Fortune Cookies

I keep fortunes. Well, I keep the poignant ones. I think though completely random and trivial, sometimes you will crack open that cookie and get one that just fits. Maybe it fits a conversation you've just had. Or maybe it relates to an important decision you are mulling over. Maybe its just downright funny. Any way you shake it, when I come across a fortune that rings true for me, I hang on to it.



I have a 10 fortunes hanging in my office in various places. I've kept them as reminders, or reasons to smile, or because occasionally they validate my feelings, as odd as that may sound.



Under the topic - Just because they are good things to remember, I have:

Any day above ground is a good day.

Common Sense is not so common.



For a little motivation or inspiration:

Winners make their own luck.

Your golden opportunity is coming.

Change your thoughts and you change the world.



For a little bit of advice to myself:

Think before sharing with others.

Avoid compulsively making things worse.

Do not give up, the beginning is always the hardest.



And under the topic of oh-so perfect for my life and certain people in it:

It's amazing how much good you can do it you don't care who gets the credit.



Ever get the feeling that there is some divine reason for certain things to fall into your hands when they do? Yeah, me too.
