Why I Am Not Superstitious

Growing up, I heard all kinds of superstitions—whistling at night calls spirits, walking under a ladder brings bad luck, and breaking a mirror seals your fate for seven years. These ideas were fascinating, even amusing, but they never truly held weight in my mind. I am not superstitious, and here’s why.

Logic Over Luck

Superstitions thrive on coincidence. If you spill salt and something bad happens later, the mind connects the two. But correlation is not causation. I prefer to analyze situations with logic. If something goes wrong, it’s likely due to choices, circumstances, or simple randomness—not an unseen force punishing me for stepping on a crack.

Personal Responsibility Over Fate

Superstitions often suggest that outside forces control our destiny. But I believe in personal responsibility. My actions determine my outcomes, not a black cat crossing my path. If I want success, I don’t rely on lucky charms; I focus on consistency, effort, and adaptability.

Experience Over Fear

I’ve broken mirrors, walked under ladders, and even opened umbrellas indoors. Life went on. If something bad followed, it was just life being life. Experience has proven to me that superstitions don’t hold power unless you give them power.

What Really Matters

Beliefs shape how we navigate the world, but I prefer beliefs rooted in reality. Hard work beats lucky socks. Mindset matters more than avoiding Friday the 13th. If something is worth fearing, it’s not an old wives’ tale—it’s real–life consequences.

So, no, I’m not superstitious. I step on cracks, play my 2k  without rituals, and enjoy life without worrying about unseen forces working against me. And guess what? I still thrive.

Until next time…
