When we smile, the world smiles with us, and when we frown the world concurs. This weeks Question of the week is of course another deep one, and is a great opportunity to know thy self better, and perhaps empower yourself to make YOUR world a better place.

Have you noticed how some people seem to have all the luck? Some people seem to constantly be successful and happy, whilst others consistently fail no matter how hard or how many times they try? Have you ever bought a new car only to start seeing the same car on the road much more than you used to? If you or your partner have been pregnant, did you suddenly see so many more pregnant women around?

Are we more responsible for our lives than we realise? Have you noticed that when you are in a good mood, and feeling positive, you attract others to you like a kind of gravity? When you are feeling positive, good things seem to happen more often, and when you are feeling negative, bad things or nothing seems to happen? The question is, which way round does this work!? Can we make our own luck? Can some people really roll the dice better than others? What role do our feelings and emotions play in creating our lives and our perception of how things are? Can the way we feel about things change our situation for better or worse, or are we just destined to play out our lives in a certain way?

As you can see, there are many ways to look at this question and these are just my own personal prompters. So this week I welcome you all to join us in answering this question with whatever comes up for you. We always love to hear personal stories, and lessons you may have learned. We also welcome you to explore and discover your own truth and knowing through writing this post. This may not be something you have thought about before, and now is a great opportunity!
