A 55 year old man, born on May 5th, married 25 years (or five sets of five years), father of five, earning $55,555 a year has never hesitated telling people his lucky number was five.
A friend called to tell the man of a horse, "Lucky 5", which was racing in the fifth race at 5 o' clock in lane 5. The man couldn't resist and immediately withdrew $5,555 from his savings account, went to the track on 5th Street, walked up to window 5 and placed a bet on "Lucky 5" (which was paying 5:1).
Guess what happened!!?!
The horse came in fifth.
Did you think the horse would win? Doesn't it make more sense that the horse would finish in fifth now that you think about it? Did you get caught up in the emotional result?
How many times do we wish for one thing even though the most likely result is something else? Not even a string of good luck or "good omens" insure success. Emotion is great, but not always the best mechanism to make clear decisions or to change outcomes. It takes more.
Don't just let things happen, make things happen!
Ask a man a question, he'll give you an answer; Give that man a Blog and he'll spew for the rest of his life.
