So this whole luck blog started as a New Year's resolution to be grateful every day, focus on gratitude for all the good things in life and assist myself in becoming a "lucky person". As a wise man pointed out on on New Year's Day, luck is in part, perspective, and how you view events and experiences in your life.
He told a story about a man who was in a bank when a robbery occurred. This man happened to get shot during the course of the robbery. A stray bullet hit him in the right upper arm, going through and through.
When later asked by a reporter about this horrendous event, the trauma of the robbery, the pain of being shot...... he said..... "I am the luckiest person I know. I am so fortunate to have only been shot in the arm and the bullet when through and through. I am very grateful". This is the glass half full kind of attitude I strive to remember and practice every day.
