The True Meaning of Luck

How do you feel when people tell you that you’re lucky?

Do you think “Gosh, you’re right!  Life has handed me some pretty amazing things!” or “Yeah, I guess so. But I haven’t won the lottery yet and that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow has been surprisingly elusive!’ or “If by ‘lucky’ you mean ‘really, really hard working and proactive’ then yes! I’m super lucky!”

And while I was incredibly flattered I wasn’t exactly sure if I believed her. For me, ‘luck’ is a combination of positive thinking and, well – I’ll tell you what my Grandpa Greenie (yes, that was his real name!) had to say about luck.

The Benefits of Healthy Boundaries

Years ago, I worked with a freelancer who set the most perfect ground rules at the beginning of our relationship: Don’t call - instead, email me, I prefer email. If you email after this time, I won’t respond until that time. And we won’t discuss work on the weekends -...
