It is said we make our own luck, and a lot of times I believe that. Thing is from time to time an external force plays a part in our luck. I have said many times karma is the great equalizer. If you put negativity out into the world it will come back to you. This applies to many things in life. I have told many of my friends if you brag and think you are better then someone else you will mess up. It is life's way of knocking you off your high horse.
There is another expression pride goes before a fall, Two people I know found that out this very night they were bragging a lot and they fell on their faces. They had too much pride and they took a fall as a result. I never say I am good at anything, but I have been know to ask people am I good or what? lol By me asking others if I am good I am not bragging on myself I am letting others have the opportunity to tell me if I am good or not. That way karma does not get me for bragging.
There are other things that effect what happens to us also. Have you ever heard of the law of positive attraction. It states that you get what you attract to you. You attract these things to you by keeping positive thoughts about them in your head. I will give you a for instance. I have gotten quite a bit of debt this Christmas. but I believe it will all be paid off by March. Now I am not going to just set around and wait for it to magically disappear. It does not work that way, but I believe things will happen that will allow me to shift things around so I can pay it off in a timely manner. I am going to attract the funds to me. I do not know how but I will. Last time I had something like this going on where I needed something and did not have the money to get it quite to my surprise a friend bought it for me. Those that I actually call my friends are some of the best people in the world. They are loving, caring, generous, understanding when I get nuts, and I do a lot. They are always there to left me up when I fall. That is why I would do nearly anything for those I call my friends. I have many buddies but a buddy is not the same as a friend. A buddy you can talk to or play games with , but a friend will be there when you are sick and scared. I have one friend that will do nearly anything I ask her too Friends like that are rare and hard to find so I am hanging on to her with both hands .
