chances of meeting his soul mate go up when he starts going
to more birthday parties, dances, and weddings. Likewise,
when a woman is like Vicky, who doen’t like sports, her
chances of meeting her soul mate go up when she goes to
sporting events, activities, and celebrations.
Daphne’s Lucky ProjectDaphne, an interior decorator, said, “I met my husband,
Carl, at work on a remodeling project. My client wanted a hot
tub. Someone gave me his number to consult with. Well, Carl
knew just what I needed. I knew by the way he handled the
project that this was the kind of man I could rely on. He was
the man to do the job and he was also the man for me. We
immediately liked each other. It was just by luck that we met;
I would never have gone shopping for a hot tub for myself and
he lived in another county.”
If not for her client’s desire for a hot tub, Daphne would
never have found her husband. She was not even interested
in hot tubs. Carl was a real outdoorsy, rugged kind of guy. He
rarely went shopping and certainly was not into interior design.
Their paths would never have crossed.
Without Daphne’s lucky project, the only way Carl could
have found Daphne would have been to spend more time at
shopping malls. By taking a little time to check out interior
design stores, his chances of meeting Daphne would have in-
creased. He might have actually met her or someone who
would eventually lead him to her or her to him.
Daphne might have met Carl by moving out of her comfort
zone and going camping, joining a nature club, or going on
some group adventure like river rafting or a skiing trip. She
could easily have met him or someone who would eventually
have led him to her or her to him.
