I’m sorry to disagree but If luck was a skill I would of won the jack pot years ago! With my photography,I use my skill I’ve earned over 40 years & yes…..sometimes I get luck!
Honest truth and words.. Sometimes people blame others for mistakes of life, But possible mistakes have possible solutions which is hidden in their heart..
I always believed luck is when something happens in our favour but we didn’t cause the effect (directly), like, it’s because of someone else’s decision-making.
An interesting sentiment, Barbara! …I’m a big believer in the notion that we make our own luck; that fortune favours the bold.
I used to be so risk averse… so frightened of failure with different endeavours, but I am quite inspired by a moving motivational speech the actor/comedian Jim Carrey gave 9inspired largely by his own father’s crippling fear of failure – which he often quite movingly talks about) about how “If you’re going to fail, you might as well fail at something you’re good at”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE7t9G35dtk
Truly inspiring. It’s no wonder that Jim Carrey is so well liked by everyone that he works with; what a nice man.
I will play the video at home…
For now: yes… luck is something that isn’t completely independent of what we do. And, I think that what we call “unlucky events” are events meant to “get us somewhere” where we’re supposed to be in our life path. Going through those unlucky or tough moments call be hard, but we ultimately “see” what they were preparing for us…
Thank you for your words and video (will let you know after I watch it..)
Thank you for the link that is very inspiring , but it’s a David Razvan video… never heard of him before, but yes, it’s more or less what I also think… 🤗
I’d say luck is an illusion… Along with fate… and other things… If the world was on “Rails” there would be no reason to live at all…. Life is worth living because of the unknown… Not knowing drives us to know…
I had written an article like this one. I am to post it 12 hours from now

Angels do exist but are they responsible for what we do or don’t? 🤗

Sometimes, I like to think that someone is watching over me

Someone (or “something”) is definitely watching over each of us. I am a strong believer of that 🤗🤗

I get your point, but I think that luck smiles to those who help themselves…

I would say you are wrong on that. Luck has nothing to do with skills. If you are lucky enough you will win a lottery! 🙂
