Good Luck Bag Quotes

“Maybe we all come into this world with a Good Luck Bag in our hands. The bag contains everything you’re destined to experience after you’re born into this life. Hopes and despairs. Happinesses and torments. Joyful laughter and choked-back tears. Feelings of love and feelings of hate. They’re all there. Just because it says “Good Luck” on the outside doesn’t mean the bag contains nothing but good fortune. Sometimes what you find inside isn’t anything like what you hoped for. It looks cheap, and disappoints. You wish you’d chosen a different bag. But you can’t discard what you find in it. You reluctantly put it on, make do with it one way or another, and about the time you grow into it, you’ve forgotten how you even came by it. What looked cheap, what disappointed, is now simply there. It’s there as something given only to you.”
