"Why do I keep messing this up?"

"Why am I so lucky?"

What is the difference between these two questions? Obviously one is positive and one is negative, but dig a little deeper. One presupposes failure and the other presupposes success.

The second question makes you think of the positive things in your life-the good things that have come unexpectedly, or even expectedly.

Even if you feel you are not a lucky person, you will be tempted to answer this question, if not for at least a second or two.

Indulge yourself. Answer it.
