I’m a Christian, so I don’t believe in luck as a phenomenon. Despite that, I’ve come to think of myself as lucky, even though I know it’s just blessings from God. I’ve even been called lucky by others I’ve worked with and been friends with. It always gave me a chuckle and I would thank God for it.

I’ve known two people over the years who were always unlucky. One was relentlessly negative. Nothing good ever happened to her and even if something good did happen to come her way, she’d find a way to only see the negative. And so, because she was blind to the good stuff, she never actually saw it.
The second person I’ve always thought was unlucky is not a negative person. She’s quite optimistic, it’s just that things almost never work out for her. She’s a person who doesn’t take any advice. She does everything her own way and almost never the conventional way. I suspect it’s due to a deep unhappiness within herself that causes her to try and make herself look more interesting, more unique, more fun. If everyone else studied accounting or law, she’d go to Timbuktu to study ancient desert lizards or something. And then she’d wonder why she can’t find a job. This person is not a Christian, but interestingly enough, the only time I’ve ever seen things work out well for her is recently. And one of the big changes I’ve noticed is that she credits God for it (something she’d never EVER done before).
