Luck, or choice

Lucky! 

Somebody said to me,
"You are you a very lucky person to live in such a place, but of course, you made your own luck."

If I can make my own luck, then can't anybody?

What "luck" are we each making in our own lives?

Blessings, good fortune, Good Luck

Just like anybody else, I have had things happen that one could call unlucky.  My life, like most I believe, seems to have cycles, times of good and times of hard and difficult, some would say bad.

We need the one to understand the other, to help us set ourselves in a direction that can make us happy.  So, the hard times have their purpose and positive side.  Adversity gives us perspective and focus.

Luck is a strange word and implies something out of my control.  I am sure that there is much that is out of my control, and I don't focus too much on that which I can do nothing about, other than to understand it and use it to help me in deciding what to do about those things that I can affect.
