Wow! This is a great post! I agree completely but it's sad for those of us who don't have much luck in any area... Surely someone can relate to this. I get little flashes of good luck here and there but nothing that ever moves me up to the "next level". It's tiring.

YES! But lucky people usually can't see how lucky they are and they assume the world just works that way for everybody.

Be glad you don't have bad luck...

If having a positive attitude and being outgoing are "luck", then yes some people are just luckier.

Great observation! I've known some really lucky people in my life and they really don't seem to appreciate how charmed their lives are even though evidence of the struggles of others surround them. I wish I knew why life is so easy for some people, but I don't. I figure the rest of us just have to work harder, be smarter, treat others as we'd like to be treated, perform random acts of kindness, smile, and fight through the hard times with as much grace and goodwill as we can muster. Best wishes.

How do you know how easy or hard things are for people? You don't know everything about them.

In general, I don't. Sorry, I should have clarified. The people I was referring to are people I am very close to - that's how I know. As for strangers and casual acquaintances, I have no idea and don't presume to.

Appreciated. My husband has college friends who went into the same field as him. Most never managed to get the first job in the field and others had their careers stall. Out of about 30 that he still has contact with, there are only a few that got into the field. They'll go on about how lucky he was. But I didn't see them put in the same effort and risk he took to get into his career. When we started out, we invited them to join us. They said it was too risky and bowed out. They can't just call him lucky when he worked hard and was willing to take the chances necessary to get where he is. They had a choice. There was some luck involved, but a lot of hard work and creativity too. If you never stand out from the crowd, you don't get lucky.

women have less excuse then men however , if a woman cant get a man , chances are she has some hang up about sex , frigid
