The other day I was cleaning out a desk drawer and came across a pile of fortunes that I had been saving over the past few months. For some reason, I don’t seem to be able to part with fortunes; I think it secretly has something to do with not wanting to break the chain of fate as I strongly believe in “what goes around comes around”.
After weighing what to do with all these pearls of wisdom, I decided that if I “pay it forward” and share my wishes of good fortune, then I would be able to toss those itty, bitty pieces of paper without guilt; this way maybe good fortune will still rain down upon me. Here are my top 10 fortunes that I’d like to pass on to you.
-
Today’s action becomes tomorrow’s habit.
-
Enthusiasm is contagious; not having enthusiasm is also contagious.
-
There’s no boosting a man up the ladder unless he’s willing to climb.
-
Do you see difficulty behind every opportunity or opportunity behind every difficulty?
-
Winning isn’t everything but the will to win IS.
-
Cleaning up the past will always clear up the future.
-
It is not in your character to give up.
-
Instead of giving someone a piece of your mind, give someone the peace of your mind.
-
Don’t be hasty, prosperity will knock on your door soon.
-
Never doubt logical things.
I will continue to collect these fortunes (as fortune cookies are one of my favorite treats 🙂 ), but by sharing them with others, I know I will no longer have to worry about breaking the chain of fate AND I will be the better for paying it forward.
