"Luck" is an interesting thing.
Some people seem to be naturally lucky, while others seem pursued by a long string of misfortune. Why does that happen? Is it real, or just our imaginations?
At the same time, it's a popular idea that we "Create Our Own Reality." That's not a New-Agey woo-woo statement... it's more of a simple FACT. I think it was Henry Ford who allegedly said something along the lines of "Whether you believe you'll succeed, or fail, you're probably right."
What does that suggest, if not that we create our own reality.
So if that is true, is "luck" actually something we CREATE, rather than something that just "happens to" us?
From where I am sitting, I think a lot of people do create something we might describe as "luck," but what they are REALLY doing is simply using their skills and experience to put themselves in the right place at the right time, and thus are more likely to expose themselves to something they desire... when it comes their way.
Is that LUCK? Or simply preparedness and a state of mindful wakefulness? I believe it's the latter.
Mrs. Denmarkguy is really good at "creating luck," because she has a keen understanding of potential outcomes... and what is required as "background" to make them happen. To many outside observers, she seems like a very lucky person, but from inside the situation... it becomes fairly clear that she carefully created the right conditions for "luck" to happen.
What do YOU think? Is there such a thing as "luck" or do we make our own? Leave a comment and join the discussion!
