What is luck?

Luck is one of those things which you either believe in or not. If you have clicked onto this blog, you probably believe in luck. But what exactly is luck? Luck is defined to be a chance happening outside of a person’s control. There is good luck and there is bad luck. No-one wants bad luck. Everyone wants good luck, but how do we change luck, and can we change luck? It is hard to say whether we can actually change luck, some people says it happens, some people say you cannot change luck. Since we don’t actually don’t know whether luck exists, and whether it can be changed, it cannot be harmful to try and change luck.

Practical aspects of luck.

Although luck is a fickle thing to define, there are many applications of luck we can see everyday – people win lotto, minor injuries from a horror accident, etc. Though people still debate on the exact nature of luck, there are many practical as well as spiritual ways to improve one’s luck. To take a practical example, take a day when you have felt especially lucky. Everything just seems to fall your way, and you feel as though you are floating.

Now take a day you have felt especially unlucky. The world seems to weigh you down. You feel burdened. Consider both feeling, and you instantly want the former – It’s a nice feeling. Luck is strange however. It ebbs and flows, so when you have good luck, savour that feeling – it may not last, but then again, it might!

Luck and you.

Luck affects every part of your life – love, lottery, and daily life. Luck ebbs and flows. It is impossible to have good luck all the time. Accept it when it’s there and enjoy it while you can. You may or may not be able to increase your luck. If all things conform to the normal distribution (which I believe they are, but don’t quote me on this) then on average, you will have average amount of luck.
