Wish Me Luck

Three of the best words you can tell someone are “wish me luck.”

When someone says that, they are usually doing something courageous, taking a chance on something, or pursuing a dream. They are about to embark on something so grand that it gets their nerves going.

Many times, it’s good to feel nervous. I enjoy that sensation; it’s akin to the feeling you get when you gamble. I always experienced a sense of nervousness before every football game I played and every track race I ran. It was never a nervousness stemming from being unprepared or scared; instead, it was a nervousness born from feeling prepared, confident, and excited. The success that follows such nervousness feels like winning at gambling.

So, here’s to more “wish me lucks” for sure.
