your friend that is always near to help you whenever you need him. You adore his demeanor, his appearance, his sense of humor and his deep knowledge of every subject you happened to touch upon. You know that you are jealous and you wish to be just a bit like your successful friend. And the reason of this is constant presence of luck in his life that irritates you with decrease of the last in your life. His kind words in your address do not help and make the situation even more severe. You finally realize that depression is somehow caused not only by problems surrounding you, but by jealousy you cant get rid of.
People try not to speak about the reason of them being depressed. But they lively discuss the evil jokes of destiny that gives all possibilities to one and takes them away from another. People that are can find a purse in the middle of the sidewalk, take the last train even being late, turn in written assignments and getting the highest grade, meet a person and never part, are considered extremely lucky. But what is luck? Luck is an abstract noun that means an unexpected result that is extremely positive and was achieved with no effort from the side of the object. Some can argue with this definition. Nobody can take away all the possibilities unless you let them go without fighting for them. You have an aim, but you need to take some actions to realize it. To reach success you have to be active, focused on positive, hardworking and striving for knowledge. Success comes with time, not with desire. If the first try was unsuccessful keep trying and finally youll get the desired result. Try, try, never say die, says the saying that means that every try if it is hard enough will be duly rewarded. Start accomplishing what youve planned and everything will change for you from no on.
Therell be no possibility to stop and look back onto what was wrong and was it bad luck at all. If such thoughts still appear in your head, try to ignore them and focus on other important things. Now it is quite obvious that definition of luck given above is quite subjective. Now you dont think that success of your friend is a matter of luck. He is self-motivated, active, creative and willing to move on and these are features that make a winner of him. One more quotes, Looser blames his failure on bad luck; a winner blames his failure on his carelessness. You know who you are now and you have a choice: to keep up if you are a winner and to change the attitude if you are a looser. Believe in second chance and people will consider you to be lucky.
BONUS : Personal Growth Through Writing
From, 5 Seeds for Growing Your Writing and Writing Your Life Your Most Important Relationship
The greater voyage of living begins with the intention to form a relationship. A relationship with yourself. Writing is a profound tool for doing so, but to be effective it requires the formation of another intimate connection. One with the page. From a practical standpoint, its easy. The only tools you need are a pen and paper. But to create a relationship that honors both the art of writing and the path of personal development, more is required. The tools the pen and paper - are of no use if two other elements are not present: Commitment and Permission.
Be certain I do not utter these words lightly; I know from experience the quiver they stir in the gut, the sweat they bring to the hands, and the turning away from many an adventure that has been done in their name. Still, they are the companions you must befriend if you are to become a traveler on this journey, if you are to come to know and grow yourself through the act of writing.
Lets begin by expanding upon what I mean by a relationship with the page. If you choose to make writing a part of your life it is no different than any other relationship you forge. A simple, basic truth is that if you want your connections with your significant other, your family and your friends to work, to be strong and good, then you must, most essentially, show up to them. You cannot ignore or neglect them; but, must, with willingness of spirit, offer to them your time, your energy and your enduring presence. You must, in short, commit. It is no different with writing.
Commitment
Writing that is real, that moves and touches and transforms is not created by making of it a mere acquaintance. Rather, such writing is developed through an intimate connection, one made by showing up to meet the page, by discovering the words and energy within you that desire and demand expression, and by embracing the voice that is found between the lines. Understand, writing such as this is the greatest commitment you will ever make, for it is, remember, the commitment to enter into an authentic relationship with yourself. No matter what genre you engage in, your work will ring with only the amount of truth that you are willing to know within yourself.
And so, if you are to write, and write deeply, you must commit to this relationship with all of its perils (for without doubt you will meet upon your way characters, places and experiences you are not so fond of). Just as when stepping into any new relationship, or setting out on any voyage, you do so with your vulnerability exposed, unsure of what lies ahead, but willing, still, to enter into the unknown.
Why? For the treasures only found only in the adventure of relationship. The joy, the beauty, the rawness of being. The startling depth and breadth of experience. The way in which moments so painful, when met face-to-face, can become those that renew your vision and leave you wiser.
Too often, a relationship with oneself is the last to be given time or attention. But it is the most crucial. And the kind of relationship that the page demands is the kind that leaves nothing hidden. But it is also the kind that promises to love no matter what is found.
Getting Started
And so, how do you embark upon this relationship with the page, and with yourself? You write. And you write. And you write.
Develop a writing practice.
Call it journaling. Call it Ground Writing, as I do. Call it whatever you like, but if writing is a way in which you choose to know yourself, if writing is a skill you wish to hone or an art you desire to engage in, then you must first decide so, and then commit.
Simple steps:
Get a notebook or journal anything will do a pad of paper, a spiral notebook with your favorite cartoon character on the front, a leather bound journal
Find a pen not a pencil or computer keyboard. Let yourself learn the flow of your words as they move from heart and gut to hand without erasure.
For one week commit to daily writing.
Decide upon an amount of time I suggest starting at 5 minutes and increasing each day by another 5 minutes.
Choose a time of day.
Put the time on your calendar for each day of the next 7. Make an appointment with yourself and honor it as you would any other.
When the time arrives, find a comfortable place to sit, take notebook and pen in hand, set a timer, and write.
If you dont know what to write, begin with this: Right now, I and let your hand decide the next word, and the next
When the week comes to an end, review your commitment.
oWere you able to keep it?
oIf not, what obstacles stood in your way?
oWhat is one thing you could do to remove the obstacles or work around them?
oWould you like to continue writing? Daily? If not, how often?
oWhat writing practice would work for you? What schedule would you be willing to commit to? Write it down your, try it out.
Continue to review and revise as necessary. Stay Committed.
Receiving Permission
Permission. I wonder when you read that word, what comes to mind from whom do you think I mean for you to gain permission?
Not from your spouse or your children or your boss. But from yourself.
One of the biggest reasons that students give for not continuing a writing practice is the belief that it is a self-indulgent act for which they have no time. I realize that life is filled with commitments and that it is easy to turn writing for your own purposes into an expendable hobby. Practices done for reasons outside the scope of fiscal or social productivity tend to be surrendered first. But to truly embark upon this voyage in a way that will enhance your writing and your knowing of yourself, it is imperative that you allow for the opportunity to step upon the path.
Ask yourself: Why do I want to write? Write down your answer.
Now say aloud, I give myself permission to write because (fill in your answer from above).
Accept that whatever the reason you desire to write, it is reason enough. Period.
Write down your permission statement from above and post it someplace where you will see it everyday, and when you do, repeat it again and again and again, until you deeply and fully believe it.
Planting Seeds
And now begin. Write, and know that each time you do you plant a seed in your consciousness, one that grows with every word, one that will bear fruit in the shape of your own creative life, that will, in time, produce the seeds of your next journey.
