Get Lucky
I have typically held to the concept that there is no such thing as luck. I have rationalized this by clinging to the sovereignty of God. What He allows happen ends up happening. Insert here the diatribe that “God loves everyone yet favors some” and we have a complicated discussion with no resolution.
But maybe there is such a thing as luck. Not dumb luck that hits people in the face like a bug while you ride your bike on a lonely, dirt road but luck that is brought as a result of attitude adjustments and modified expectations. I read an article and found these insights interesting:
“Lucky people see what is there rather than just what they are looking for.”
“Lucky [people]… add variety to their lives.”
“Lucky people use counter-factual thinking to ease the impact of misfortune.”
“Thoughts and behavior affect the good and bad fortune we encounter.”
