I’m convinced that luck comes in waves. In the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed that a few people around me are going through rough and tough times, while others are at their optimum. Case in point, one family member was recently laid off, while another was offered a promotion and raise. His wife was also offered a job with a competitive salary. Earlier this year their situations were reversed. What the heck is going on? Is this some kind of reversal of fortune? Is it their turn to get showered with good luck from the universe? Does good and bad luck come in waves? I’m starting to think yes.
This good luck occurred within the last couple of weeks, which brings me to this – the moments before the New Year always count. Whatever you want to do this year, whatever dreams you have can still be reached. Don’t give up just because you may be in the midst of a bad luck wave. Keep pushing along because good luck is heading your way.
Confession: I’ve been putting off the completion of my novel because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it scares me. Sounds strange, I know, but exposing my inner most thoughts is a frightening thing for me, hell, for any writer. It’s a vulnerability I didn’t expect to have and one I didn’t prepared for, but I’m pushing forward. There’s not much sense in keeping my manuscript hidden on a file folder on my desktop. My plan is to finish my novel by the end of this year and edit it early next year to get this pony in the publishing show.
I want to leave this year on a high note. Don’t you? If so, then take this as your sign to sprint to the finish line and get whatever you need to get done – done.
I’m wishing all you writers and artists out there good luck on your current project! You can do it.
“Let me know – do I still got time to grow? Things ain’t always set in stone. Let me know, let me know. Seems like street lights, glowing, happen to be just like moments, passing in front of me, so I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare. See, I know my destination, but I’m just not there.”

I’m hoping, wishing, praying to feel the upswing of luck as I focus on my WiPs with the end of the year coming.
Here’s a virtual toast to rounding out the year in the way you want the new year to be: Positive, growing and strong.
“Confession: I’ve been putting off the completion of my novel because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and it scares me.”
God, I know that feeling, and I entirely sympathize. It’s frightening to look forward and possibly see a future that involves a printed manuscript with half-torn pages sitting there, waiting for the red pen, but only gathering dust.
Go through with it! Kick its ass, take its name, and remember how much work you put into that bugger. Your future is yours — don’t be afraid of bringing a brilliant brainchild to life! 🙂
@Angela – What a lovely comment. A virtual toast – love that! Thank you for stopping by and commenting on my post.
@Rance – I’m glad you understand. I’ve been feeling like I’m the only one! I’m going hardcore on my manuscript. All the best with yours. 🙂
I must be on the bad luck wave of a tsunami then!
My mum says luck is just around the corner but i feel I am on a traffic island!
@Simon – There are times when it seems like the world is coming down on you. I know that feeling. I’ve been there. You know what though? The bad times will pass. They always do. Keep pushing along. Good things will surely come your way. I believe that and you should too.
