Luck is when something good happens and you did NOTHING to earn it, or deserve it.

Ohhh, that one got me thinking. I totally have a different definition today from the way I thought it was when I was younger. Back then it was a special treat of something unexpected, and when I was working/college, etc., I thought "Luck" was what you would get when hard work and opportunity came together.
Today I think being "lucky" is a frame of mind/thoughts. Kind of like buying into the whole "The Secret" analogy of your thoughts and your visions. I believe you're "lucky" if you learn to cherish life, not take things/happenings for granted, living in the now, being grateful, and learning/growing with each day.
I totally love what Randy Pausch says in his interview (& book)... "we cannot change the cards we are dealt, just the way we play the hand." I have another longer quote from Charles Swindoll that is similar. And, this, I believe, goes with everyone, no matter the status of your health, wealth, past problems, current problems, etc....it's how we handle those ups/downs and even the really good things in life. Because, I believe, if you can do that with grace, dignity, and love...you are VERY "lucky!"
Laura is a much deeper thinker than I !! :)
Well you didn't say to define good or bad luck. Here is one of the definitions that I found on dictionary.com for the word luck; "the force that seems to operate for good or ill in a person's life, as in shaping circumstances, events, or opportunities".
Luck is the event that happens at the intersection of preparation and hard work.
Wow what a deep question!!!
I think luck is like Karma. I've been reading THE SECRET ( love it )
thinking positive thoughts bring positive reactions - Luck!!!
