Fortunate


Fortunate

Fortunate; Coming by good luck or favorable chance; bringing some good thing not foreseen as certain; presaging happiness; auspicious; as, a fortunate event; a fortunate concurrence of circumstances; a fortunate investment.

Isn’t it funny that the word Fortunate has a definition totally separate of the definition that we know? What does it mean to be fortunate?

There are many people in the world whom owe their lives to being fortunate. They are fortunate to have been brought up in the situation they were brought up in and blessed with the family and friends that they have. They are fortunate to have been able to get a higher education when they wanted it and fortunate to be able to lead the lives that they do. That is what fortunate should mean.

Husband’s and Wives are fortunate to have been able to find someone that they can not live without. Someone whom they can build their lives with and tell there inner most secrets. Someone in whom they can build morals and values with and put those into a family they build. To have another person in your life whom you can dream with and work with to make that particular dream come true.

American’s are fortunate to have been able to vote into office a powerful man whom has gained the respect of the majority of not just the United States but of the world. We were fortunate enough to look past the issues of some of American’s and not let that taint our mind enough to know what the right thing to do was grant America the wish for hope and change.

I am fortunate to be able to read, write, talk, laugh, cry, and love. Emotions that are often time absent from the people of some countries. Those people are not fortunate in the way we think being fortunate is however they probably feel that they are fortunate because they have the most powerful thing on earth. That is that they are Fortunate to have love and family. Two things that most of us take for granted.

So what is most important in your life that you are fortunate to have does it compare? Is it tangible? Can you live without it?

Are you fortunate?
