Friday the 13th, the first of 3 in 2012. The next one is in April and then in July of this year. So much has been written on the superstition of this day. But truly it is another day, just another day to be great and to make a difference. But here is some interesting facts on the day from wishgoodluck.com hope you enjoy the link.
Like the quote above I do believe that hard work and a positive focus everyday will bring you to a happier place more often than not. I also believe that luck is often followed by diligence and constantly showing up with consistency. Good luck and bad luck is just an excuse but of course we all would rather have the good luck. It has so much more happiness within it.
Luck is also in your Mind:
If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right.
: o ) Henry Ford
It is all in your attitude, always has been, always will be. How you view this day is how it will most likely turn out. But if you focus on the gifts you have been given, the talents that you have will turn out much good. Good for you and for those that surround you. So share your good, share your efforts that can make a difference for so many and may the 'luck' shine down on you this day, heck everyday.
This weeks new affirmation :
I choose to focus on the energy that I create with my happiness. My smile can brighten another persons spirit quick and efficiently. The difference I make is not in the moment that I just shared with another, that smile, the kind word but it is in the difference that is created by the ripple effect of love and kindness. I choose to share that ripple and it flows out, further and further each day. The ripple effect of laughter, of kindness and gratitude. I am the energy that can make a difference for future generations. I am one but with others I become a small group of people that can truly change anything for the better.
117 words that I hope starts to change your spirit from within. The spirit that says, yes we can and we should make a difference.
Enjoy your week, share a smile, share in some laughter and dream big and love always : ) Smiles to you this day and everyday
