The Power of Luck and Karma: A Different Perspective:
Winston Churchill's words, "I prefer not to wish anyone health or wealth — but only luck," resonate deeply when we consider the stories of those who survived life's unexpected events by sheer chance. From the Titanic to the 9/11 attacks, luck has played a crucial role in determining outcomes.
Stories of Luck:
- A senior executive survived 9/11 because he took his son to his first day of kindergarten.
- A man lived because it was his turn to grab doughnuts.
- A woman survived because her alarm didn't go off.
- Someone else was late due to a New Jersey traffic jam.
- One person missed the bus, another spilled coffee and had to change clothes.
- A man's car wouldn't start, while another returned home to answer a phone call.
- A parent was delayed because their child was slow, and someone couldn't catch a cab.
- The story that stands out is of a man who stopped to buy band-aids for his sore feet caused by new shoes.
Karma and Luck:
Perhaps these events are not just coincidences but a form of karma — the universe's way of guiding us or protecting us from harm. It's as if the universe conspired to save these individuals, highlighting the interconnectedness of our lives.
A New Perspective:
These stories teach us to view life's unexpected twists differently. What seems like a setback or inconvenience might actually be divine timing or karma, guiding us to where we need to be.
Conclusion:
Next time your morning doesn't go as planned, remember: maybe it's not a setback, but luck or karma in disguise. Trust in the timing, and don't stress — you might be exactly where you're meant to be.
