whatever future holds for me. And try to get the best out of it and learn whatever lessons are in it. Because i genuinely believe that it was not ALL in my hand.
poisons our lives. Many people call it “Luck” or “Coincidence”, and many other call it “God’s will” or “Destiny”.
But whichever it is, this way of thinking helped me tremendously to be more relaxed with whatever comes in my way in the future and embrace
in the future i want to do XYZ…”.
And i will be like “Yeah… like you planned it all to be where you are right now…”.
I understand that we must always do our best in every situation to get a good outcome,but our reactions to the outcome is what really gets to our lives or
One of the things i’m starting to truly realize is how little is our role in our lives. it is waaay less than we think, i believe.
many people are saying (including believers) “i will do this,,, i will do that,, i will become this,,
I really don't believe that pure happiness is attainable, and yet i think it's one of our biggest goals. I think that's hope, and that's what drives us. And that’s why we need it.

During World War II, the United States government struck a secret deal with imprisoned American Mafia boss Charles "Lucky" Luciano to gain the Italian mob's help in mapping out Italy for the best ways to invade during the war. In 1943, the Office of Naval Intelligence was concerned about the presence of German and Italian agents in the New York waterfront and the potential for sabotage in these facilities. The government knew that the Mafia controlled the waterfront, so they contacted Luciano, who was serving a 30 to 50-year prison sentence for compulsory prostitution.
In exchange for a commutation of his sentence, Luciano promised to use his influence to ensure that there would be no dockworker strikes during the war and to provide intelligence on enemy agents in the New York waterfront. He also allegedly provided the US military with Sicilian Mafia contacts to aid in the invasion of Sicily in 1943, known as Operation Husky. This collaboration between the Navy and the Mafia became known as Operation Underworld.
The value of Luciano's contribution to the war effort is highly debated, and it is difficult to determine the extent of his influence in the success of Operation Husky. However, the collaboration between the US government and organized crime during World War II remains a notable example of the lengths to which the government was willing to go to achieve victory.
