Do I believe in Luck? Yes, I believe I do... why, you ask? Well, I've experienced pure luck before.

Absolutely! You assume luck is about chance, as if there were odds and probabilities? In my opinion: "Not Really".
What I believe Luck depends on is Perspective , expectations ,a positive optimistic attitude and the value you place on events or experience. I'll try to be a little more specific without rambling too much. For instance , If you have a dream of something you'd like to be in life or and really believe in it, then you will subconsciously find yourself on the path that opens doors for you, because this is where your heart is, so do you consider the opportunities that come "luck" or are you actually drawing the possibilities to you , since you believe that, you'll find the way?The luck is that you have a dream that you believe in, and don't ignore it rather then choose a different path fighting what comes natural and then being "unlucky" because things don't work out in a way where you truly grow and find fulfillment.
Luck is relative to what you think about material things or events. What is lucky to one man is not necessarily lucky for another. Luck is being at the right place at the right time,being one in a million for something special,(not so good if lightening strikes and you are the one that gets hit, unless you lived then that's luck. but then your perspective determines what is lucky. Are you lucky to have been an only child or are you lucky to have brothers and sisters?I think we are lucky when we find opportunities where we can go beyond the ordinary and react to something in a way that makes a difference in the life of another, or when we do with our lives something that we love and can make a living at it, every single person has something inside of them that if recognized and nurtured puts them on a path where "luck" will consistently find them. If you see a string of events as bad luck, consider the adversity in your life as the obstacles that causes you to build strength . character and Resistance for something that will prepare you for the future that will require that of a strong and resilient individual, therefore the string of bad luck really isn't bad luck at all , but good luck that it made it what you are.
So the odds are in your favor if you listen to your instincts , and don't lose sight or doubt your dreams. and if you play the lottery , yes the odds are against you , and if you don't play it you don't stand a chance but, there is much more to being lucky then the lotto, , for the few that hit it, it's still only a one time win, and you still have a whole life time (if you are lucky ) to embrace every day and count your blessings.The fact that you are sitting in front of a computer reading this makes you lucky, there are many who can not. So to bring good luck your way , keep your karma good, give something of yourself without expecting anything in return and good luck will come.
It always does.

Yes I do, but you usually make your own luck. Some people come out smelling like a rose most of the time, and then there are those like me who never can seem to do anything right. Luck or Good Fortune follow some people - I can't explain why. If I had the answer, I would have all the luck.

For the record, Luc was an ancient god of good fortune. Some seem to have plenty of good fortune while others do not. However things are not always as they seem. What is the definition of luck? Am I lucky to win $1 million? Then how about winning an LCD TV? Would I be lucky to know that my newly discovered cancer is benign? Lucky that my children are all healthy? Lucky to have a pillow to sleep on? Does being alive make me one of the lucky ones? If so we're all lucky till we die and then is that really luck?

No I believe in blessings...I don't think luck exists. From my experiences if I lived on luck alone I wouldn't exist. Its just something made up to explain the the unexplainable. I believe God is the answer to the unexplainable.

no I believe there are a lot of fools that place thier money in luck's hands. Chance and random, we define for ourselves as having significance if it falls on us...its a self-centered view that is just not true. Ask anyone in the addiction of gambling.

NO - I do not believe in luck. I believe God blesses and "a curse, without a cause, does not come."

Luck is what you make of it. Many people don't realize it, but they are in one way or another luckier than everyone else. I think we all have a meaning on this earth, and a purpose to each person. Maybe a person who is better at something is not better, but luckier. Me? I'm a lucky driver. I can get myself lost in the strangest of backroads in Connecticut, but find my way out through luck, not knowledge.

Yes I believe in luck, but I believe that people make their own luck...
People make their advantages or disadvantages with their daily perspectives and lifestyles.
I.E. Positive or Negative outlooks, Living clean or alcohol/drug use...
Open or closed minds to opportunities or race issues...etc.
