Well, not everyone does. It's just that many people get caught up in Fate and Destiny that they fool themselves into thinking there is no Freewill.\n\nBut I say that there most definately is freewill. Although one could be born poor, there are so many directions you could take, choices made, to pull yourself up. To relate your unfortunate situation or condition to Fate or Destiny is often a sign of giving up Hope.\n\nAnd Hope is one thing that all people need to move forward in life, to find fulfillment, find happiness. Freewill is not hated here... rather very much respected :)

I believe that if you have that patience. To look and find a four leaf clover. You will do it again. Once you mastered the patience part of it. You will also have championed the patience to complete other tasks that will be benificial to you through out life. If you choose to call that luck. So be it. I prefer to call it starting a task and completing it. I have parent that has collected thousands of them. She has them in books, in picture frames. She has four leaf clovers from around the world and a number of decades old. She is wise and self secure.  Is that Luck??

destiny is something that was predetermined to happen- it was destined to occur.\n\nluck happens completely by chance, possibly for no reason whatsoever.\n\nfortune is something you derive at by making it happen; it is an effect of a good deed, etc.

Someone who predicts the future (sometimes claiming to have knowledge from a special talent or gift).

A wise person once said ... the lucky are those who take opportunity and weigh the odds in thier favor.\n\nThose who manipulate the odds (loaded dice, marked cards) seem lucky but they are in fact taking an opportunity and weighing it in their favor; I don't condone or suggest cheating.\n\nBut if the odds of winning at something are 10 to 1, why not do it 10 times instead of doin it 1?\n\nTrue some may win on the 1 try but as the lottery slogan goes:\n\n"Ya gotta be in it to win it" and "Whether you think you can or think you can't... You're right"

I feel that luck is created.What would I do if spouse told me that? I'd tell him See Ya,and I'd go buy him a rabbits foot,some four leaf clovers and serve that on his dinner plate.That's mean I know,but that was rude what the wife told him.

Life is what we make it with God's guidance. It is actually not "luck or coincidence".  Its God's Divine Providence for us to make use of. When we say "Good Luck" it supposedly meant "God Bless".\n\nMy 17 yr old wants a job this summer, so we're looking for one.  Yesterday after my work and after her school, we were not able to enter our apartment coz we forgot the key so we waited outside for my husband to come from work.  A kind neighbor next door invited us in for a tea while we were waiting.  We just moved in so we do not know her yet but she was nice and the best thing was she works for this organization which helps the youth find summer jobs. Luck or coincidence?

hmm but they all relate to people who practise different forms of Magick for example necromany deals only with manipultion of the energies of the dead, vodoo, shamanism , alchemy and druidism,  are actually systems of belief , fortune teller tells someone fortune usually are full of crap a diviiner predicts their own future , and astrolger reads planetray signs , a witch or warlock is used to refer to someone who practises wicca/pagan beliefs, an illusionist  or conjurer is an entertainer no reall magick here I could go on but don't have the time although there are many titles when it comes to apractise as diverse and varied as magick there must be terms to differentaite , I sure if you look into christainity you can come up with just as many different names describing members who have different practises with in that system

I truely believe that people whom think positively about people and life are more likely to take risks and act nicely subconciously, then negative thinkers. This then manipulates the fact that they are more open to opportunities than negative people. We as people  ing eneral make our own luck in different ways and in the choices we make. Making good choices, not the right choices,but good choices will lead you to a better life and more positive feedback from people. Some luck is based on fate of something that is bound to happe no matter what and some is based on manipulating your opportunities.

In a way I could say, but I think a lot of these people got the right idea already.  I don't REALLY believe in luck.  I think that everything that just happens, happens.  Like when you play a card game you don't get lucky to win or don't even have to have any skill, it is just a matter of probability.  The ones we consider "lucky" just happen to be going in the right direction.  And card players we call "skillful" just know how to hit the odds just right.  It's all about the odds.  Like when someone randomly throws a basketball and makes it in the goal, we would say "That was just luck".  It is all a matter of probability and how we use it.

At all times in my life since they were first introduced to me I have believed in the existance of fortune cookies.  As far as believing the fortunes, I've noticed that many don't even try to tell your fortune, rather they just give uplifting thoughts or ideas.  I will say though that I had one fortune cookie where the "lucky numbers" on the back of the paper helped me win 5 dollars at Keno.

Depends on which definitition of the word 'fate' you are using.  For example -- Definitions of fate on the Web:\n\ndestiny: an event (or a course of events) that will inevitably happen in the future \n\nDestiny: the ultimate agency that predetermines the course of events (often personified as a woman); "we are helpless in the face of Destiny" \n\ndestine: decree or designate beforehand; "She was destined to become a great pianist" \n\nfortune: your overall circumstances or condition in life (including everything that happens to you); "whatever my fortune may be"; "deserved a better fate"; "has a happy lot"; "the luck of the Irish"; "a victim of circumstances"; "success that was her portion" \nwordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn\n\nDestiny or Fate concerns the fixed natural order of the universe. It is the invincible necessity to which even the gods must accede, as the Sibyl of Delphi confessed. Destiny is fate, personified in Greek culture by the three Moirae (called the Parcae by the Romans), with a Nordic counterpart in the three Norns.

Unfortunately it appears that way to be true for many people.Others may refer to this as Karma. Tempting fate is another usage as is preordained and predestination.Our lives or just being alive is a matter of fate  within this universe. To deny a connection to it is like denying our own existence.Fate can be from certain bad or good choices. Others have referred to this as alternate realities or programs within the universe or Matrix. If you apply science and logic I would imagine this should become more clear. Free will does have it's limitations within a given number of variables and common laws.Don't be dismayed by averages though. It depends on who you know and come in contact with physically, emotionally,spiritually and psychically. We often learn and display ourselves by example so keep that thought in mind also. Logic is the key to greater understanding not arrogance. If life is a test of our psyche than it is whether or not we chose to ignore our intuitions or guides.Each one of us is like a math problem or theory being applied or tested.Life isn't just one program but several programs running at the same time.So fate isn't just white or black or true or false it's multiple choice in a world of chance or multiple fates or alternate endings.This is what some may refer to as the Book of Life.
