Success, it does smile on you!

Today I found success in a way I could have never imagined!

Luck! Is it real or is it part of our imagination? Does luck really exist or do we simply imply it to be because we received some fortune by mere coincidence? Is someone truly luckier than someone else?

I use to think so. Luck, as far as I could tell was set aside for others. I certainly wasn’t lucky. Everything I got I got because of sheer persistence, hard work, commitment and effort. I can’t remember ever having luck bestowing me with a windfall of any kind.

Until today! Armed with $300 cash in my pocket I went grocery shopping at the local supermarket. The parking lot was crowded and people were moving about everywhere. After several minutes circling around I was able to secure a parking spot.

Once inside the market I took my time and carefully selected the products I wanted to buy. With my cart full I approached the checkout stand. After several minutes of shuffling groceries cart in and cart out it was time to pay. To my utter dismay I couldn’t find the cash I had earlier withdrawn from the bank.

I checked every pocket, my wallet and every pocket again. I felt a thick lump in my throat. Embarrassed I told the cashier I had forgotten my money in my car. The truth was I couldn’t remember where I had placed my money …… !

As I got near the car I noticed pieces of paper lying around on the parking lot floor. I jumped. Sure enough it was my money scattered about. I got on hands and knees and started grabbing all the bills I could find.

Some bills were lying close to my car. A few I found underneath the cars parked on either side of mine. Still a few more I was able to catch just as the wind scooped them up. All in all it took me 5 minutes or so to gather all the money I could find. I got up, went to sit in my car and took a deep breath.

Then I counted the money. Low and behold, not a single dollar was missing. All $300 were safe and sound in the palm of my hand. I couldn’t believe my good fortune. I had spent at least 30 minutes or more shopping. The parking lot was crowded. There was a slight wind.

How could it be that absolutely no one had seen that money lying on the ground scattered about? Why hadn’t the wind blown my money around in many directions? I was as flabbergasted as I was exhilarated. There and then I realized the enormous fortune that I had just received. The gods were truly smiling on me today.

Today I realize that I am lucky, I am blessed and I am being watched over. I realize that everything negative that occurred to me in the past was either caused by my own doing or because I let it happen. If ever anything should have turned about negatively it certainly would have been the loss of $300 today.

What are the odds of loosing $300 cash and finding it all back? If this isn’t luck then I don’t know what is. Today I look at life with a new perspective. I know now that I have everything I need to be successful in whatever I choose to be.

Yes, there will be a setback or two. That’s part of it. But I won’t dwell on those anymore. I will look forward with my head held high and a smile in my heart because today I learned that luck does exist. More than that, I realize that luck is there when you least expect it.

Today I was given the sign that I am truly a lucky and fortunate man with a great future ahead of me. And there is nothing, and I do mean absolutely nothing that I can not do or accomplish if I truly desire and am willing to get it.

I learned today that with the slightest bit of a true, sincere and firm believe that all things are possible actually make it so. Even if that believe is limited to finding back $300 cash money in crowded parking lot.
