If you are anything like me, you spent this last weekend watching the NCAA tournament and celebrating St. Patrick's Day. Luck... the luck of the underdog.... the luck of the Irish. Do you believe in luck? Or does everything in your life happen for a reason?
Why did #15 seed Lehigh beat #2 Duke and screw up brackets all around the nation? And I don't know about you, but I had Missouri in the final four on one of my sheets. Where is Norfolk State anyway!?!?! Ten of my teams are still alive for the Sweet Sixteen - not bad ;) So what is luck? Swishing the three pointer at the buzzer? Would it have mattered if that one guy would have made his free throws in the first quarter? Or if the refs "would have been on our side?"
Some people spend HOURS filling out their brackets, researching stats and trying to figure out the science behind March Madness. Others pick the teams with the coolest names, highest rank, or cutest players ;). Some favor underdogs and others have watched all season and think they have a pretty good handle on who is going to win.
So why does the girl down the hall who has never watched a basketball game in her life end up winning the pot of money? Is it luck? Coincidence?
Today's Starfish
Today, I wanted to stick with the theme of luck. I don't really believe in luck. I believe that everything that happens to us is happening just how it is supposed to be. I think that the people I touch with my Starfish Mondays are the exact people I am supposed to be affecting on that specific Monday.
Over my lunch break I went to Casey's and got a $10 gift card, stuck it in an envelope with a little note and taped it to the door of the mail room at my apartment complex. I'm sure it helped whoever found it and brightened their day!
