Make 2014 year of fortune

Friday, January 10, 2014

With the festive holidays behind us, one can clearly look forward to an eventful and interesting year. Did you know that the 2014 calendar is identical to that of 1997? Another remarkable thing is that there will be five Fridays this year to match a specific day and month. Note the pattern about to unfold in the year: 4/4/2014, 6/6/2014, 8/8/2014, 10/10/2014, and 12/12/2014.

All this makes for interesting facts. For instance if you believe in luck or the seven-year life cycle then it is likely that 2014 marks the end of bad fortune. This year begins the season of good luck, only if you attack it with a positive mind. Even if a black cat crossed your path, do not despair because studies suggest that ‘luck’ is a skill set. So with a bit of work you can make 2014 your most fortunate year.
