"GOOD LUCK!" Are You Curious About This Cultural Belief? Read On...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 98/100. peaceful (1826) 5 years ago

Do you consider yourself a lucky person? I mean, have you had a lot of fortunate moments, like finding money, being in "the right place" at "the right time", and or the uncanny ability to win at betting, time after time, you know, stuff like that...

We either are like that, or know someone like that or we are always trying to BECOME like that! LOL! :)

I've always been curious, about this phenomenon called "Luck", and that's not just me... this belief seems to be a part of the daily lives of Human beings all over the world... from societies that have lived on islands and remote areas since they came onto Existance, to modern city dwelling societies, with all their trappings... (Quick question: Which society would you think to be the luckiest these days?)

A Gift before we proceed: (I believe in sharing, it's Lucky! LOL!)
http://www.mindpowernews.com/CreateGoodLuck.htm

Now then, I always feel that there's got to be something of substance to a thing, especially when millions of people need it, want it, look for it, wish it for others, try to buy it, try to sell it, pray for it, or cast spells for it... even make love for it! (Hmmm... that NEVER gets old! :) )

Some people even consider other type of Humans, other than their own type, to be lucky, resulting in some really strange relationship behaviors... I know people who will only date certain people from certain cultures, simply because they consider them to be lucky!

Then there are, of course, those people who consider themselve to be, profoundly, the "Unluckiest So and So" on Planet Earth, and they have many scars to prove it... I also know that most people will try to avoid these types at all costs, and that some people are ATTRACTED to them, all the same! Considering the known fact that most of us crave "Good Luck", it's an oddity that has a basis in real Life, some of us have found...

Now, I'm not gonna bore you anymore than neccessary, so I'm going to present this link of Good Luck stories and answers to FAQ's:
http://www.marcsky.com/goodluck.html

... and go make my October Born- Libra/Dragon, Tree Worshiping, Axe Throwing (competition), Nature Loving, Pagan Man Self... a great cup of Jamaica's finest coffee (Blue Mountain), and wait with bubbling anticipation, for your comments, stories and jokes about this culture-wide belief...

Have an excellent day and, of course, Good Luck! :)

I am not sure if I believe in luck, good or bad. I think sometimes it is just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. It could have been anyone but it happened to be you because this event was going to happen anyhow. That is my personal belief. But, I do know people that have bad things happen to them constantly and for no apparent reason the same as some that have good happenings.
I have no explanation on this or know why it has to be this way. It is a shame that a lot of good people seem to have a string of bad luck for no apparent reason. Good topic :)
and Good Luck to you, too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. peaceful (1826)  5 years ago

Yes, it's a puzzle and a difficult one at that! :)

One would think that "Lucky" people would tend to be "Well behaved" but that's not always the case... look at some of the most highly paid biggity-bigs, and you'll se that they are NOT well behaved, as I see it... they do so many bad things to so many people, all in the name of the "bottom line" that should earn them a Lightning Bolt or two, but they go on merrily along, getting richer by the minute...

Hmmmmmmmm, I'm not questioning Luck, but it makes me go, Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm! :)

Hi Peaceful.

I believe we make our own luck to some extent. The choices we make, the things we do, and self belief. These things all make us more likely to be lucky. I believe in Zen, although I am not a practicing Buddist. I believe that what goes around comes around, do good and you get good back etc... I don't know where this cultural belief comes from, but it is just what I believe.

For me, so far in my life it is working. I always try to help people, and even if those same people don't appreciate it, I always find there are people willing to help me as I go along. Eventually I find that I get lucky at certain times. I don't know if I have gone off topic here, but I am just sharing my thoughts. I have not been extremely lucky, as in winning the lottery, but I am content with what I have and I know things are going to get better, because I believe I will work hard and make it happen. That is how I feel right now.

oh yeah. I read that website after I posted it. I can relate to it a lot, so I bookmarked it in case I ever need reminding.
Thanks peaceful

I've never considered myself a lucky person, mainly because I've never won the lottery or a big prize and so forth. One often hears others relating to this. But after reading the subjects in the links you provided I've looked at things differently.
I've survived several car crashes that could have been fatal, I've had many near misses, where my decision to hit the brake or step on the gas has been correct and probably saved my life and that of the other driver as well.
I've made some terrible decisions in my life but I've been lucky enough to realise when "enough is enough" and walk away.
And I'm pretty lucky at finding things...oh, nothing valuable like a lost masterpiece or anything of that nature, my best find most recently was a penny which surfaced in my front yard. It was minted the year I was born. How lucky is that?! :)


myLot reputation of 98/100. peaceful (1826)  5 years ago

People that share our characteristics seem be be naturally lucky and are born "Treasure Finders"... I also have many instances of avoiding accidents and such, and I don't think that anything in my Life is a coincidence...

I have learned to pay attention to my every move, thought and deed, and also to my actions in any environment...

Coincidently, where you are living right now, in Pilliga, is very close to the type of environment that I would like to live in, it being so far out in the Bush... I would go looking for opal and other natural treasures! :)

Did you know that Opal is our Birthstone? I found one in a jar of Lowery's Seasoned Pepper back in the 80's when they were running a promotion...

How LUCKY is that? :)


myLot reputation of 93/100. MsTickle (12876)  5 years ago

Wow! Lucky you. I've heard opals are unlucky. I had a beautiful opal ring that was stolen. When I first had my ears peirced I purchased a pair of beautiful Opal Earrings, they were quite expensive but I decided to treat myself. I was going out one night and my taxi was waiting. In a rush, I grabbed my earrings to wear and rushed downstairs and out to the cab. Inside the cab, I hunted for my earrings but could not find them and thought I must have forgotten them after all. They did not turn up. A few days later I decided to look out near where I got into the cab and there they were at the end of the driveway, in the sandy deposit in the gutter. Both posts were quite mangled. That was many years ago and i've since lost both of them. :(

We all create our own luck. Some of us have luck and others do not. That is how life is.
