As today is St. Patrick’s Day, I thought our topic should be about Luck.
I am sure you’ve all heard it said, either on TV or in movies, “I don’t believe in luck, I make my own.” So this week’s discussion is whether there is such a thing as luck or is luck something you make happen yourself?
My own belief is that there is such a thing as luck when it comes to random games of chance, like dice or cards. The only way to make your own luck in games of chance is to cheat. I also believe that those people in life we feel are lucky are the one’s that make their own luck. They create a vision of what they want and then take the actions to get it.
What are your thoughts?

In my world, there are 2 kinds of luck:
1) Winning a lottery: pure luck.
2) Being presented an opportunity to advance and succeed greatly while in passionate pursuit of a dream: created luck.
Created luck: ‘a moment in time where preparation meets opportunity’.
In this way we can all create our own luck. We simply need to be prepared so when the opportunity presents itself, we are poised to receive it.
Rarely does a million dollar deal fall into the lap of a couch potato… that would bring us back to pure luck! :D
