Cornflake, my cat, found a ladybug in the bathroom this morning. This might not seems unusual for the month of May but given that there was an inch of snow on the ground at the same time, it really added to the sense of divine intervention! Ladybugs are known to be a symbol of luck so I took it to be an excellent sign of how the day would progress, despite having to wear my winter coat on the first day of May – the 18th day before my 40th birthday.
When you expect that your day will be lucky, it affects the mindset that you carry into everything you do. It changes the way you are BEING. That, in turn, changes what you are DOING and, by extension, changes what you HAVE. Believing in your fortune helps to create it. That is what I experienced throughout the day but perhaps not as you would expect to define fortune.
I didn’t win the lottery or even a free coffee. I didn’t receive any presents or proposals. But with my heart wide open to receive fortune, I received the following: the love of my children, the kind words of a stranger, the praise of a client, the encouragement of a friend, and much, much more. I felt a glow rise within me that took away the back pain that has plagued me for a few days; it took away the slight anxiety I had regarding a new relationship; it took away any doubt I had in my ability to create my own fortune.
Changing my thoughts – my way of being – changed everything for me yesterday. Imagine! Thanks Cornflake!
