Good Luck is All Around Us at West!

The worst of bad luck can turn into the best of good luck. People always talk about how they have a lot of bad luck or how they have loads of good luck. The truth is, everyone has ups and downs that will come with life. Part of the fun is living your life even when things get hard. When it comes to luck, I find that good luck is always around us, even in times when we don’t see it. When you think that you are the worst and most unlucky person in the world, good things will still happen to you. Great things are all around, you just need to know where to look. 

With that being said, when you have that feeling of good luck most likely good things are going to happen to you. So it is always important to look at things with a positive attitude and open mindset. When you are open-minded about things, it causes positive vibes toward others, and will make you feel better about yourself in return. You may ask, "How can I feel lucky if I don’t feel happy at all?" My answer to this is to do what you love, continue to be your wonderful self, and never give up when you have a goal to achieve. Believe in yourself and continue to be proud of what you are accomplishing. The happier you are the more likely you will have good luck. 

Furthermore, I understand that life has its challenges and sometimes it can be hard to feel excited and want to keep being happy when things get hard. When things get their hardest, you need to pick yourself up and know that you are amazing. You are probably saying, “But I don’t have good luck and never will.” The truth is: yes, you do! You have the light and the happiness! So go out and make the most of your life. Enjoy the little things in life that you may expect to be so ordinary. Those ordinary things can always turn into the extraordinary, and that is what we have here at West!
