Luck and any associated terms... is it real?

[mrroboto]

You often hear of people winning the lottery, large windfall, positions in life, ..... "oh man that guy is so lucky he just won the megamillions" or "wow, I just found $100 on the floor today is my lucky day"

to i started a business from scratch and now I'm a millionaire

as I observe the world and are seeing more and more wealthy people popping up i just ask myself gee so and so is so lucky to be in such a fortunate position. 

that lead me to ask myself is it luck.? is luck real? how come not me? 

in so many words are we all destined to be lucky and have something of the sort transpire for us? does the universe bestow some more than others with luck?

 

thoughts..

many thanks

Ah, I remember discussing about this last year. Feel free to have a re-read

Everything is God's plan.

There is a lesson to be learned in every situation.

Luck is just another name for trial (to learn some lessons and grow) or another name for grace (for what goods you've done till now and you deserve this gift) .

It can be both at the same time as well.

It's not an accident; remember master Oogway "There are no accidents".

If luck didn't exist, Trump would be in prison.

Je ne sais pas. (French for i don’t know)

Seemingly sometimes i‘ve been lucky and other times very unlucky.

Lucky or unlucky is probably just the mind or ego trying to make sense of what is unknowable.

[gettoefl]

Ego has one function

To compare with others

Usually it will say, you are lucky and I am cursed

When luck shines, it will usually say, I deserve this since I placed myself in the right place at the right time

We are all identical clones trying to realize this world is meaningless and there is much better available for us

Grace in fact is ever present

It's not luck to receive it

You just need to implore

Please show me a better way

Me and you both know everything is God's will, nothing happens unless God wills it. The confusing thing is....God seems to give some more luck than others, and the only thing I can think is its because the Universe needs that event to happen so badly....that it makes some stories outrageous.

But I won't lie....God's Mind confuses me on this one.

When a bird shits on your face you will understand bad luck.

What if it's something you didn't want ? But you get it? bad luck? 

 

Why luck? Whether it's good or bad, luck is no good.

How do you balance between The arbitrary randomness of life and God's will?

@mrroboto Funny enough some time ago I asked Claude to tell me something very important that even very intelligent people overlooked. He answered me about the role that randomness plays in our life, how seemengly aleatory events can shape our whole identity, pov, wife/husband, friends, job...

Luck isn’t real. It’s completely relative. Whatever you perceive as good if it happens to you or someone else and you don’t really know how or why it happened you call it lucky. And vice versa with bad luck. What’s seems to to you may be perceived as very unlucky to someone depending on their circumstances. You may claim so and so is so lucky to win the lottery, yet from their point of view it could end up the worst most unlucky thing they’ve ever felt happened to them, if for one reason or another it lead to breakdowns of relationships, breakdown of one’s mind, depression, unwanted fame, all sorts whatever shit can come from it. It’s so relative that it’s so blatantly obvious to anyone who’s done a slight bit of introspection, that there’s actually no such thing as objective luck. It’s a crock of shit that you have invented
