The question today is: Are good things happening to me (they are) because I am living in a grateful, happy state, or am I in a grateful happy state because good things are happening to me?

I don't care. I tend not to concern myself with things that affect me indirectly. (Serenity prayer).

I have gotten used to not taking negativity personally - and not, personally, being negative.

I don't do what I don't want to do - and I try to make the best of things that come my way (usually by looking for the humor).

Good things happen to me a lot these days. I am happy these days. What a life!

But my situation doesn't seem to be the result of any effort made on my part - I didn't earn any good luck. Most of my positive current situation comes directly from trying to overcome and recover from serious mistakes I made.

It's enough to make you wonder if luck is a thing.

I think I'm lucky, and I define that as consequences being positive, no matter the polarity of the action. On that basis, I'm the luckiest guy I know.
