Luck is a rather common topic in my thought life. Mostly because of how non-lucky I am. And I say non-lucky because I can’t necessarily consider myself unfortunate and I’m most definitely not lucky. Really, as a Christian, I shouldn’t believe in luck at all. I mean, I know that luck is a relic left over from a conglomerate of pagan and defunct religions hailing mostly from the island country of the United Kingdom. And I also know that God is out there and He also happens to be in control of pretty much everything. So, whether good or bad, things that happen in my life can’t really be outside of His grand scheme. But I just can’t bear to blame God for all the stupid and bad crap in my life, so I tend to blame myself. Or, at least, I blame the part of myself I have absolutely no control over: meaning, my fortune. So, when something good happens in my life it’s God’s blessing and when something bad happens outside of my control it’s my bad luck. And, I know I know, that is a pretty stupid and depressing outlook on life.
Well, I think, on that uplifting note. I shall end this first, disastrous blog entry and call it an evening. Maybe Old Sam’ll inspire me tomorrow.

Luck is a result of having an open mind and having positive thoughts. People with positive attitudes are attracted to an open mind and to positive thoughts.
One way to have more positive thoughts is to use positive words in your speach. The positive words will lead to positive attitudes and to positive thoughts. Once you have a positive attitude, luck will be drawn to you like a magnet.
