Things are Great! What Could Go Wrong?

Why do we get anxious when things are going our way? On TV shows and movies we brace ourselves for imminent plot twists when characters are too happy or comfy.  Does that go for real life too? Things are actually going really great for me these days, at work, at home, and with my friends and colleagues. Does that mean a piano is going to fall from the sky? Perhaps instead I can find the courage to embrace the goodness, count my blessings, and genuinely praise and thank God for what He is providing. Things are not perfect, I certainly still have unmet goals, but things are headed in the right directions.  I want to encourage you too: embrace optimism, see the good, count blessings and don’t let the fear of success hold you back.  Of course, knocking on wood probably doesn’t hurt either.
