Why do some people seem to have all the luck?
Others never seem to get a break and while that may be unavoidable, it could be they simply forget to watch out for those little black clouds or carry an umbrella.
I have noticed there are certain habits that shield people from the rain that falls on others’ parades.
One is to open up that umbrella, even when it is inconvenient, or awkward, or downright annoying. Don’t give up when billed wrong, or the glasses aren’t right, or the maintenance people don’t show up. It’s worth hitching up your trousers and standing your ground.
Another is to pay attention to details. Sometimes it is possible to avoid walking under those clouds by taking other steps, but not always. Be a defensive driver. Notice what other people are doing and saying. Check out the alternatives, life is a buffet of choices, take advantage of that.
And last, but certainly not least, don’t count on others to know what you are worth. People often take their cues from others. They think you really know! This is your life and you need to make it a good one.
