You remember the Harry Potter movie where Ron drinks the elixir?

A few weeks ago, I won $12 in the lottery. And I was like

Holy Gosh I am RICH!!!

I’d never won that much money in the lotto before. I celebrated by — paying for my next Zumba class with my mentor, with it. What a great way to celebrate!

When I was 10, I won a little portable TV at the local school fair. I was like

Holy Gosh this is AMAZING!!! A TV!!!

I watched Love Connection repeats surreptitiously in my bedroom, when my parents had told me to go to sleep. It was awesome.

I see luck as a mindset.

As Ron found out with his elixir. As Harry Potter already knew.

The harder I work, the luckier I get.

The more I believe in myself and MY dreams and goals, the harder I work.
