Luck

I'm curious to know. How do you attract more luck into your life?

The more risk you have in your life, the more you'll experience what you'll call luck. Though it has to be carefully laid out risk... to create the likely emergence of good luck, otherwise you'll just experience bad luck. Whenever I've been good lucky I tend to naturally think its karma returning the favour, but when I've been bad lucky, I tend to blame myself so I can learn from it and then let it go and move on. So to answer perhaps the intent of your question, I generally think of it as karma without really feeling the need to believe if karma exists.

Luck or chance is fortune (whether bad or good) which occurs beyond one's control, without regard to one's will, intention, or desired result. There are at least two senses people usually mean when they use the term, the prescriptive sense and the descriptive sense. In the prescriptive sense, luck is a supernatural and deterministic concept that there are forces which prescribe that certain events occur very much the way laws of physics will prescribe that certain events occur. It is the prescriptive sense that people mean when they say they "do not believe in luck". In the descriptive sense, luck is a word people give after the occurrence of events which they find to be fortuitous or unfortuitous, and perhaps improbable.

That being said... here are a few sites which will point you in one direction, or another.

There are also many that believe one can improve their “luck” situation “magically”.

I think that luck is a perspective or point of view linked to positive thought and action.

If you go around trying to get the most out of life and take opportunities that come to you, you may find yourself in situations that some would call 'lucky' but that are really just a product of being pro-active and positive.

If there is a car accident are you 'lucky' not to have been in it?

If there is a car accident are you 'unlucky' to have been in it?

Maybe there was just a car accident and we prescribe our own, human, thoughts on the situation and call events 'lucky' or 'unlucky'

I don't believe in 'luck' as a tangible entity, I believe things happen. Sometimes we find they are good to us and other times they are bad. But beyond that no. Nothing.

(Not a very 'Pagan', as far as I'm aware, view I grant you but those are some of my thoughts on the topic! )

:laugh: Maybe not the best question to ask on a Jedi sight. I was curious to find out more of the "superstitious" or "affirmative" ways people try and attract luck into their lives. Though, the more scientific and down to earth ideas are appreciated as well...even if they might not be very "pagan".
