✴️Good luck doesn't arrive with a bang | It is quiet and wears a familiar face No.128

The other day, I was waiting for the light to change at my usual intersection.

When it turned green and I started to walk, a car that ignored the red light sped right past me.

If I had taken just one step sooner, I would have certainly been involved in an accident.

At that moment, my blood ran cold, and at the same time, I realized, 'Ah, I was lucky.'

In most cases, we only judge whether luck is good or bad based on 'events that have occurred'.

If you win the lottery, you say you are 'lucky,' and if you lose your wallet, you lament that you are 'unlucky.'

However, in reality, there are far more disasters that we avoid in our daily lives.

Not getting into an accident, not falling ill, not getting caught up in unreasonable trouble.

We rarely pay attention to these 'events that did not happen.'

Humans are sensitive to misfortune but insensitive to good luck.

That is why we quickly think, 'I'm having a bad day,' but we rarely think, 'I didn't encounter any major disasters today.'

But if you think about it calmly, ending the day without being struck by disaster is, in itself, good luck.

If you think of good luck as a 'special event,' you will inevitably be left with a sense of insufficiency or dissatisfaction.

But if you reframe it as 'peace is good luck,' the daily scenery changes significantly.

The fact that you are safe is something to be grateful for in itself.

Perhaps those who can realize that are the ones who have luck on their side the most.
