Luck or not?

Some people believe in luck, others don't. Maybe luck is a combination of things, all coming together at the right exact moment? Oprah says it's preparedness meeting opportunity, I could agree with some of that.

However, whether it be timing, or just being at the right place at the right time, I believe somewhere that thing called luck is put into the equation.

You hear alot about America being the land of opportunity. That takes care of alot of the being at the right place thing but there's more elements to luck than that. Of course one of the biggest strokes of luck in life is what parents & environment you are born into. No matter what cards we were dealt when we got here, we are here and we are in America, so there's some luck. Not to say that you must have luck to be happy, but it sure can help in alot of areas.

Maybe if I concentrate more on luck, how good it has been to me so far, it will befriend me and help take it's enemy of strife and struggle out with a vengence?!
