Is life about luck?

Question

I have gone through life easy in many ways. People have always been nice to me, and people always watched out for me. Things like this make me think that life is just luck. What does everyone else think?

Answer 1

yes life is all about luck.

only that luck is the combination of hard work, perseverance, determination and faith. ^_^

Answer 2

Life isn't "about" any one thing.  Surely you've had some misfortune sprinkled in with all of your good fortune, haven't you?  

I object to the idea that "life is about luck" since it implies that what a person chooses to do plays no role in how things turn out.  Though it's also clear to me that luck sometimes does play a role in what happens in life.

Answer 3

I think humans make their luck but there are unforeseen circumstances every now which we can't change.  If people are nice to you and look out for me I'd think you have been nice to them as well so it's your work rather than luck.

Answer 4

Life is not "about luck" in my opinion.  You seem a very positive person who is willing to seek and respond positively to advice.  Life is what you make of what you are given.  If you are a positive person who feels that when you need help there is someone around who can help...then you will be open to see the helper when they are needed.  I have always felt the same way but one time, life circumstances were so overwhelming for a time that my positive attitude about life was...."okay, one foot in front of the other and one breath at a time for as long as it takes."  Eventually, I realized that I was walking without thinking and had been breathing for three months with no particular difficulty.  

I believe that a positive attitude toward people and life circumstance in general does wonders.  It may have a lot to do with the pattern of blood flow to the brain that you are born with.  But, for me, I am very happy with whatever it is that I have been given.  Life has not been a fairy tale for me.  But, I live in today and today is great!
