The recipe for luck.





Do you believe in luck?

I often question this. Do we bring about our own good fortune, or is there really a random field of energy that graces a few?

I looked up the four leaf clover this morning. I knew it represented luck, but could not remember what the leaves represented.

According to legend, each leaf represents something.

The first is hope, the second is faith, third is love and fourth represents happiness.

Hope, Faith, Love and Happiness -

Not one of the leaves represents "luck". But, it seems to me that this legend is indicating that the mixture of one's hope, faith, love and happiness is the perfect recipe for luck.

So, like other mysteries in life, I think that if we turn our attention away from "luck" and focus on the ingredients that produce good fortune, we can truly experience joy.

Are you hopeful? Faithful? Loving? Are you doing all that you can to bring happiness into your life and others? Find the leaf that is weakest for you and begin practicing it this week.
