Getting used to it. Sounds a little cynical doesn't it and I must admit this label had it's roots in a bit of cynicism "get used to it", but has evolved into a more positive bit of personal philosophy.
What I have found is that people often seem to have just as much trouble adapting to good fortune, as bad. Adapting to or getting used to positive and unexpected changes, often categorized as "good luck", is often met with as much resistance or passivity as unexpected misfortune (the other kind of luck). Initially neither are expected to last. I've concluded that a key step in moving forward positively in response to either kind of surprise first requires "getting used to it", hence the name I have chosen for this blog.
