Can you turn your luck around?

[Anonymous]

I am one of those people who seemingly has bad luck. Things that can go wrong, do. It is deeply painful as I look at my life in contrast to my lucky sister. She gets everything she wants and luck is on her side. Thankfully, I have a good head on my shoulders and I try to keep my nose clean, keep calm and carry on. But its so unfair. It hurts to be the unlucky one!

I am by nature very unlucky, but I’m able to conjure some positive experiences because I’m attractive, charming, smart, nice, and (more than anything else) an extremely persistent, hard worker.

Fate smiles on the prepared.

I posted a thread about making more mistakes.
I feel like I’ve always been sort of a lucky person … until recently.
But It feels like I’m creating my own bad luck.
Are you sure it’s a luck issue, op?
Could it also be perspective?
You are seeing the bad and overlooking the good?

Luck, by its very nature, is not something you can control. However, you can improve your odds of things working out for you by being the best prepared that you can be in any situation. Also, sometimes what feels like bad luck is really a rigidity that keeps us from being able to pivot quickly, think creatively on the spot, and adjust accordingly when something doesn’t go the way we thought it would.

I wouldn’t say I had bad luck necessarily but that it wasn’t good luck either more meh than anything. Then I got clear on what I wanted, did visualizing techniques and things have substantially improved! I had a terrible neighbor, made a simple drawing of a boat,
Wrote her name on it and wished her well far away from me and dang if we hardly ever see her and never interact anymore! Anyways if life is happening for you not to you maybe change your perspective and attitude, can’t hurt!

There is no such thing as bad luck. You are constantly seeing the glass half empty. OP you need to reframe it.

Things are not happening TO you. They are happening FOR you. What is the lesson? What is the suggestion? What is the opportunity for growth and change?

You might benefit from trying to avoid comparing yourself to your sister. Try to focus on the things that are going well in your life and the things you have control over. Look forward, not back.

If you compare yourself to others who seemingly have better lives or situations then you you feel unlucky all the time. Compare yourself to others who have less than you and you might start feeling better about your situation.

Everyone lives a pattern. We all have behaviors that we may not realize we have and it becomes a pattern. Identify it and get yo know yourself better.

That being said, I firmly believe some of us are born to sweet delights, some are born to endless nights..

You cannot change luck - some people truly are always lucky and some unlucky but you can change how smooth your life goes. You can change your own perception of how your life is. You have to define what you say is luck. And you have to figure out if there are things that can improve your happiness. Maybe there are, maybe not.

Just to sum it up and say nothing ever goes my way isn't really a good way to look at it!

I can tell that PP has never truly experienced something tragic and/or senseless. The suggestion that a tragic event is happening FOR someone is beyond insensitive. Box up the toxic positivity and show some compassion, PP.

Maybe it's your karma from past lives. Choice matter.

Do you realize that people who don't experience something tragic live a different life style? I am 50 y o. I never had surgery, I don't have any chronic deceases, I never even had a flu or covid so far. No one from my close family died young, my parents are still alive and active and healthy. My all children are very healthy and doing well in their adult lives. You have to change not only your attitude, thoughts, but also your actions in life. They choices you make every day matter and will affect you first of all.
