You create your own luck in this lifetime. Sure there exits "dumb blind luck"...but we are ultimately responsible for creating the majority of lucky breaks in our lifetime.
Lol its true and not every one views luck as equating to being rich.
Your attitude is what's holding you down.
For example if I wanted to have a great career that requires a college education then it's up to me to make that happen. And that's exactly what I did.
Also if I wanted a life free from drama or kids, that would be up to me.
If I wanted to win at gambling (which I do quite often because I am lucky in that way ), then it would be up to me to walk into that casino and gamble.
None of the above could happen without me creating those avenues/breaks for myself.
Sitting around wishing or praying for it is not going to amount to a hill of beans. If you were not born with a silver spoon in your mouth then it's up to you to make something out of your life.
The best religious spiritual belief is the religion with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit , which people are under the wing of God , and through the prayers with the authority of the believer life comes with ease through Christ.........Anything less than that comes with a hard life
My friend, some of my hardest times in life were under those wings that you're talking about. Sad to say.

Uh yes creating the avenues...doesn't equate to luck. Not everyone can win at gambling,that's more luck. My point proven.

Never said it did. What I said was that you are responsible for making your own breaks in this lifetime.
It's true that not everyone wins at gambling...but it's up to you to create the avenue of even having the opportunity to win. Does this make any sense to you?

You can't win if you don't play!
By that logic then I should be getting all those job interviews that I'm waiting for right?...
Btw been playing the lottery since 1988 and most I've won is a couple hundred bucks.
1. The lottery is a losing game. No matter how much money you throw in, there are millions of people, you have to spend nearly the number buying multiple tickets to win. Let me explain. I may be wrong, as I have never played the lottery, but as I understand it... There are two types of lottery, the scratchers and the straight up lottery.
The scratchers you can buy as many as you want, but (1) I don't understand them, so I probably did the few scratchers I had wrong (my only encounter was like age 8 or so and I didn't even realize what they were as they were mario themed), but (2) they seem to be choice rather than chance based, meaning I could have the winning card, and scratch the wrong one, I think?
The lottery proper, I think you buy one winning number. Each time. That number is always 1 in something, not 4 in something because at a given time you are purchasing only one number. So one in 6 billion. Go ahead, roll a 6 billion sided die for the number 23. See how often it hits.
2. This on the other hand, your approach is wrong. You get a job by demonstrating follow-up. I got work at the library by volunteering first, working hard, doing other similar jobs, and then applying at the library.
Some things you have are stacked odds, but many things in life you do have a choice in. It's learning to know the difference that is key.

I've heard there are more scratcher winners than numbers ones,though the jackpots are often lower...

Yes by my logic you would be getting them if you have the education, experience, and skill set and good references backing your work performance.
Are you constantly on a merry go round looking for menial jobs? If so then this says that you did not set yourself up (provide yourself the avenues), towards working in a good field or one that was in high demand.
We make our breaks in life, some people know the right path to take to make this happen and others have no clue and wake up wondering why their life is so "unlucky".
Some people think that god will provide for them...I'm sure that's a rude awakening. Some think that if they are successful that it was god who allowed this.
Nope, your success, "lucky" breaks as well as failures are shaped by you and you alone. Your life is shaped by everything you think and by the choices you make.
When folks learn how to take full responsibility for how their life pans out it's amazing how much better that life becomes.
Sitting around with your attitude leads to a life of failures and blame.

I guess your just not that lucky then. If I were that unlucky I would not even waste my time or money playing.
