Superstition (noun)

A belief or way of behaving that is based on fear of the unknown and faith in magic or luck: a belief that

certain events or things will bring good or bad luck.

Wow, that's a pretty strong word to let control one's day. I'm so thankful I'm not superstitious, because that

would mean that I live my life based on fear and that definitely is not me. I currently have a broken mirror in

my basement and yes, I use it almost every day. I was taught certain superstitious behaviors when I was

young, probably all of your most common ones, but over the years, I have come to realize that picking up a

face down penny will not be the reason for some horrible event, but we can allow fear to dictate the things

we will or will not do, and only then does it have any kind of hold o us. I liked this subject today because it

gave me the opportunity to obtain an even deeper understanding of just how powerful fear can be in a

person's life if we allow it to be.
