You make your own good fortune. We can all remember times when it felt like everything was going our way. We were getting the breaks we wanted and opportunities came easy. It was the opposite of Murphy's Law. What could go right did?

Perhaps we remember a time when we were younger when it felt more like people were willing to help and teach us, but as time passes, this passes with us. Lucky breaks seem less common. We become like the man that markets a really as mimics by saying, I was once a fortunate man, but at some point fortune abandoned me. This is absolutely the wrong way to look at it. Because as Marcus continues, true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune is good character, good intentions, and good actions. Let us face today with that

attitude in mind. Good fortune is not getting lucky. It's not the ball bouncing your way. It's not other people doing stuff for you because all of those things are out of your control. They're not up to you. True good fortune is you doing stuff for other people. It's you being a good person, regardless of whether you get cut a break for it. It's you starting each day with a commitment to be your best, whatever happens. That is up to you, always. Epic Titus' line was how much longer are you going to wait until you demand the best for yourself?

You never know if you're just going to end up on Page Six or Du Moir or in court. I'm Matt Bellesai.

And I'm Sydney Battle, and we're the host of Wonder E's new podcast, Dis and Tell, where each episode we unpack a different iconic celebrity feud, from the build up, why it happened, and the repercussions. What does our obsession with these feuds say about us? The first season is packed with some pretty messy pop culture drama, but none is drawn out in personal as Britney and Jamie Lynn Spears. When Britney's fans formed the free Britney movement dedicated to fring her from the infamous conservatorship,

Jamie Lynn's lack of public support, it angered some fans, a lot of them. It's a story of two young women who had their choices taken away from them by their controlling parents, but took their anger out on each other. And it's about a movement to save a superstar, which set its sights upon anyone who failed to fight for Brittany. Follow Dissentel wherever you get your podcast.
