After my move, I am still organizing my new home. There are still many things to buy and prepare. Although I want to explore outside the house, I will have to wait for some time.
Today, I will talk about my good fortune in this apartment, which I never expected.
How to get a good fortune
Sometimes, we want to try a new environment. Experiencing new things often gives us another perspective. That gives us new opportunities that look like good fortune.
However, we sometimes cannot do it due to fear. We can easily know what to lose but often don’t know what we can gain, as follows:
- Risks and what to lose: We can see them easily because we already have them.
- Potential profits and what to gain: It is hard to anticipate because we don’t know about the new environment.
This makes us hesitate to try a new environment and causes our stagnation.
Today, I will talk about my example of getting unexpected good fortune. It would be a reward that only those who dive into a new environment can get. This experience might give you the courage to take new action.
My good fortune in getting a comfortable room
After I moved into this apartment, I got an unexpected good fortune. It was a comfortable room temperature. Even in winter, I can stay in a warm room without heating.
The downstairs resident brought me this benefit. By chance, I learned that the downstairs resident was an old lady who lived alone.
She usually stays home and seems to keep her room’s heating on all day. The warm air goes up and heats my room, too. That is why my room was so comfortable even without heating.
Thanks to this old lady, my room keeps around 13 to 16 degrees Celsius, even if the outside temperature is 2 or 3 degrees. Thank you, old lady!
Living with the old lady
I could not expect good fortune like this.
At first, I thought the downstairs resident was a troublesome man because this apartment is for younger single generations. I was surprised to know an old lady like her lives here.
I like old ladies. That made me tolerate her TV noise from downstairs. Every time I hear the sound in the afternoon, I can imagine the old lady relaxing. Far from stressing me out, it provided me with peace of mind. Although I don’t intend to interact with her, this was not a bad feeling.
If it were a young man or something instead of her, it would have stressed me out.
I felt this was a great fortune. I noticed I could be calm in both the silence and the sound of others. From the evening to the next morning, I can stay in a quiet place. In the afternoon, I can hear the sound and be calm. I often go out in the afternoon, so I don’t feel stressed at all.
Although this may not be a big happiness, I will find such an unexpected good fortune as I go through a lot of new experiences.
Conclusion
That was my example of getting unexpected good fortune.
There are good fortunes we can only get after we start living in a new environment.
This experience might give you the courage to go into the unknown environment.
Thank you for reading this article. I hope to see you in the next one.
