To make Friday the 13th to a lucky day depends on one single thing
It’s Friday the 13th, and for many, the most superstitious day they can think of. Why is this day considered to be the unluckiest day? There are many theories behind, but here are some facts about this day of ill-repute.
Some believe that Friday the 13th has a biblical origin. Jesus was crucified on a Friday, and the Last Supper the evening before the crucifixion was attended by 13 people, where Judas was number 13.
Another interesting observation is that Paraskevidekatriaphobia (try to repeat that word three times), probably is the most common superstition in the U.S. Paraskevidekatriaphobia is Greek, where Paraskevi stands for Friday and Dekatreis means 13.
A report in the prestigious magazine British Medical Journal, reveals some incredible figures. According to the report, on a Friday 13th, “The risk of hospital admission as a result of a transport accident may increase by as much as 52%.”
Digging into more Friday the 13th disasters, take a look at the following:

Your Luck On Friday The 13th Depends On One Single Thing
It’s a fun exercise to read about all mystery created around a particular weekday and date. As humans, sometimes we need to escape from the automated and emotionless daily lifestyle.
That’s the reason we surround ourselves with emotions like:
- Fear
- Sadness
- Joy
- Anger
- Trust
- Anticipation
- Faith
These emotional feelings are based on your personality. Some people easily get influenced by their surroundings, while others handle the emotions in another way.
Whatever category you belong to, it’s vital that you manage your emotions and not the other way around. When you control your emotions, they can even be to your advantage.
When starting my online business 6 years ago, all the emotions listed above went through my mind before “taking the step.” Of course, there was a portion of Fear and Anticipation, but fortunately, Joy and Trust got me into this lifechanging challenge.
If you can relate to my story, maybe you are there right now, or you are thinking about it, let this Friday the 13th be a figurative day for you. Let this day be the day when you decide without the interference of emotions and ney-sayers around you.
In spite of all stories and fairy-tales around Friday the 13th, if today is going to be a lucky day only depends on one single thing:
You!!!
