"The best luck of all is the luck you make for yourself."---Douglas MacArthur
I am a very lucky person. I've been lucky in that I still have my health, my parents, my family, and a wonderful life. These are things that I believe I have been granted from God (the universe, destiny, or call it whatever you like). I am lucky and grateful.
I also recognize that some of my "luck" that I have in my life (e.g. jobs, education) have come from opportunities that have opened itself up to me and taking a chance, from taking the path that is less traveled (even knowing ahead of time that I will travel that road only by myself), from working hard and believing in myself and persuading others to believe in me. Now, I don't know if this "luck" is better than the God given luck, but it is still quite wonderful.
I encourage you to go out and make your own luck. I don't promise that it will be easy and that you will enjoy the entire journey. Yet, I will say that at the end of the journey, you will be greatly rewarded in some way and you will better appreciate the luck that you've made for yourself.
What luck have you made for yourself? What do you consider to be the best kind of luck in your life? How have you been lucky in life?

I would have to agree with this quote! You make your own luck because life is not given to anyone for free! Thats what you did for yourself to better your life! Now you are well off.
It's good to have blessed above, He watch over me each day and continue to bless me another day to live...
It sounds like you are very blessed, Anonymous. However, how are you lucky in life? What kind of luck have you created in your own life?
