It's one thing to feel like you're on a roll. Whenever I've won a prize or some other piece of good fortune comes my way, my friends are sure to congratulate me, and then accuse me of "having a horseshoe stuck up your ass". Which is a phrase that I'm sure looks nice on a greeting card.
But to openly run around proclaiming your luck boldly, to proudly announce just where that horseshoe is stuck; well my friends, that is what we call "asking for it". You might as well draw that target on your head, just so that other shoe knows where to drop.
I believe in a higher power in the world. It's known by many names: Karma, God, the Universe, Buddha, Mohammad, Fate. Too many events in my life have the precise timing necessary for the maximum comedic effect. It can't possibly be coincidence that many times.
Hubris and gloating about your luck is a quick way to having an anvil drop on your head (metaphorical or literal).
