Luck is relative.

Really cause I dont seem to be related to any

In a way, I get kind of tired of this line of thinking.

Things don't go well for people simply because they are an American. Americans have had to work hard to achieve the things we have achieved. Every great thing we have achieved, we have shared with the rest of the world. At least those who are willing to accept that which we offer the rest of the world.

We are a lucky people because we created our own luck.

Don't you think this could be interpreted as you, individually, are lucky to have been born in a country (assuming you were) where you were given the opportunities Painter talks about and not in a place like Ethiopia or somewhere where you are fighting just to keep from starving to death?

I WANT TO KNOW!

To be honest I thank God almost everyday for all He has blessed me with.

I have a wonderful, loving, healthy family.
I have an amazing girlfriend that is just as much in love with me as I am with her
I have an awesome job
I have a comfortable home to go to every night
I am a good looking, healthy, responsible, loyal person (modestly said)
And I am a fan of the best damn NFL team out there!

What more could I ask for? Sure there are many more material things I'd like to have in my life, but I'm fully satisfied with what I have.

I make sure that as often as I ask the Lord for things, I thank Him for all He has given me.

Beyond lucky!

Astronomically lucky!!

I think if I got any luckier, I be accused of stealing it!

I could go on & on, but, you get the idea.

True happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.
This famous quote on happiness by Helen Keller

You will never be happier than you expect. To change your happiness, change your expectation.
This famous happiness quote by Bette Davis

Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords.

I certainly know how lucky I am Painter (for health, my country, my son, my family, 9-2 - lol, etc.) but how often I remind myself of that is another matter. Thanks for reminding us all to remind ourselves.
