Bad Luck or Blessing?

A lot of people call me and ask about ‘their bad luck’. They ask why they have so much of it and what to do about. I ask them sincerely from the heart to really think about it- how much of it is really bad luck? That is not a throw away question from me. As I work with people everyday I feel it very much will often depend on our perception an awful lot of the time- let me explain:

I spoke to a woman who claimed to be plagued by bad luck- for example, as she got lost on her way to a job interview, never got there or got the job, but she did meet the love of he life en route and is still madely in love one year on.

A man who lost his sports car in a poker game, to find 7 weeks later it had been destroyed in a fatal accident.

The ex wife of a lottery winner- whom had been perfectly happy before the win- but had used the money to drink himself to death when he won it!

The man who woke up late and missed his flight on a long planned ‘trip of a lifetime’ to later hear as he was feeling terribly sorry for himself that the plane had in fact crashed- and he had had- an extremely lucky escape.

A couple I know, went after one house after another, and always seemed to loose them at the last minute before the sale was complete- who ended up getting the bargain of a life time at very short notice. They were offered a house at a tenth of the market value out of the blue.

Be very sure, that when your plans go astray that it is bad luck before claiming it as such. Try to see ‘delays’ in your plans as a possible opportunity, we can’t always see the bigger picture- sometimes small delays, detours and apparent ‘bad luck’ are blessings in disguise.
