I think about luck a lot, in terms of my own experiences. I wonder at whether it's really luck or maybe something else. Some people would say it's more blessing than luck...some people would say a lot of things. But the bottom line is, I think I'm incredibly lucky in just about every area of my life, and I don't really understand it.
Some examples. I've been lucky enough to have financial support from my mom. I've never had to buy a car or get a job. I'm almost done with college, and I've been able to pay for it because of my mom. That brings me to my grades. A lot of my success in college I've chalked up to luck. I almost slept through an entire final exam once, but a friend who wasn't even in the class randomly called me that morning and woke me up...so I made it to the exam about half an hour through it. I freaked out once over a paper and had a panic attack, and the professor gave me a 2 day extension when he had made it clear that extensions were not an option.
I've never been attacked, never been horribly abused, never had to change a tire, never had a car break down...I was never horribly made fun of in high school, or even middle school...
Some of this probably wasn't luck, as it was due to the kindness of others, but that in itself is lucky in a way.
I wonder if I've got a huge karmic backlash coming my way.
I had left my iPod plugged into my car all night, and checked to see if my car would start, and it did. I told my mom and she said, "You're disgusting," because that was very lucky. I told her I'll probably have a really horrible last few years, and it got me thinking all over again about luck and all that.
My biggest complaints in life are my anxiety and a few minor things that can easily change.
I wonder, I wonder, I wonder.
