That is why the GOLD in, life is to daily meditate. Then your mind won't be so consumed with all the chit-chat, worries on events that may or may not happen.
The silent mind, will allow for true creativity to flow in, with the constant dwelling on stuff, you may block new ideas to take hold.
So yes we can give our time over on dwelling mind stuff or we can really be present to take up new opportunities that do present to us, that so called good luck, can mean been open and present to all possibilities as soon as they arise.
Your mind can be your friend or foe.....you have that choice in each new moment then the next. ..
To be
To be present. ....
