I am coming to believe that the greatest stroke of luck a person can have in their life is stability. One of the biggest factors in my inability to get ahead is stuff keeps happening. Last night I came home to learn that our AC wasn’t working again. This is extremely bad news. I was six months to a year from creating another income stream and the universe just had to throw a curveball.
It is frustrating making plans and watching them being destroyed by an unprecedented level of bad luck. Man plans and God laughs as they say or you never know what worse luck your bad luck is keeping you from. I have no idea which saying is relevant here because a busted HVAC unit feels like nothing but the worst kind of luck.
Hopefully it is minor. I have no idea or no hope that it is going to be but I would really like for it to be minor. Last year we had a worm die inside our unit and it shorted the thing and it was an easy fix. I don’t know if that is the case or if the whole thing is gone this time. One way or another this isn’t an issue that can be kicked down the street. This is one of those problems that needs solving, but it is frustrating that it happened now.
Waiting until next year would have been so much nicer. Let me have a stability period. I haven’t even entered it yet. Everything is still moving around and going crazy. I still need to hire for Stable Hands, get through closings and get properties rented for Campbell Dr, and keep moving the family savings in the correct direction.
That is what I need to do. Get things moving in the correct direction. That requires bad luck to stop rearing it’s ugly head. That is what I need to happen. No more bad luck for the next year, at the least.
People never want to admit the influence luck has on our success and our failures. I am sitting at a point where a good decision could be a bad decision in a moment, but didn’t I say I took out that personal loan to fund the next emergency. I just didn’t expect it to be a week later. How’s that for luck?
