How Fortunate

This will probably seem silly, but I keep the little slips from fortune cookies if the phrase is truly fitting for the moment in my life. I tuck it away either in my wallet or paste it in a small notebook that I keep in my purse, as a memento and reminder to heed its advice.

Fortunes I’ve saved…

“A stranger is a friend you have not spoken to yet.”

“Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.”

“All things are difficult before they are easy.”

“Don’t confuse recklessness with confidence.”

“Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.”

“I would rather attempt something great and fail than attempt to do nothing and succeed.”

What about you? Do you keep or toss those fortunes?
