Do you believe in luck? Good and bad?

Is there anything you do to increase your good luck or decrease your bad luck? I'm in the need for some good luck and I was just wondering ^.^

I just use it like a saying, "oh I'm having bad luck today" if things I have planned are just not going my way that day.
I'm just having a bad day.
I don't consider luck like a force or something so I don't feel the need to do things to increase it or decrease it, what will be will be.

Hm, I kinda think that good luck and bad luck is balanced, but at times it can feel that you're having one more than the other.

I've noticed that when I'm feeling down, I usually have good luck. For example, years ago my mum had to stay in hospital over Christmas after she got blood poisoning in her leg. I was worried, so at school everything felt horrid. Then, after registration, one of the librarians came into my classroom and said that I'd won their competition (I think it was a find the treasure on the map thing) and I got a big bag of chocolate, with a plush snowman.

Honestly I've never really thought about it. When something good happens, I often see it as good luck (like as a karma thing), but when bad things happen I never blame it on bad luck. Kind of one-sided, I know, but I don't see the point in worrying about bad luck. Bad things happen, but I always try to find out what I can learn from that situation and use it to grow as a person.

As for increasing your good luck, you could always try the stereotypical four leaf clovers, horse shoes, etc. Or maybe positive thinking, but that won't always help. smile

I believe that there is good luck and bad luck, and then there's karma. For instance every time I enter a drawing I win at least once. Even thought I entered and I'm not wealthy so I would really like to get those things, I'm always hoping that some ells wins something or a particular thing. So in a way perhaps, my selflessness/ good karma attracts good luck.
My parents both think I tend to have good luck when it comes down to it. Lately they've taken to having me light a candle for them when they really need a little extra help/luck, instead of doing it them selves. Amazingly it's worked every time (knock on wood) .
Good or bad, life happens and the universe weaves in mysterious ways. While we should embrace life as it happens, here are some simple things you can do about it: Keep you home or space clean and free of clutter; this may seam trivial but this can effect you mood, mind, and disrupt positive patterns in your life. Smudge your home/space by burning herbs around it and concentrating on the corners and getting negative energy out. If you have a Besom you can also go though your house with it in the same way (never let your Besom touch the ground). If you think a particular thing is causing bad luck sprinkle salt or salt & water over it. Having car trouble, put a cat whisker or a clear crystal in the glove box. I have tons of these, but I'll leave it at that.

Luck can be a bit like karma when you are looking to increase good luck, in that you can draw the attention of the good luck spirits by doing good things from your good intentions.

If good intentions are difficult for you, you may need to clean up your thoughts and actions and surroundings.

Within, without. What is within can be projected outwardly and attracts thusly.
