A Lifetimes Search.

How many people all over the world has been on the trail of the search for that elusive thing called luck.

Own up you too are guilty as perhaps ninety percent of the worlds population present, past and future.

Not many find that elusive thing, I myself must admit that I too have been one of the searchers now after a long lifetime of searching I have given up and now know that all such searches are in vain.

Luck is all around us. Listen to the choir of birds that wake us every morning with their songs of eternal praise. See the tiny world of the many coloured insects that flatter into and out of our lives. It is the small things that give pleasure.

It has taken me a lifetime to find out that luck is a word that should not exist. Look at what your own small world can give you if you only open your mind to what is going on around you.

Did that small puppy give you pleasure as you watched it chasing its own tail. That kitten that got entangled with a ball of wool, it is the small things that give me pleasure and a feeling of luckiness.

I sometimes ask myself what would my life have been like if I had been born into a so-called rich family. Money would have been there perhaps for my own wants and needs but would it have made me happier, I think now for them all of the experiences that I have lived through might not have happened. Would that have been the life of luck that I have tried to find in this my life.

I now make this profound statement there is no such thing as luck. One is chasing an idea that does not really exist. I know that not many of you will agree with me but then most of you have not reached this time of awareness that comes to the elderly people of all races.

Do the Eskimos living in the lands of ice and snow chase after this intangible thing called luck, I think not they have to use the time provided to get a living on whatever nature has provided.

Think about what I have written are you still willing to waste your time looking for that elusive thing called luck.
