Many great Players in past times have said that "there is no such thing as luck". They have also said that "Luck is what happens when preparedness meets opportunity"...

But when a "young player" constantly experiences set-backs, emergencies, failures, and the constant accumulation of debt, pain, and suffering, it is mighty hard to write it off as anything else but Bad Luck.

What is the purpose of all of this madness, and why is it happening? No matter what you do, something "comes up" or something "goes wrong".

"If it ain't one thing, it's another" - all the time.

And when there is constant drama, trials, and tribulations in our lives, we cannot deny that something is amiss in our own private "cosmic universes". Although, the situation may be almost impossible to change for now, we know that it can't last forever. Someday, we will be done "paying for our sins", and everything will be all right.

Everybody gets a chance at Happiness in Life if they are able in mind, body, and spirit, to take advantage of the opportunities.

Therefore, step-up your Game and fight Bad Luck! Don't let it defeat you! Whine, cry, complain, but don't stop kickin' and scrappin' and Making Moves!

"That's what life's about - problems," so says one of our most Outstanding Divas. But as a Player in this Game we call "Life", it is your duty to solve and resolve (or deal with) your problems as best you can and to keep on pushing for that Golden Pie In The Sky...

Whine, cry, and complain, but don't sit around on your ass! Make Moves, and get it on and poppin'!

Just remember to always believe in yourself and to use Good Game, and you shall overcome Bad Luck! And you shall come out on Top!

Through all of this bad luck and bad karma, pay attention and be aware of the traps and pitfalls of your decisions...

* Know what you WANT to happen

* Know what you DON'T WANT to happen

* Know what COULD happen

* and BE READY to deal with what DOES happen

You must pace yourself, use caution, and be extra-strong in your Game.

Don't take unnecessary chances and foolish risks unless you understand and believe in your heart and mind that you can deal with the consequences.

Don't accept Failure as your lot in life. Be Assertive! Make Moves and get your Benefits! Use the experience, and be on your guard with your Game and Resources close in hand...

Being prepared can always help you when your luck is good, but it can also help you survive and/or maintain peace of mind when your luck is bad.

There is never any telling when an emergency might pop-up, but if you prepare yourself emotionally, mentally, financially, socially, or physically, you will be able to deal with "negative situations" better.

What is Good Luck besides being at the right (or wrong) place at the right time? Or, what is Bad Luck besides being in the right (or wrong) place at the the wrong time?

It's all Timing.

And when your "timing" is off, plan wisely and carefully. Be Patient. be cool, calm, and collected. Be a little more cautious and conservative. But, DON'T STOP MAKING MOVES! Ride that Bad Luck until it runs out of steam and until you have it laid down!

You can't wait on HOPE or sit around wishing and praying! Faith without Actions ain't worth two cents!

We never know "when" might be the right time or place, but we can always be prepared for what we want to happen if an Opportunity should ever arise. And we should always strive to be prepared if things go wrong.

Often, "Bad Luck" that involves Pain and Tragedy is almost impossible to deal with, but you must find the inner-strength to push on.

If things happen beyond your control, so be it. But, Confront your obstacles and Handle Your Business. Do the best that you can do and let God (or Fate) take care of the rest. That's all you can do.

But those who "lay down", quit, or stop movin', they're ain't doing nuthin'. And Bad Luck will ride their ass down into the ground...

Don't let this happen to you!

Keep making moves!

Prepare yourself to deal with Good Luck when you come across it. And Stay Prepared and Ready to deal with Bad Luck when it rears it's ugly head.

Remember: It's all about Courage, Perseverance, and Timing...

Don't quit too soon or give up too early! And although "hard times" can damn near drive you insane, keep the Faith, stay ready, and when you finally have the upperhand, go toe-to-toe with Bad Luck, and kick it dead in the ass!
