The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I need a copy of the Blue Jackets Manual. If you have one let me know please.

Marcus Aurelius had a simple description of what luck looked like.

It wasn’t that he was chosen out of 50 million Romans to be emperor. It wasn’t that he was born strong and tall. It wasn’t that he was born a free man instead of a slave. It wasn’t any of the other things he could have counted as blessings.

Instead, it was this:

That whenever I felt like helping someone who was short of money, or otherwise in need, I never had to be told that I had no resources to do it with. And that I was never put in that position myself—of having to take something from someone else.

What a wonderful and kind way to look at life. We’ve talked before about how the definition of success is autonomy. Maybe the definition of good luck is surplus. Having enough to share, having enough that you don’t need to take anything from anyone else. It’s self-sufficiency with a little bit extra to help others who weren’t so fortunate.

What are you working so hard for? To buy a bigger house? To fill your closet with another pair of expensive sneakers? Or is it so you can be lucky enough to be in a position to help a friend? To take care of those in need?

Luck is a tricky thing. It’s not fully in our control, but as they say, you can prepare to take advantage of it if you get it. You can make yourself luckier with the decisions you make. Let’s just make sure that we have the right lucky target we’re aiming for—which is to be in a better position to help others, not just to get more ourselves.....Daily Stoic

If you say you want to do something, well then get at it and go do it

When you make the decision to become a person of character, you will also find that you are much more willing to do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do.
