Do you know people who seem to be quite fortunate or people who seem to be quite unfortunate in life? I know people that seem to always get the bad end of things and others who seem to ease on through.............or maybe its just perception/attitude?



So whats your take?

i am definatly bad luck girl...

eveery1 is always waiting for the next thing to happen!!

but each time something bad happens, i tend to look at the lighter side, see what possitives can come of it or have come of it...

but i defeniatly believe in people luck in direct good/bad fortune.. however there are pro's and con's to each...

when i say my luck is bad... lol... i defy odds... lol.... if there is a 0.2% chance of something negative going to happen... Specialle is in that 0.2 % if therew is an 80% of something negative specialle is in that negative... LOL

not all bad though.. life is never boring lol

Don't believe in luck.

Life is life, whatever happens, happens...

Well....my take used to be that everything in life is about what you put in, nothing more nothing less. Now I believe that when you really have a heartfelt goal, you WILL have to fight for it, obstacles will appear from absolutely nowhere...I dont know if its spiritual or emotional.

I read alot of Biographies, I notice most always people who are exceptionally famous or successful in their field have the most abnormally bad luck in the beginning,I mean to the point where its not even funny.

I know people who have such bad luck, one girl had a family member die almost every three months.....come her exam time, someone in her family would die........seriously, once one family member died, the person organising the funeral died the day before the funeral, one daughter died, within six weeks the father dies suddenly.....almost every time I met up with her, a new member of her family had died.........maybe its just coincidence.

So yes, I now believe there is such thing as good fortune and bad fortune.

You have a powerful mind. Your thoughts are
magnets. You attract into your life what you expect,
fear, prepare for and concentrate on
. Once you give
your mind an assignment, like a goal, it alerts
the attention center in your brain. Your mind
begins to filter out any information that does not
align with your focus and expectation.


Your attention goes to your intention, (e.g) If you focus
on looking for a particular type of job, your mind will
filter out other possibilities and focus on your
intention. You will begin to see and hear about
possibilities based on
your goal. The world is full of clues, possibilities,
opportunities, people, resources and information. (there to assist your intentions)
Once your intent, interests and focus are clear, your
mind filters out the unnecessary so you can become
aware of what you value
.

What do you focus on? What are you dreaming
about, talking about, preparing for, giving thanks for?
expecting or fear? Remember Job in the Bible
said, "That which I have feared has come upon me"
You will attract those experiences because your
dominant thoughts are alerting your attention
center.


Jewel Diamond Taylor


That's pretty much what I think about 'good and bad luck'. Positivity and faith are the guiding forces.



God determines who walks into your life...It's up to you who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go. May God bless all of you and your life be full of Peace, Prosperity, Love and Abundance. Amen

you know what, not really sure bout this but i used to think bad luck was a curse from god or something, cuss when it comes to having bad lucks 2005 and 2006 were my worst years ever. from family deaths to being homless, to not having a pound to pay for a fuking buss pass to go for a job interview or getting a haircut, to my home being almost repossed. to being broke, you know things are bad when a pizza hut ad come on and you fuking wish you were eating it. you know thing are bad when you dont wana watch a food commercial cuss its gonna make you hungry. and that the last thing you want when you only got 3 pounds at home.

also not having sex for a whole year. lmao. i think its a karmar thing. what goes around come back thats how i see it. somethings just wont work-out no matter how you plan them. the good part about having hardtimes is that it helps with your maturity and you appreciate what you had. someone told me that when youv lost all youv had gained in life and you later on regain it , it make you a better person.

on the other hand poeple are responsible for thier lives. so bad luck might be due to our own stupidity and maybe lack of planing ahead. like i said though planing could backfire too. so id like to view this whole bad luck thing as not planing your life on the right path from the start. infact im not sure. its a spiritual thing lol


suicide is a parmanent solution to a temporary problem.

drug addiction is a temporary solution to a parmanent
problem.

People are born into differenct circumstances, some people arevictims of circumstance,but for the most part the way you live your life and govern your thoughts always attracts certain energies/forces to you.

Two sides of the same coin. Especially in retrospect.

Bad luck and good luck are all part of a continum regarding to how you manage your fate. I have had bad like like joke and stuff you could never anticipate and one after the other. The question is what do you take from that and what it represents. In my case it showed me that my road was going to be complex and challeging and difficult. So the good luck was in understanding what that was about and in terms of it was indirectly pointing me in a particular direction which proved very successful.
