Luck is when preparation meets opportunity

Sometimes it's very easy to sit around and think about all the things that are wrong in your life. I've been trying really hard to think of the positive things that I have. We, as Americans, are all very "lucky", but I don't believe luck exists, as the title explains. Maybe it's the new optimistic view, maybe an afternoon of being sick and watching episode after episode of Extreme Home Makeover and 16 and Pregnant just does that to you.
I don't really know if I believe in karma or any of that stuff. What I do believe is if you are a good person, tell the truth and strive to do your best, you will be blessed with friends and people who love you. They will pay you back, and they will have your back. People will be nice to you, good things will happen and you will be happy. This, of course, takes some optimism on your part.

Sure, there are alot of bad people who are popular. We all know someone who is like that. The truth is, do people "like" this person because they are rich? Because if they aren't friends with this person, they are afraid they will get made fun of like the other who defy them? There's always an ulterior motive. No one trusts mean people, and I guarantee they don't have real friends.

Being a nice person isn't hard. It's actually pretty simple. If you feel like something is mean and wrong, don't do it. You have to adjust the standard of a "good person" to your personal morals. If you are naturally a mean person, then be a mean person. Tell me how that works out for you.

The bottom line is if you live like you should, are happy with yourself and have alot of love, you are lucky. Here are some things that I think make me lucky;

1.) I am sick, luckily I have a great doctor I can go to , and heath insurance
2.) It's raining, but maybe that means morels tomorrow :)
3.) I have to take a stupid test tomorrow, but at least I am able to go to school.
