murphy's law.

[cryforme1v]

ok i know the law is figurative. but how the hell do you avoid the bad luck?
i'm not meaning bad luck with dating or bad luck with he said she said shit.
i'm meaning down right "ok murphy's at it again" type of luck.
i guess i'm being superstitious but is there a way to turn your luck around to make things at least bearable without wanting to say fuck everything?

Some people are super duper lucky. I believe this is "evened out" by people who are super duper unlucky. Of course, you can always try to improve your luck by planning ahead, researching, working hard, etc.

Just a thought.

Yep, us unlucky folks "rain of parades" without intention. Good times. But it's relative. I find luck in either direction only affect the little things, like gambling, sports, lies, and injuries.

i don't believe bad luck 'follows' a person. but you have to look at what 'luck' might be. finding $5 in the parking lot, getting the good parking spot, etc. i have a co-worker who sprays herself with this god awful sage to keep away evil spirits. YOU make your own destiny. the right and wrong choices you make in this life define you. not every choice i make for myself or family might be right, but i stand by them.
with all that said, i do believe it is a frame of mind. i live by one simple rule: Carpe Diem. seize the day. you will not believe what having this one change of attitude has on one's life.

Agree!

With all of the above. I don't believe in "luck." Random events do occur, with little or not input from me. I like to think that I can make situations good or bad based on my attitude. Forethought and preparation never hurt either. There are those strange occurrences (for me, it's been a string of car-related incidents) that you can't control. Are those related to luck? I think it's just "random-monium"

 

[Smilin' Bob]

of course i do believe in Karma. and Karma can be a bitch. all i can say is follow the 'Golden Rule'. that, in and of itself is luck.

If you're talking about luck - I've had my fair share. Shitty luck and fabulous luck - but I'm grateful for all of it. Why? I have learned to find the silver lining. Sometimes I don't see it for a couple of years....but it's always there, waiting to be found.


Murphy was a smart guy. He didn't see it as luck - he was just the first to realise that physics enables us to predict toast off a table top will fall butter-side down.

My luck also seems to be like that...I read a book called "The Secret" some of it woeked for me.

I think we all have lots of good luck and lots of bad luck, every day. Those who say they are unlucky are glass-half-empty people, and those who say they are lucky are glass-half-full type people.

When good luck fails to appear make your own.

That being said there are times in peoples lives when this becomes and increasingly harder thing to do. In those situations sit down grab a beer watch some t.v. and start over tomorrow. Luck is much like the weather in the midwest you don't like it wait 5 minutes it'll change

I suggest you study the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui
(pronounced fung shway). It's the belief that we are all surrounded by good and bad energies all the time that travel through the air and how these energies can affect our lives in good and bad ways.

By taking certain actions regarding changing your environment you can help to keep away bad "Chi" and attract good "Chi". Like your furniture arrangement, how the shape of your neighbors house that's facing yours can affect you...all kinds of things.
You can find out what your good and bad geographical directions are depending on your birth year and which is the best direction for your head to point when you sleep.

You can learn what remedies (items) that you can put in certain areas of your home to enhance your luck and good fortune. You can learn things like not sitting, sleeping, eating or spending a lot of time under open beams in ceilings, learn about "poison arrows" that might be pointing at you in your home that you are not aware of, keeping your bathroom door closed...stuff like that.

And You don't have to believe in it for it to work in your life.

But it does work and you can take my word for that.
