Sometimes happiness really just comes down to feeling lucky. Yesterday was Fat Tuesday, the beginning of Mardi Gras. As part of this celebration, people sometimes eat a King cake. I'm not sure why the tradition still happens in our New York office. But every year we get a delivery of five King Cakes. These are a ring cake with an incredibly sugary icing. This year we got one cake in mid Janaury and then another delivery of five yesterday.
Embedded in the bottom of this cake is a little plastic baby doll.
Whoever gets the baby is supposed to have good luck in their business over the next year. It also means they have to buy the next cake. So, as luck would have it, I got the baby in my piece of cake in January. Then yesterday it happened again. Two babies in one year! That seems like a lot of luck. I was thrilled.
I am working to start my new business and this really felt like the extra boost I needed. Have you ever been there when something really "lucky" happened to you but you just felt like it was normal? Almost like you knew it would happen? I guess that's the power of attraction. Don't get me wrong, I was glad that it happened. But with my new energy and focus going towards happiness...it almost seemed second nature.
