Every possible piece of advice on the Internet consists of three steps. You can change your life in three steps, become an affiliate marketer, get rich, file for a divorce, get a flat belly, and even earn money as a writer. Just to mention a few.

But in indigenous North American folklore, the magic number is four but I can only cope with three so don’t ask me about that, please!

Why the magic number three?

In Latin, the expression is- omne trium perfectum. Translated, this means that anything and everything that comes in a package of three is perfect! Perfection and completion. Lots of examples in the Bible. The Trinity is a holy threesome and they seem to be getting on well, as far as we know.

We learned at school that St. Patrick picked up the three-leafed shamrock to explain the Trinity- three in one and one in three. A simple visual aid. Perfect!

Life itself is in three steps:-

Step 1:- Be born.

Step 2:- Live a life of misery or happiness or a crazy mixture of both.

Step 3:- Die.
