Some of my Japanese friends said to me; “You are SO lucky, to have a job you enjoy (in Japanese, of course)” – hmmm…
Yes, I am. I am so, damn lucky, that I get to do what I like and get paid – tour guiding, writing, interpreting, elfing, men’s-underwear-consulting, homeschooling (for my kids, not paid), dancing (not technically a job… wait, I did get paid to dance hula) – anything I do, pretty much, I enjoy. So, I am lucky.
For Japanese people, who tend to believe that “suffering is a virtue,” my lucky life is not so acceptable, apparently.
Now… Is Luck really just a Luck?
Let’s see…
I think Luck comes from the encounter with right people at the right timing.
I enjoy my life.
I enjoy other people’s lives.
I enjoy good vibes from me, and from other people.
I appreciate things and people around me, therefore,
I want to interact with them anytime, anywhere.
I end up having many encounters, which bring me more lucky situations.
Oh, and I work really, really hard, too!
So, for my Japanese friends:
“Sorry that I am so lucky – and I am trying to feel suffered by being lucky, but I can’t – what a terrible suffering!” – see? I am still a Japanese
