I was always told I was lucky by my 2nd husband. As soon as he said that, it changed
I'm not unlucky or lucky now. Life just throws us stuff and we have to deal with it however we can. It's not all plain sailing. Life is testing, it's how we deal with it.
As long as I am comfortable, relatively healthy, can find peace in something to take my mind off what's bad, then I think I'm on a bit of a winner.
I appreciate what I have considering what others go through in life.

Re: Lucky in life
Yes ive wondered about some who appear to be lucky in life . I look at some who live in exotic places in the world , beautiful homes and appear to have endless money and life is the best and wonder how it happened , usually with help from wealthy family , yet they must suffer sometimes in life . They have more choices than ordinary folk in other ways perhaps the best health care to ease their suffering or help with chores and children in the way of live in servants and child care . Maybe their lifes are more adventurous as able to do what they please as and when . A quality of life not available to usI guess they still have life problems they still experience loss and grief .

Re: Lucky in life
I think in many ways luck is something you can feel even if to others you don't look very lucky. I have always considered myself lucky because despite the hardships I've had a lovely husband and family. Many faced with some of the things we've gone through would feel very unlucky I believe.

Re: Lucky in life
Obviously, many people make a "success" of their lives in many ways but, conversely, many people end up a "failure", despite their efforts.In some cases, luck (or serendipity) plays a massive part of "success":

Re: Lucky in life
I always think that, if I hadn't worked hard and made some good decisions on serious matters, life could have been much harder.I am quite positive about things, and that helps me, but we all have to accept that life is never easy...even when you have money!

Re: Lucky in life
Some years ago, an elderly lady was telling me about her life and l remarked how lucky she was.At that moment, she pulled me up and said, ‘l wasn’t lucky, l was fortunate’. Now, when l hear or read about people saying they are lucky, l remember her words.
l have just googled the difference between the two words......
Luck is something that happens by chance. Fortune is something that happens by choice. Being Lucky means chance favoured you accidently. ... Being Lucky is when good things happen that are out of your hands because of chance, being fortunate is when good things happen because you made the right choices in life.

Trying not to sound sycophantish!I totally agree with your post and that is my outlook on life too!
For me, just waking up in the morning is lucky!
