A terrific article



Richard Wiseman is a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire. His book is The Luck Factor (Century).

"My research revealed that lucky people generate good fortune via four basic principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good."

In the Aftermath

As you probably know, my friend passed last week and I've been a bit 'distracted'. Truth be told, I've had at least 6 friends die within 2 years -- some through accidents and the others through illness.

I truly believe this life is a precious opportunity to grow and develop the soul. It's a grand and glorious adventure. Each day we have the opportunity to share our joy, love and positive perspective.

The Lab/Counselors 'tool' from Silva gives me great comfort. Going to my lab I can invite in my loved ones and have a visit. Today I talked with Jozie. Some would say it's fantasy but I say it's imagination. Big difference! Call it what you will, it gives me peace.

Perhaps it works that way for you too. I'd love to hear your thoughts and stories.

Blessings...
